http://www.barcshelter.org/ As of March 29, 2023, Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition (also known as BARC Shelter) is no longer active and can no longer accept donations. The deaths of both founders/owners forced the cessation of all operations. Mission Statement: The Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition, referred to as the BARC Shelter, was founded in 1987 to help homeless and unwanted animals until they can be adopted. As a private, no-kill shelter, BARC will keep the animal for as long as it takes for them to find a good home. All animals are spayed and neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going to their new homes.The BARC Shelter has also responded to the desperate need for low-cost spay and neuter surgeries as well as vet care in our community.
