Shelter Manager/Board Member

Kassie Wild

Kassie is the heart behind the rescue. Often the first person that our visitors encounter, she is always there to greet them with a smile. Kassie has been apart of the ARK family since 2021, and we truly wouldn't be where we are without her. Her love and passion for the animals is evident to everyone who meets her.

When she is not at the rescue she is an amazing mama to 4 beautiful boys, 2 doggs, and 2 cats!
