A Heartfelt Thank You
As we enter this season of gratitude, we're overwhelmed by the generosity, compassion, and dedication of this incredible community. Every animal we've helped, every life we've saved, and every transformation we've witnessed exists because of YOU.
This November, we're celebrating National Gratitude Month by saying THANK YOU to the people who make our mission possible—our volunteers, donors, and supporters who show up day after day for animals in need.

A Thanksgiving Message from Our Founder
Dear Friends,
As I sit down to write this during Thanksgiving week, I'm surrounded by the animals in our care—each one a reminder of why we do this work. Some are healing from physical wounds, others from emotional trauma, but all of them share one thing: the incredible capacity to trust again, to love again, and to bring joy despite everything they've endured.
This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for YOU. For the community that shows up, gives generously, and believes—like we do—that every animal deserves a chance.
In a world that can feel heavy, you are the light. You are the hope. You are the reason we can look into the eyes of a terrified animal and promise them, "Your life is about to get so much better."
From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU.
With gratitude,
Leslie Moran Founder, Executive Director,
Emerald Ark
