I don’t know about you, but I frequently feel the need to escape from the world. The news is full of troublesome politics and wars.

Noah runs the Ark, a no-kill shelter that treats and re-homes rescue animals, as well as providing important veterinary services to the Bay of Islands. It’s situated high on a hill overlooking the bay, somewhere like this:
