Announcement: Limited Operations

We are currently taking in animals on a limited basis. We can help direct you to another local rehabber if needed, or you can visit the NC Wildlife Resources Commission website to find other rehabbers near you. Thank you for your patience. We hope to re-open fully soon!

In the meantime, please check out our blog for information on our current activities! We may be operating on a limited capacity, but we still have animal patients needing our care and a facility to upkeep. With fewer public interactions, our need for donations is even greater! You can help by donating here: Paypal.

In Memoriam

We here at Noah’s Ark Wildlife Center are deeply saddened by the loss of Joe Lamp. He was a dedicated supporter of Noah’s Ark for over 25 years. He has supported us and all the animals here in many ways helping us with fundraising, grant writing, and public relations. Joe and Joann even answered phones for us during a very hectic hurricane response.

He was a major influence in our 1^st daughter Jessica’s life, assisting in the process of college application and her ultimate success. He then wrote a wonderful letter of support during the adoption of our 2^nd daughter Delana and just recently mesmerized her with his knowledge of orbs and ectoplasma.

Even though we moved to a different state over 17 years ago, we continued to receive his support until his passing. He will be greatly missed by us and all the animals cared for here.

He always told us that “we were golden”, and now he will be “golden” forever.

We will always love you, Joe!

We are also saddened over the loss of our volunteer of 32 years and board member Sharon “Sha” Emminizer on December 6, 2021 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She will be greatly missed by us and all animals. She was always there at a moment’s notice whenever help was needed whether it was with labor, supplies, or just friendship and emotional support. She was a shining example of true dedication to all animals.

Rest in peace Sha, you deserve it.
