Need to surrender your dog?

  A New Beginning

Foster dogs can't have a new beginning, but with your help they can get the help that they need to have a new ending. BARC has helped over 250 dog find new homes! We need your help to continue to do so. If you have the desire to help, a soft spot for a dog to sleep and a hand and heart to show a discarded dog some much needed love, please contact us. Fostering a dog is truly saving a life.
