The mission of the Houston BARC Foundation is to improve the quality of life for all animals in Houston, especially those under the care of the City of Houston’s BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions. Donations to the Houston BARC Foundation directly benefit animals sheltered at, or otherwise cared for by, BARC through purchases of medical, kennel, sanitary, and other supplies and equipment. The Houston BARC Foundation‘s efforts are also focused on raising public awareness among all Houstonians about homeless and at-risk animals throughout our community.
