There is now a small team of workers who do the day to day work caring for the animals:

• Sue, Pauline’s daughter, now owns and manages the Ark, ensuring the welfare of the animals and the smooth running of the centre.
• Laura, Sue’s daughter is continuing the family tradition and is now Assistant Manager.
• Sara, Demi, Kayleigh, Abi & Charlotte work to care for the dogs on a daily basis, Sara is full-time and the others work on a part-time basis. Sara also runs our online auctions and sales
• Ruth and Heather look after all the cats
• Tracey, Lydia, Jess  & Nicola are in charge of the horses
• The above people are all paid (Sara, Ruth, Tracey & Lydia are full-time, while the others are part-time staff) but the Ark also depends on a large number of volunteers, some of them named below who keep the Ark running on a daily basis.
• Barbara keeps this website up to date, deals with all communications by email does collections of items donated.
• Michelle keeps this website and email running smoothly and covers all the web hosting expenses.
• Barbara (a different one!) collects donations of food, bedding etc. and brings them to the Ark.
• Karen helps clean kennels most Fridays and keeps the bedding store in order
• Arthur, John & Jim have been walking dogs on a regular basis for years, including lead training, and have now been joined by Doreen, Gaynor, Steph, Paul, Rob, David & Charlie (if I’ve left anybody off, please forgive me and let me know!) and they ensure the dogs all get daily walks and/or time out in the exercise area
• Pat and Linda also fund-raise in the Mablethorpe area and use a variety of innovative methods to get money out of people.
• Mark comes to the Ark every week and helps staff wherever he’s needed.
• Lin and Jacquie collect donations from around Louth, Mablethorpe, Horncastle and surrounding areas
• Caron runs the Ark shop in Mablethorpe.
• Plus a load of other people who turn up whenever they can to walk dogs and do other jobs around the place,

We also have a multitude of people scattered around the area who raise money, take collection boxes, collect food and bedding for us, knit coats and blankets etc. It doesn’t matter how large or small the job is that people do, all are appreciated. Every small help we receive goes towards the smooth running of the Ark and we need and thank every one. If you’d like a mention on this page, please get in touch and tell us about your involvement.
