🐾 RESERVE YOUR SPOT AHEAD OF TIME!
We strongly encourage everyone who plans to attend to reserve a spot in advance. This helps us plan for the event and helps make sure your pet can receive these free services.

We've added two links to our Linktree:
🐾 Check if your address qualifies
🐾 Reserve your spot
Each pet needs their own reservation, with a limit of 2 pets per household.

🚗 This is a drive-thru event. Dogs must be on a secure leash and cats must be in a secure carrier. Please remain in your vehicle unless instructed otherwise by staff.

Niko was a long stay dog before being placed on the euthanasia list and getting picked up by a foster. He has now been in the foster's home where they've learned so much about him.

He needs an adopter so he can have a forever home of his own. Reach out to BARC Animal Shelter and Adoptions if you are interested in adopting.
