Homeless pets are happy to be at Animal ArK in Minnesota. And it might have something to do with the resort-style living they enjoy.

Animals here are not only pampered, but treated like true kings and queens of the grounds. Adoptable dogs stay in what can only be compared to a posh "doggy condo." These vary in size with the largest measuring 9 x 12-feet. During the day, dogs romp in large play yards chewing, chasing, and getting out pent up energy. In the meantime, the Cat wing is serene and full of sunshine. Adoptable kitties spend their time roaming free, basking in private windows, and receiving ample attention throughout the day. Adopters are welcome to spend time with animals in furnished rooms that resemble a real home.

The shelter is only 30 minutes from St. Paul and offers dogs, cats, and rabbits for adoption.
