The Benevolent Animal Rescue Committee's mission is to control the dog and cat population and find the best new home possible for abandoned pets.

Our rescued dogs and cats include strays, pets turned over to us by their owners, and some that we rescue from city and county shelters. We alter every dog and cat BEFORE they can be adopted. We keep every animal until successfully placed. We take back our adopted pets for their entire life! We have a few volunteers and foster homes that help us reach our goals daily, HOWEVER WE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE!

Although we are a small group, we rescue, alter, and find loving homes for about 1,000 dogs and cats each year. Some of our donations help limited income pet owners cover the cost of spay or neuter procedures on their family pets.

BARC was founded in 1992. We are a 501(c)3 corporation.

All donations, adoption fees, donated items, etc. are tax deductible.

Potential adopters can also make an appointment at the kennel to view adoptable pets.

We merged with Bear Mountain Dog Rescue in January 2006. Our parent company is The OakTree Foundation.
