first no-kill shelter, ensuring that no adoptable homeless pet
will be killed for lack of space.
This project will make a permanent impact in

treatable companion animals and to ensure their humane
treatment by creating a community pet adoption and
education center; rescuing, fostering, and placing homeless
animals; encouraging spay/neuter; bringing animals and
people together to enrich each others' lives; and
promoting the concept that every companion animal
deserves respect, as well as a loving home

I founded B.A.R.K. in 1991 while I was between careers
and doing volunteer work with Corgi Rescue.
Most of my time was spent in one of the large
LA County animal shelters, not a pleasant or hopeful place.
After a very short time I realized the
dire situation of the pet population in Los Angeles.
That was when I formed B.A.R.K., became a non-profit,
and really started rescuing big time!
The city and county of Los Angeles each have five
overflowing shelters, full of abandoned and unwanted cats
and dogs....animals who used to be someone's pets.
Most are sweet, and sadly, most are euthanized.
Our mission is to offer sanctuary, healing, and
placement into a new family, to distressed,
abandoned, injured, or homeless Basset Hounds

we possibly can and strive to constantly grow

provide as many options as we can for

those who need a little more time to get their
health back or may have behavioral problems
requiring advanced training before
going to a new home.
Since DAWG's inception in 1991, we have
worked hard to bring out the best in our dogs

volunteers provide a safe and loving environment
for our dogs awaiting permanent adoption and
promote adoption through outreach programs.

in the county's shelter by providing the medical
care and training many dogs need
for a second chance at life.
The Dog Rescue Network is a grassroots
organization of one person. Located
approximately 2 hours north of Santa Barbara,

ordinary person who volunteers my time, home,

appropriate, loving, permanent home can be found
for them. I work as an independent rescuer, and
in conjunction with other rescue groups,
individuals, and county facilities. I receive no
funding except for adoption fees. The following
story is the reason I do this. It is an example of
what these animals will give to us. We just need

In 1952, a small group of Redding people realized that
the humane care of lost, homeless and abused animals
would never come to pass if left solely to the public
resources of city and county agencies.
Competition for public tax dollars and only limited
appreciation for the principle of humane animal care at
the time forced any possible improvement in the
situation to the very bottom
of the local government priority list.
Even today, some 50 years later, vital animal shelter
work is seldom adequately funded through tax revenues.
Through careful planning and day-to-day hard work
Haven Humane Society has earned community respect

We are a group of professionals in Los Angeles who
take small dogs who cannot be cared for
in the shelter and overlooked by most
rescue associations and adopters,
due to the high cost of medical care or
training/modification these "special needs" dogs
would require to make them a candidate for adoption.
Some are simply older; some have behavior issues.  
Many need surgeries or extensive
medical care and rehabilitation.
Some will require life long care of some form.
Ultimately, without a helping hand, these
Special Needs dogs will end up being euthanized.

Our philosophy is simple...
for some dogs,it takes a village.
From rescue through care, rehabilitation,
training, fostering and finally re-homing,
our group pools its efforts and resources
to provide exemplary care and attention
to each 'special needs' rescue.
