A sponsored animal is destined to stay in our care permanently, either in the shelter itself, or in a private foster home. The reason will be related to either age, health or behavioural issues. Sponsored animals are in long-term foster care and are not available for adoption.
To sponsor an animal with Barks please visit our website www.barks.org.uk and complete the form, or email us at barks2010@hotmail.co.uk
We welcome regular payments but are also very happy to take one-off payments towards sponsored animal costs.
Over the coming days you will see reminders of the animals in our care for whom we would like to add new sponsors.
By becoming a sponsor, you enable us to reach out to more animals who need our help.
