UPDATE: In the 5 years we've been raising funds to help dogs in need, we've always met our goal - until now. We didn't make our goal for Harry. We still need $200 to come close. BARK is a small local nonprofit. We don't keep extra money in our account - for each dog, we raise what is needed and pay the vet directly. We know times are tight for everyone and appreciate those who have already donated, but for Harry's sake we need to ask - if you can donate, please do. Whatever you can. Small amounts add up. We are committed to helping Harry and his mom, but to do that we need YOUR help. Thank you for whatever you can give.

Harry needs our help. His mom describes him as her “angel” who has been there with her through loss of loved ones and grief. He is her constant companion. Lately he has been getting into some trouble and the vet has recommended he be neutered. His mom has a limited income and needs our help to get him up to date on his shots and neutered. Our goal is $425. Can you help? BARK is a small local 501(c)3 nonprofit in Columbia County which raises funds to help keep dogs in their homes. We always pay the vet directly. Please donate if you can and share so we can keep Harry there for his mom.

UPDATE: BELLA, WE ARE ALMOST THERE! Times are tough and it's taken us a week to get this far, but we're almost there and we will make it! If you are able to donate even a small amount to help us reach our goal, please do. Thanks to all who have donated to get us this far... we're not giving up!

UPDATE: Unfortunately we are only half-way to our goal. It is hard for anyone to care for a dog in heat, but much harder for an older person. We need to prevent further heats or pregnancies. These two are so bonded. If you can give anything to get us closer to our goal, please do. Every donation helps

We thought we were taking a break from fundraising but we have one final request. Bella in Rainier needs a spay badly. Her mom is very elderly and on a fixed income.

We are hoping to cover her surgery at $500 and then we promise to stop asking our amazing supporters for $!

Bark is a tiny 501c3 nonprofit and we always pay the vet directly.

*Update* We reached our goal and Mazzie’s surgery is scheduled! Thank you to our generous supporters! 💜 We will provide updates post-surgery.

Mazzie doesn’t know she’s sick and her elderly Rainier dad is scared. Her mammary tumor is growing fast and we need to help before it’s too late. The surgery will cost approximately $550.

OMG THANK YOU! Our goal was met and more! All funds raised beyond what is needed for these sweeties will be used to help the next dog in line needing BARK's assistance. Thank you so much!

Archie & Veronica are the cherished companions of an elderly woman in Rainier living on a fixed income. We are trying to raise $500 to cover their spay and neuter. Can you help?

Your donation helps vulnerable pets and the people who love them. We also strive to keep dogs out of shelters by helping their people.

*Update* We did it! Poppy got neutered thanks to our supporters 💜

Rescued Poppy needs our help getting the snip! Poppy was neglected and left out in the cold, but was recently adopted by a loving family who convinced the owner to give her a better life. New mom needs a little help getting her spayed. Caring for animals sometimes takes a village - can you chip in a few dollars to help cover her $300 vet bill?
