B.a.r.k.

About

I founded B.A.R.K. in 1991 while I was between careers and doing volunteer work with Corgi Rescue. Most of my time was spent in one of the large LA County animal shelters, not a pleasant or hopeful place. I groomed, rescued, and fostered dogs from that shelter for most of that year. After a very short time I realized the dire situation of the pet population in Los Angeles. That was when I formed B.A.R.K., became a non-profit, and really started rescuing big time! The city and county of Los Angeles each have five overflowing shelters, full of abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs....animals who used to be someone's pets. Most are sweet, and sadly, most are euthanized. Many rescues have been organized since 1991 and I have met many new people. We always ask the same thing: Why does the situation never seem to get better? The answer is that life is better for all the animals we save! Won't you help save another?
