Areas BARK serves

Baby Animal Rescue Koalition, has been operating for over a decade in Tucson, AZ. BARK focuses primary on canines from Pima Animal Care Center.

All of our puppies and dogs are altered (spayed/neutered),vaccinated, microchipped, rabies if over 4 months old, and fostered in our homes until wonderful people in the community step forward to make their fosters into forevers!

Please be aware that without knowing family trees and oftentimes not knowing either parent dog, all breed descriptions are speculation from staff of BARK and PACC.

BARK intends for each of our adoptions to be the beginning of a lifelong relationship. We ask for only the attention of responsible, committed, mature individuals.

First, we'll need you to show up at our Petco adoption site each Saturday from 11:00am until 5:00pm, right across from the Tucson Mall.

All potential adopters must complete an application which asks for general household information.

At this time BARK can only accept cash as method of payment. The adoption fees are as follows:

Puppies - $100.00
Adolescent/Adult Dogs - medium to large breeds - $50.00; cost of rabies vaccine included

About BARK

BARK is a Non-Profit, No Kill, All Volunteer Animal Rescue Organization whose purpose is to address the problem of over population of companion animals in Pima County in two ways: *Provide foster home care and adoption services primarily for pregnant and nursing mothers and young animals. *Promote education and provide low cost spay/neuter subsidy to the public to prevent the birth of so many unwanted pets.

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers and foster families helping find dogs and cats forever homes in the Tucson community. All of our animals are housed in foster homes with other animals, so we've had a chance to see them in a "family" environment and interacting with other animals.

BARK is focused mainly on young rescues. Community animal control facilities often do not have the resources to take care of pregnant animals or mothers with young puppies or kittens. For this reason, they are euthanized. We take these pregnant mothers and young animals into foster homes and provide the care they need until they are old enough for adoption into their forever homes.

We are always looking for new VOLUNTEERS to help at our adoption site. We are also looking for foster homes. If you can help in either of these areas, please stop by our PETCO adoption site on Saturday and we can answer any questions you have and give you an application form. We provide training for all foster families and adoption counselors/teen volunteers. Thank you in advance.

BARK's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Tucson, AZ.

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.
