On Sunday, December 14, 2025 we held our Noelle's Ark Annual Benefit 2025 at the wonderful Fox Hollow in Woodbury, NY.
Yes, it was right after a heavy snowfall but we made it through and we provide an extra thanks to the supporters who fought the weather to attend! We also thank Fox Hollow for their great attitude and for making us feel like the snowstorm was not a big deal.
This year we were lucky enought to honor Dr Jason Heller of the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association, with the Noelle's Ark Altruist Award for his wonderful and tireless work helping after the devastating fire at the Happy Cat Sanctuary in Medford, Long Island earlier this year.
Our program also included founder Dr. Noelle La Croix providing an overview of the 29 animals Noelle's Ark saved this year including Angelo, a 16-year-old Pomeranian with a painful ruptured eye. One of Angelo's owners was kind enough to come up
to the podium and tell everyone Angelo's story.

On Thursday November 6th, 2025, Noelle’s Ark was honored with a Nassau County SPCA Humane Hero award for its work and that of organization founder, Dr. Noelle La Croix. We are very proud to have received this honor from such a wonderful organization that shares the common purpose of animal welfare.
This a great opportunity to post the Noelle’s Ark mission state here: “Whenever possible, a companion animal should not be euthanized or go without care because of financial need.”
