Foster
Every year, BARC takes in an average of 20,000 animals — yet the shelter’s capacity is less than 500 pets. Foster families bridge that gap.
From newborn kittens to senior dogs, many animals need special care that only a foster can provide. Whether short-term or long-term, every foster makes a difference.
