Yes, the BARC Shelter website is down. Not to worry, the powers that be are on it and all should be back up and running soon! If you need to contact BARC the old-fashioned way, call 718-486-7489 and to see most of the dogs and cats for adoption online go to Petfinder HERE.
Artist Katie Gastley is donating a generous portion of her proceeds from her show “Animalia” at the Pillow Cafe in Brooklyn. The show runs through May 4th, so stop by for a snack while you enjoy the delightful artwork!
UPDATE: Maple was adopted!
Maples is a pretty little chihuahua mix who came from the city shelter, the NYCACC. She’s a bit shy with strangers and may prefer women to men, but when Jose was doling out the treats she LOVED him! Maple is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and ready for a home. Contact BARC for more information: http://www.barcshelter.org, 718-486-7489.

If you’re with an animal rescue group, please bring your banner, and contact LOHV-NYC at 212-889-0303 if you’re interested in speaking at the event. Everyone else, bring pictures of your pets! The City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, carriage horse industry supporter, is rumored to oppose the bill, so we need hundreds of people to show up.
