B.A.R.K. (Being Advocates for Rescued K-9's) is volunteer based canine rescue group founded in April of 2009.  B.A.R.K. is made up of people who have a combined 40 years of experience working with all types of rescued animals.

Being an Advocate for Rescued K-9's means...

...we believe that saving even one life at a time will make a difference.

...we improve the quality of life for the dogs once rescued by providing safe, loving, and knowledgeable foster homes.

...we are willing to learn, and try new things, to aid an animal in need. 

...we believe that supportive relationships with shelters, other rescue groups, and new adoptive families are a priority for the well being of all dogs. 

...we take pride in taking the time to work with each dog's unique personalities and behaviors to ensure that their next home is the "forever home".  

Please contact us if you have interest in volunteering with B.A.R.K., becoming a foster family, or adopting a new friend!

What We Do

We rescue, care for, and rehome dogs in need. Many of our dogs come from overcrowded shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized due to lack of space. Some of them come from unprepared owners that didn't understand the commitment involved in having a pet. All of our dogs live in foster homes until adoption.

After locating and rescuing a dog, they receive quality veterinary care such as vaccinations, de-worming, and a spay/neuter, as well as treatment for any other medical issues that are found.

Adoption fees do not cover the care and maintenance that goes into each animal, but they certainly help offset some of the cost. We rely on donations from the public to help us continue to rescue. These donations can be monetary, food, leashes, toys, Frontline or medicine, and much more. New or used, we accept it all and put it to good use! 

We are a 501(c)3 which means all donations are tax deductible and you will be issued a receipt upon request. 

We need your help and support.  Please contact us if you wish to donate or volunteer! 

E-mail barkmn@gmail.com or call 651-554-9284 to arrange for pick up of donations.

B.A.R.K.'s

"Sweet Valentine"

Dibs

Dibs is about 9 months old and is a foster home favorite! He's a happy, social, loving boy who may be a mix of some sort of hound (big soft ears and long tail) and Rottweiler (a Rottie coat/colors and a nice big head!).

Dibs loves all people and gets along well with other dogs and kids. He would really enjoy a new forever home that has both of those!

Dibs and his littermate Morgan were originally turned into animal control by his previous owner. Animal control had them scheduled to be put down until 2 more foster homes came on board with B.A.R.K. and agreed to take the boys in! They are both doing wonderfully with their training and socialization. When you meet them, you can tell how grateful they are to be back in a home! 

Are you the next forever home for Dibs? Just let us know!
