“We hope Houstonians are able to visit us and find a new four-legged friend at BARC this weekend!” said Jennifer Barrera Wandrey, outreach manager at BARC.
The simplest, but most powerful thing Houstonians can do to help BARC and pets throughout the community is to foster, volunteer, donate and adopt. If you are unable to permanently adopt a pet but would like to help animals in need, BARC encourages you to consider becoming a volunteer or a foster pet parent at BARC. By getting these animals out of BARC and into foster homes, BARC has more space for additional animals as they enter the shelter.
If you don’t want to adopt because you’re worried that you don’t know how to look after a dog then don’t worry because BARC teaches you everything you need to know if you’ve never had a dog before. From the basics to more exact things like what food to use – after all, there are a lot of dog food brands out there so you’ll have to find the best one for your new dog. You can informational material by just making an inquiry about adopting a dog so be sure to visit BARC.
