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.

Oh Apache! This boy’s tail never stops spinning once he gets to know you! Apache is the sweetest dog I've ever met. He takes some time to warm up but once he does, you'll be hiding under the blankets to get away from constant kisses. He warms up to women faster than men but loves both equally in time. Apache adores playing with my pit bull and would benefit from having another dog to play with and learn from as he was brought in off the streets, he sometimes doesn't have the best manners. He is extremely submissive meaning he is generally good with all dogs. Apache doesn't have an ounce of aggression in him. We are not sure how he is with cats or kids, but he is still learning not to jump so may not be best suited with toddlers. He is decent on car rides but does seem a little anxious during. He is also quite good on a leash; he looks back at your often to make sure you're there. He is good in his crate and doesn't rip anything up, but he has a bit of separation anxiety and gets into things he shouldn't when left alone not in the crate. He is a high energy dog and would really do good somewhere with space to run zoomies whenever he wants. Overall, he is an absolute angel and he will make his new owners the happiest they can be.
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.
