Information, updates and success stories for current and potential BARC fosters.

What Does a Foster Do, Exactly?
• Fosters change lives. Fosters put in the time and effort the shelter sometimes just isn’t able to due to the numbers of animals we have here. Sometimes all a foster needs to do is provide some love and patience and a second chance to a shy dog; other times it’s waking up at three a.m. to bottle-feed some hungry kittens. There are many different options within fostering and many different levels of time and emotional commitment.
• With every kind of fostering, though, the goal is the same: to help every foster animal become adoptable and to find every foster animal a forever home.
• We can’t control the number of animals coming into BARC, but you can help us control the numbers that make it into loving homes. You can help us give these animals a chance.
