  This place is a hidden gem. My 11 yo daughter absolutely loved learning about the animals and being able to hold/play with them. The mission of this non-profit is amazing. I will absolutely be returning and telling everyone I know about it💗

  I visited for a fundraiser event and we had a blast!  All of the volunteers,  staff,  and owners were extremely kind and welcoming.  The animals were all well taken care of.   They take in so many animals that are in need it's a really special place.  I look forward to visiting again and plan to volunteer.  😊

  I took my two young children to visit (we did the pig and goat experience) and they LOVED it. The animals are all extremely well cared for, gentle, and friendly. The property is beautiful, and you can easily tell how passionate the owners and volunteers are about animal welfare: not only the care and keeping, but the individual relationships they have with all the animals. They spoke lovingly about each and every one; The abandoned, elderly, disabled, and even the select few who weren't as outgoing, the critters are clearly loved and doted upon.

Everyone was friendly, it was easy to get in, rules were obvious, clear, fair, and in the best  of the animals. I highly recommend visiting The Gud Ark, whatever your age or agenda!

  Tried to call multiple times about my animal and the "sanctuary" this company claims to be. Got sent to voicemail multiple times. I won't be changing my review.

  We reached out to Gud Arc for help with a peacock who had taken up residence in our yard. Although he was beautiful, we knew it wasn’t the safest environment for him. Ellise and her team were able to safely capture and relocate him. They took great care and were compassionate and professional. We are grateful to have them helping animals and people within our community.

  I recommend them for their compassion and care for ALL the animals at the farm.  We had so much fun walking around and greeting all the animals. So many were friendly and waited patiently for their pets.

Elise and Kyle were so very nice and help James and I feed Norman the baby goat - an amazing first time experience!!

Thank you so much for your hospitality, can't wait to come back.

  We had an amazing family experience tonight feeding Norman. We were welcomed right in by the owners who made us feel right at home. Our son is a year and a half and loved most of it but was overtired. I highly recommend seeing this beautiful sanctuary and how well it is organized as well as how many animals are cared for.
