The Ark of Hope Animal Rescue, Inc. in Oldtown, MD
The Ark of Hope Rescue, Inc. is a rescue organization located near Cumberland, Maryland, dedicated to taking in abused, neglected, and abandoned animals. The organization is managed by Dianne Care, her husband Bobby, their son Bobby III, and their daughter Elizabeth, who all share a commitment to caring for these animals. Dianne has been involved in animal rescue for many years, but the increasing costs of veterinary bills, food, spaying and neutering, and other necessary supplies became financially challenging. In response, they established the organization to educate the community about animal care and encourage support. They have also constructed a new facility designed to accommodate long-term rescues—animals that require medical attention or have minor behavioral issues that need to be addressed before they can be placed in new homes.
