Welcome to BARKS - where beautiful animals in different shapes and sizes are busy being rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed, thanks entirely to your support and generosity.
Donate nowOther ways to helpAdopt a furry friend








Along with donations and adoption fees, we rely on fundraising and practical support to help care for our cats, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters and mice who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in desperate need of a second chance
There are various ways you can donate to BARKS - cash, goods or gifts from our Amazon Wishlist.
If you prefer a more “hands-on” approach, consider becoming a part of our marvellous volunteer team.
Do you have space to give temporary shelter (and cuddles) to an animal while they wait for their new home?
We aim to show young volunteers just how their time can help transform the lives of our furry friends. Under-age youngsters must join with a family chaperone
Sadly, not all animals can be re-homed, but BARKS will never put a healthy animal to sleep. That’s why some animals become permanent residents at our BARKS care centres.
