About
We give dogs the most important ride of their life. Founded in 2012, our volunteer-based charity has transported close to 2,500 dogs across North America and internationally that are at the threat of being euthanized. Working in partnership with shelters, we identify and transport dogs on buses, cars and planes to pre-qualified homes in Alberta and the Eastern Region of B.C. When our dogs have adjusted from their journey and settled into their foster homes, they are either adopted by the foster or become available for adoption.
We are addressing an international crisis about shelter over-populations, owner dog surrenders and discriminatory breed specific legislation. We believe that every dog deserves a new leash on life.
We consistently seek fosters, funds, partners and volunteers.

Our Vision
Our vision is of a world where all pets are well cared for in loving homes for life & away from the threat of Breed Specific Legislation - because of how they look.
We aim to achieve this vision by:
Promoting good animal welfare and responsible pet ownership by providing support, guidance and education to members of the public.
Working with many organizations to help animals, whoever and wherever the need is.
Providing the best possible care for all animals.
Setting standards of animal welfare in Canada, the USA and beyond.
Our Values
We strive to end the suffering of companion animals everywhere.
We aim to find the right home for every animal in our care and will not quit until every animal is placed.
We endeavour to support anyone who needs help in caring for their pets. Life happens and we understand.
We believe the emotional and physical well-being of every animal we look after is paramount and is our first consideration.
We value our volunteers, supporters, and our partners. We know without you, there would be no "us".
We pride ourselves on being open, honest, and dedicated in every aspect of our work.

About Willow
Distance: 1,307 Miles
Female, 1 year, Siberian husky X, 35 lbs
Willow has been a very sweet girl. She is a little anxious to new environments but adjusts with patience and love. She loves cuddles and has a great personality.
She has not been with cats in our home, but, even though she enjoys other dogs, resource guarding has been an issue, and we recommend Willow be adopted as an only dog and showered with all the love and affection she needs.
She is a jumper, and has been receptive to training, but gets very excited, so she would do well with older kids.
She does bark at other dogs walking on the street and sometimes in her crate, but for the most part, she is looking for attention and activity. She would do well in a home where she can be walked frequently and showered with love.
She was great on short car rides (up to 30 mins) and has had a few housetraining accidents, but with additional training, we think she will have that figured in no time!
She has improved on the leash so much in a short time, and with a little more training, she should have no issues with leash manners.
This beautiful girl deserves a committed and loving forever home.
Our rescue is called BARCS. We are a registered Charity.
Our Website is www.barcsrescue.com. All our animals are posted on the website and updated often. If you would like to proceed we need an adoption application to be filled out. They can be found on our website. Once we receive your application, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with the pup you are interested in.
We look forward to hearing from you.
