Here is some history about Nina. She has served in Madison County, Alabama in the field of animal welfare, care and control for more than 20 years. She was one of the early organizers of the Greater Huntsville Humane Society. She served as the organizations President and as a Cruelty Investigator for 7 years. Nina was one of the individuals that worked hard to persuade the City of Huntsville to bu

ild their new state of the art animal control facility that is located on Triana Boulevard. Nina started the first humane education program at Animal Control and from 1985 to 1998 would serve in the position of the departments Humane Educator. Over a period of 13 years she would teach over 25,000 school children responsible pet ownership. She has worked with Senator’s, Representative’s and other members of the Alabama Legislative body to improve and develop new laws to protect animals. In 1990, with the help of Huntsville Attorney Herman “Buck” Watson, Nina incorporated the Ark for the purpose of shelter rescue. However, because of other animal-human related needs in the community, through the Ark, she has an Agreement of Understanding with the local chapter of the American Red Cross to put in place a DART (Disaster Animal Relief Team) to rescue animals that are victims of natural disaster. The Ark also has an agreement with Hope Place to (a refuge for victims of domestic violence) to care for and protect the pets of women seeking refuge at Hope Place. The Ark has a wonderful staff of volunteers that are dedicated and dependable. The dedication of Nina and the Ark volunteers has developed an excellent rapport between the Ark and the media, veterinarians and other professionals in the community. Through dedication, hard work, integrity and honesty, the Ark has programs of assistance that were never available before its incorporation. Presently, Nina Beal serves as the organizations Director and manages the daily operations of the Ark. The Ark performs onsite adoptions ONLY. We do not perform adoptions at fundraising events.
