Ever since the opening of the Pet Oasis and AirHeart Pet Hospital this past January, The ARK at JFK, a 178,000-square-foot luxury airport hotel has welcomed creatures great and small. Some 550+ canine friends including dachshunds, French and English bulldogs, American bulldogs, Chihuahuas, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labradoodle, Poodles, Yorkies, Huskies, beagles, Boston terriers, Saint Bernard, miniature Great Danes, collies, and more, have made stays here.

The ARK is partnered with the SPCA’s Operation Baghdad Pups Worldwide program. For members of the U.S. military stationed on bases all over the world who befriend local animals during deployments (and become their companions), Operation Baghdad Pups rescues and reunites these patriot pets with our service members in the U.S. To date, they have rescued over 650 animals from multiple countries in the Middle East, Central Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
The ARK at JFK is located at New York's JFK Airport, holding down 14.4 acres. It will be opening up in three phases in 2017. As part of Phase 1, The ARK Pet Oasis and Equine Export Center opened January 2, 2017 and has welcomed horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, mice, goats, and many other animals. Phase 2 includes the Equine Import Quarantine and The ARK Aviary, which is complete and awaiting approval of the USDA. Phase 3 services will include a long-term pet boarding facility in late 2017. Approved by the Board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), The ARK was constructed by ARK Development, LLC and is a $65 million state-of-the-art facility.
