Overview

Mission

Bark party charities rescues animals from high-kill shelters, places them into foster care, and finds them fur-ever homes. The organization strives to change the negative perception of shelter pets. The only thing wrong with these loving animals is that they don't have a person or family to give them a home! Many times, human seniors and pet seniors are a perfect match. Stray or abandoned senior pets need a loving environment to retire in, and are often overlooked in the shelters. Human seniors may want a pet, but need a little extra support with vet bills or grooming to make it work. Bark party charities provide that support to qualified seniors.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rescuing pets from high-risk animal shelters and placing them in foster care while finding them forever homes.
