Located in the heart of “Old” Florida, the Animal Rescue Konsortium (ARK) has served the rural population of the state’s largest county since 2007.
Our Past… ARK was established in 2007 by Mrs. Maggi Hall after her completion of the award- winning restoration project for the Florida Wild Veterinary Hospital. Located in downtown DeLand, the hospital was a notorious “dumping site” for abandoned animals. When requested help for these homeless animals, Animal Rescue Konsortium was born, becoming the only no kill rescue organization in Central Florida.
In January 2018 Mrs. Hall retired and Ginny Oakwood, owner of Crescent City Kennel in Crescent City, Florida, became ARK’s president and relocated its headquarters to its current location in Crescent City on Highway 17.
Our Present… ARK has continued to promote dog and cat adoptions and now features an inviting Cattery to comfortably house adoptable felines, has a small dog shelter, offers emergency in-take of homeless litters, low-cost vaccine clinics and spay and neuter vouchers.
ARK also educates local school children, pet owners and the community about animal welfare best practices and its service offerings especially regarding the importance of spaying and neutering your pet!
Our Future… With the introduction of AR’s mobile spay and neuter mobile clinic in 2025, traveling countywide, ARK continues to grow as a promising hub for animal wellness to pet owners with a hopeful outlook for the future of improving animal welfare in Putnam County and beyond.
