BARC Animal Shelter

Friday, February 4, 2022

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

The City of Houston BARC Animal Shelter has a mission to promote and protect public health and animal care through sheltering, pet placement programs, pet ownership education, and animal law enforcement. BARC accepts all animals and expands the foster program to outside the city.

Volunteers will be working with animals at the shelter and assisting the shelter’s needs. This may include; taking dogs out of their kennels to the outside play area to walk and play with them, cleaning areas, or socializing dogs. This allows the shelter dogs to exercise and socialize outside, making their personalities come out to increase their chances of adoption/ rescue.

*Volunteers must be comfortable handling animals.

For questions, please contact Brooke Golla.

All volunteers will meet and depart at the Student Center at 9:15 am.
