Meet the Team
Woman founded and operated, ARK Pet Rescue's team is one of a kind.
Equine Exchange Manager
Isabella Collins
Bella has been apart of the ARK family since 2021. She was originally a volunteer, and after a year of commitment we were excited to bring her onto the team. She is SO passionate about the animals and the rescue.
​
Currently Bella runs our non-profit tack shop called Equine Exchange, where we sell used equestrian tack to raise money for the shelter.
​
It is an absolute honor to know her and work along side her.

Family.
Running and operating an animal rescue takes a special kind of person. Over the years we have had many amazing volunteers, staff members, and supporters rally behind us, leading us to where we are today. We couldn't be more excited about what the future holds.
