BARC CT thrives on the unwavering dedication of volunteers like you. If your heart beats for animals, if you believe in second chances, we invite you to become a vital part of our team.

Your Impact: Roles That Make a Difference

Open Your Home, Open Their Future: Foster

• Open your home to provide temporary sanctuary for a rescued dog, offering them the love and stability they desperately need. Each foster home is a bridge to a forever family, and the more bridges we build, the more lives we save. We provide comprehensive support, covering all medical needs, food, and other essential supplies. Click here for more information on fostering.

Be the Wings of Rescue: Transport

• Become the vital link between rescue and healing. Transport animals to foster homes, veterinary appointments, boarding facilities, and their cherished forever homes. Your reliable support ensures they reach their destinations safely.
• Transport is needed throughout Connecticut.

Fuel the Mission: Fundraising & Events

• Ignite community support through fundraising initiatives and event organization. Whether it’s a school drive, workplace campaign, or a creative event, your efforts will directly fund essential care for animals in need. Let your passion translate into action.
• Let us know your fundraising ideas and how we can make it happen!

Capture Their Story: Photography

• In the crowded digital landscape of pet adoption, a compelling photograph can make all the difference. Your photography skills can showcase the unique beauty and personality of our rescues, helping them find their forever families.
