Houston BARC Foundation

Houston BARC Foundation The Foundation strives to improve the quality of life and survival rate of all homeless animals in Houston. Barrett, Janet R.

The mission of the Houston BARC Foundation is to improve the quality of life for all animals in Houston, especially those under the care of the City of Houston’s BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions. Organized by private citizens and with the support of
Mayor Parker and The Houston City Council, the
BARC Foundation was created as a non-profit,
501(c)(3) fundraising organization. In a major effort to

prevent animals from becoming homeless and arriving at BARC, the Foundation’s goal is to raise money to directly support BARC’s life saving and homeless animal prevention programs, and to make spay and neuter assistance programs more widely accessible to Houston residents. The BARC 's 2010 Founding Board of Directors - eight of Houston’s philanthropic leaders are;
Linda F. Dietrich, Danielle Ellis, Sidney Faust, Tena Lundquist Faust,
Tama J. Lundquist, Michelle Mantor and Sue Powell... all of whom share a deep love for animals.

Where Are They Now? Rescue Edition:

Mavis came to BARC as a sweet pup who had been abandoned, suffering from severe demodex mange covering her face and body. In pain and in need of serious medical care, her future was uncertain.

But that is not where her story ends.

In September 2025, Mavis was rescued by Forgotten Coast Animal Rescue, one of more than 150 rescue partners that work alongside BARC to give animals like Mavis a second chance. Through their dedicated foster-based care, Mavis received the time, treatment, and love she needed to heal. Today, Mavis is completely healed and living her best life with an amazing family in Massachusetts. 💜

Mavis’s transformation is only possible because of strong rescue partnerships and the generosity of donors who make lifesaving transfers possible. A heartfelt thank you to Forgotten Coast Animal Rescue and our supporters for giving Mavis the chance she deserved!
