Being Advocates for Rescued K-9's means...

...we believe that saving one life at a time makes a difference.

...we improve the quality of life for the rescued dogs by providing safe, loving, and knowledgeable foster homes. 

...we believe that supportive and proactive relationships with shelters, rescue groups, veterinarians, and adoptive families are a priority for all dogs. 

...we take pride in taking the time to work with each dog's unique personalities and behaviors to ensure that their next home is the "forever home".

Please contact us if you have interest in volunteering with B.A.R.K., becoming a foster family, or adopting a new friend!

 What We Do

We rescue, care for, and re-home dogs in need. The majority of our dogs come from overcrowded shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized. We are an all-breed rescue and will accept dogs of any breed into foster care as long as we have a willing and open home available!

After locating and rescuing a dog, they receive quality veterinary care such as vaccinations, de-worming, a spay/neuter, and parasite control, as well as treatment for any other medical issues that are found. Every animal is altered prior to final adoption.

Adoption fees do not cover the care and maintenance that goes into each animal, but they certainly help offset some of the cost. We rely on donations from the public to help us continue to rescue. These donations can be monetary, food, leashes, toys, Frontline, and much more. New or used, we accept it all and put it to good use! 

We are a 501(c)3 which means all donations are tax deductible and you will be issued a receipt upon request. 

B.A.R.K.'s Prison Dog Program

B.A.R.K. has partnered with the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Lino Lakes to develop a fantastic program! Some of the B.A.R.K. foster dogs are now living and being "fostered" at the prison with the inmates. Since 2013, our prison pups have been playing, training, and getting ready for adoption every day with their handlers. This program has made it possible for us to save even more dogs and they are getting the best care possible!

Sage"

18 months old

60 lbs

Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix

Sage is a young and bouncy Catahoula girl who loves other dogs and can live safely with most dog savvy cats. She's a dog park rockstar and loves her walks! She's deaf, which poses a unique communication opportunity with her new family, but she knows many "sign" commands and is eager to please -especially when food is involved! Sage is a true Catahoula. Loyal and protective to her family and things she deems important. She can startle easily due to her deafness so a family with confident kids over 12 (or so) would be ideal. A patient and loving family with the ability to boost Sage's confidence and keep up with her energy level will find themselves with the best companion ever!

Sage is up to date on all of her vaccinations. She has been spayed, de-wormed and is currently on monthly Frontline and Heartguard, as well. If you're interested in learning more about Sage, or another one of our other wonderful dogs: Visit our Dog Application page and we will contact you soon!
