BARKS is funded solely by private, individual donations, adoption fees, fundraisers, and income from semi-annual garage sales held in April and October. BARKS has been helping homeless, injured, abandoned and abused animals since 1973, and needs your support to continue our work helping animals. We maintain adoptable cats and dogs at the Byram Pound, and cats at the Newton PetSmart. By donating just an hour or two a week, you can provide crucial support needed to keep our animals clean, happy and ready to be adopted into forever homes.
