My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dasher came to BARS in October 2024 from a property over populated with cats. He was three months old and not used to living inside. He was very scared of people and would hide wherever he could. It took him several months, but finally turned around and would allow people to pet him and pick him up. Dasher has come a long way since he was rescued and will even lay on his foster mom`s lap and ask for pets. Dasher actually prefers the company of dogs over people and is quite affectionate towards them. His foster home had two large dogs that he was quite fond of. There is just one now - he likes to lay on the dog bed, hoping Buddy will come lay beside him. Dasher is used to other cats in the house and is very curious anytime a new foster dog or cat is introduced into the home. He will take some time to adjust to a new home, but he is worth your patience and time. If you have a cat friendly dog that needs a friend, Dasher is your guy.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All adoptions begin with an adoption application, available here or on our website (or from one of our wonderful volunteers in person). The application is reviewed by the adoptable animal's foster home as well as by the appropriate coordinator (canine/feline) to assess how the animal will fit in your home. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, but being 100% run by volunteers sometimes we need additional time--if you haven't heard back after 72 hours, feel free to contact us to check in on your application.

Canine Adoption Fees:
$450 for puppies under 1 year of age
$375 for dogs over 1 year & under 7 years
$300 for dogs 7 years and older

Feline Adoption Fees:
$250 for kittens and cats up to 12 months old
$200 for cats between 1-6 years old
$150 for cats 6 years old and older

Adoption fees help offset the cost to our organization of providing full medical care (including spay or neuter surgery) to each animal we adopt to a furever home.
