Very nice facility. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. I foster with Barcs and it’s an easy process. The dogs seem very well cared for, the place is clean and nice. The dogs get regular walks, always with water, bed and toys. Other animals taken good care of as well. It’s never easy for an animal to be held in an environment like that but the staff make it a lot better for them. Every animal deserves happiness!

The facility is clean and all the employees are friendly and easy to work with. I have volunteered for Dogs Day Out and fostered a cat. Both experiences went well. The parking lot isn’t very big and sometimes it can get very busy.

Visited this facility hoping to adopt a dog I saw online. I was hopeful, as I know the process of searching for dogs (small dogs especially) can be stressful. I saw the dog on BARCS website the night prior to my visit, realizing I was off the following day, I decided to take a trip. My plan to arrive early was success, as I arrived 10 minutes before opening. At 2pm, I walk in with several others. I was greeted, and asked if there was a particular dog that I was interested in. I named the dog (Tony Stark) and was immediately told he was no longer available due to being placed in a home—again, the dog arrived to the facility on 8/10, the day before. I decided to cut my loss and look around. They had several dogs, few had ‘I’m adopted’ signs, others had behavior signs, others said ‘I’m availa
