Additional adoption info

We have a very rigid screening process, adopters sign a contract agreeing to take care of the dog as we would and to contact us if they cannot keep the dog for any reason.

About B.A.R.K.

Established in September 2001,The Bytown Association for Rescued Kanines (B.A.R.K.) is an all breed "no kill" rescue organization.We are a registered charity comprised solely of dedicated and experienced volunteers.

The primary focus of our organization is...

~ the rescue and rehabilitation of abused or abandoned dogs in the Ottawa area;

~ to provide a support system for families to try to keep dogs in their original homes;

~ to find new homes, on a limited basis and as space permits, for unwanted dogs;

~ to educate children and adults on how to choose and care for a pet, how to behave around an unknown dog, and what to do if a dog chases you.

We uphold a "no kill" policy for all animals that come under our care, so we keep animals in their foster homes until they can find their forever home

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
