Cans for a Cause
Recycle Your Metal & Aluminum
Bring your metal and cans to the shelter. If we are closed, you can place the items on our flatbed trailer in the back of the shelter or next to the fence. The money raised goes to our Medical Fund!
Your cans CAN save lives!

Help Dogs Heal from Heartworms
Many dogs, like Lacy, come to us positive for heartworms. This is a condition that must be treated and often keeps a dog from getting into a loving home right away. Your support helps us cover the cost of this critically important treatment.
Found a Stray?
Share on Social Media
Post of Facebook on the Lost & Found Pages like Lost & Found Pets of Palestine and Lost and Found Pets of Anderson County. Also, post of Friends of BARC and your personal page. We will share your post if you message us. This is the most effective way to get the word out.
Check for a Microchip
Any local vet will be able to scan for a microchip. If the pet is chipped, they can contact the owner.
Check Back Often
Our inventory can change daily, with adoptions, rescue transports or owner recoveries. Please check back regularly,
every day 12pm - 5pm.
Ask Your Neighbors
Look for any nearby homes where you found the pet. Ask the homeowners if they recognize the dog or cat. Post signs in the neighborhood with your contact information.
Why is the Shelter Often Full?
Since we do not euthanize healthy animals to create space in our shelter, we reach full capacity often. We are diligently working to host more adoption events, send dogs to rescues up north, promote adoptable pets online and soon by providing no cost Spay & Neuter to those in need in Anderson County.
