The Mark's Ark is an animal rescue and adoption group in Melbourne, Victoria. We take in abandoned, abused and surrendered animals and care for them until they are able to be rehomed. All animals we take in are vet checked, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, flea treated and heartworm tested before leaving our care. We are a husband and wife; a two person team. We both work full time, and have 2 dogs, 6 cats, 2 rabbits & 2 cockatiels (all rescues) of our own to take care of, as well as the rescue animals that come into our home. We started our rescue group when we realised (albeit a bit late) that we couldn’t adopt them ALL, but we could help save more than we could keep. Our long term goal is to purchase acreage and to open an animal sanctuary to home animals that come into our care that are not suitable for rehoming and/or need substantial long term care and rehabilitation, due to neglect, abuse and/or illness.
