Ho Ho Hope For BARC Animals!

This holiday season, we are doing something really exciting for our pets: we are raising funds to purchase our very own mobile adoption trailer so we can save more lives through adoptions each year.

BARC is the City of Houston's Animal Shelter and Adoption facility. We are required to take in every single dog that comes to us, regardless of age, temperament, behavior or breed. More than 25,000 animals come into our care every single year (both stray and owned animals). Sometimes, we take in up to 150 in a single day. Please visit  www.HoustonBARC.com to learn more about who we are and what we do. We can't turn away any dog or cat that comes into our shelter, but we CAN make sure we are doing everything possible to get them into forever homes.

We have an amazing outreach program that includes adoptions, foster homes, rescues and more. Our adoptions program is very successful. We adopt out thousands of animals every year through our in-house adoption program. Now we're ready to take a huge leap and purchase an adoption trailer so that we can take animals to different areas of Houston every week. That could save thousands more animals every single year! That's our hope, but we need your help. Please donate today to help BARC save more lives in a new and exciting way!

With an adoption trailer, we can provide Houstonians more access to our adorable adoptables by taking them into the public on a regular basis! This is something that we thought was only a pipe dream not too long ago. Now, we're ready to take the leap to do something huge for our animals!

You may be asking yourself, what is a mobile adoption trailer? It's basically a gooseneck trailer that we will hook up to our giant dually truck as often as we would like to. The trailer is completeley decked out with everything we need to hold a successful adoption event in a moment's notice. You can see photos of what the trailer will look like in our YouTube video: http://youtu.be/16f9bCprOQM.
