Many animals
are born on the streets, where basic survival is a
struggle. Others live their lives in commercial breeding
facilities, and never know a blanket, a kind touch, or a
day without pain. Some animals are dumped, simply
because they are no longer wanted. All animals deserve
love and a good home.
BARK doesn't have
an actual shelter. We are a group of foster homes
that take the animals in and socialize, love and care
for the animals until the are able to find their forever
homes. All of the animals we have available for
adoption are up on our available animals page.
