Have a Heart, Donate a Bed

Help BARCS - Donate a Bed!

Tired of sending roses and chocolates to your sweetheart for Valentine's Day?  Why not give a gift that will bring comfort to a homeless pet for years!  By donating a Kuranda dog bed to a homeless dog, you will provide a dry, soft, comfortable place for them to sleep during their time at the shelter (see picture at left).  BARCS dogs are always in need of new beds!  Please help us by donating a bed in your name, or send one as a gift in the name of a friend or family member.  Kuranda will mail a personalized Gift Card acknowledgement directly to them from you.

 

If you would like to help these homeless animals sleep in comfort this winter, please donate a bed at our special wholesale price.  Contact Kuranda at 1-800-494-7122 or visit this page on their website. 

 

Please visit BARCS at 301 Stockholm St. to see over 300 animals or visit BARCS online to view some of our wonderful animals like these cuties and ways that you can donate to help them:

Adoptable Pet Spotlight!

BARCS is full of fantastic pets who have been waiting too long for a home!  Here are a couple that we are spotlighting this month!

Adopt Keeto!

Keeto (top left) has been at BARCS far too long. This beautiful male Husky is looking for his forever home. He is about 8 years old and already neutered so he can go home today! Will you be Keeto's new family?

 

Hokie (bottom left) is a very sweet boy who seems to like other cats. He came to BARCS as a stray and is estimated to be 8 years old. Although he is missing most of his teeth, he has gained his strength back and is now ready for adoption. Hokie is a senior cat who would be best with a family who could give him the extra love he needs.

 

If you are interested in adopting Keeto or Hokie, contact BARCS!

Adopt Hokie!
