We can’t save the lives of animals in need without our supportive and loving fosters. These special people provide an invaluable, lifesaving gift for homeless cats, dogs and small companion animals. Fosters open their homes to care for sick and injured pets, animals having trouble adjusting to shelter life, pets who need work on their socialization skills, or those who simply need time to grow before being ready for adoption. Fostering saves the life of two animals: the one you welcome into your home and the life of the animal whose place it takes at our shelter. The more animals BARCS can take in, the more lives we can save. Fostering Requirements Your role is to welcome a pet (or pets) into your home and provide food, water, toys and lots of love. You must be 18 or older to foster. As a foster parent for BARCS, your responsibilities include: Monitoring your foster’s physical and mental wellbeing. Transporting to and from veterinary appointments and adoption events, as appropriate. Marketing your foster pet for adoption (if applicable).

While we know a shelter can never compare to home, our in-kennel enrichment volunteers make our dogs' stay at BARCS a little more enjoyable. By preparing and distributing tasty treats and toys, you can help stimulate their minds and keep them busy and happy. Some examples of treats that we make for our canine buddies include frozen peanut butter kongs, frozen puzzle feeders, frozen ice buckets, pupcakes, dog donuts, snuffle mats, and more! We try to give a treat to every dog every afternoon - since BARCS usually has around 100 dogs in residence at any time, we're always making more enrichment treats! Help this important program by creating and prepare treats in the morning or late afternoon, and/or being every dog's BFF by giving out treats and toys around 2 p.m. on weeks days and around noon on weekends. Volunteers are the heart of BARCS. Without their time, talents and resources, we would not be able to save the lives of over 10,000 animals each year. Whether you have a free day on the weekend or an occasional hour after work, there is a place for you at BARCS. Join us today to help change an animal’s life forever. With your commitment and assistance, we will work together to make the organization successful in promoting animal welfare, providing lifesaving resources to our community, and giving shelter animals some much-needed love and attention.

Our monthly vaccine clinic is held on the first Saturday of each month from 7 am to 2 pm. We are searching for a few rockstar volunteers who want to help focus on registering pets upon arrival at the clinic. The registration team members are the first volunteers that our pet owners encounter, so we really appreciate everyone helping start the day off with a smile, and clear, accurate recording of information is so helpful for our veterinarians. Bilingual volunteers are also a huge help!
