Most baby animals are available to be adopted out, though some are sponsored to live here by their owners.Make Build an Ark Animal Rescue a centerpiece of your Ellijay vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Ellijay trip planner.
Even more importantly, we also serve as a hospice to many aging animals to allow them to live out their years in peace and happiness.
Visitors and volunteers are welcome!

My husband and I visited the Ark yesterday afternoon. It is not temporarily closed! The animals all looked healthy and we were able to pet and feed donkeys, a mule, several horses, sheep, rabbits...

We had an absolute blast and the ladies there were so nice. They made the experience for my 10 year old definitely one to remember. I recommend taking your kids to this if you are in the Ellijay area. A very inexpensive super fun way to spend a few hours with your kids. Come help support this local run attraction

Cute for the kids but don’t go if it’s even sprinkling unless you want messy feet. Kids loved it and really enjoyed the animals !
