Areas Barkin Rescue serves
Barkin Rescue operates mostly out of Glencoe Ontario, but we have several volunteers in London and surrounding area as well. Glencoe is about 40 minutes West of London. We are not an open to the public facility, we do not operate a kennel environment where we keep all our dogs in one location. Each dog on our site is in a private foster home, unless otherwise specified. We invite approved applicants only to come visit the dog they are most interested in. WE ARE NOT A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE RESCUE.

About Barkin Rescue
Barkin Rescue pulls dogs from rural shelters. WE ARE NOT A GROUP THAT ACCEPTS OWNER SURRENDERS. We place each dog in private foster homes where they will stay until the forever home is found. Barkin Rescue is located in rural, Southwestern Ontario. We are NOT a shelter facility and do not keep dogs in a kennel situation, we are not an open to the public operation. Our rescued dogs are mostly rural dogs, often unsocialized and treated quite poorly, not walked on leashes or cuddled, not taught about proper manners or even housetrained. Our dogs were previously outside only dogs or chained dogs, making them a higher risk for many common canine ailments. We are striving to change the way rural dog owners view their pets, we are trying to help folks understand the benefits of owning a dog as a household pet only. It is important we get our message out about having pets spayed or neutered as well. When they come into our care, we work hard with the dogs so they learn to trust again and feel confident again. Barkin has all adult dogs over six months of age, altered, vaccinated, dewormed(where warranted) and as of June 9th/2006, all adult dogs will be heartworm tested. We also treat for fleas and ticks. Barkin also makes sure any other obvious ailment afflicting a dog is treated. We thank ELGIN ANIMAL HOSPITAL for their part in aiding us reach our goal of helping as many dogs as we can. As of recent and when warranted, we have a dog's behaviour assessed by a trained professional to offer techniques most effective and ideas for what kind of home will suit the dog best. We thank K-9 Concepts for their help in this area. We do not operate as a registered charity, but however are a not for profit group. We operate solely on adoption fees alone and some generous donations from animal loving supporters. It's very important for folks to understand we DO NOT adopt our dogs as outside dogs only. Your house is their house...NO EXCEPTIONS. These dogs have been through enough...this is their second chance at a better life, they deserve to be the household pet only, loved and cherished for the rest of their lives. We stand very strong in our belief and no amount of lecturing or debating will change our views...thank you for understanding our position on this.

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.
