Pam stopped us to let us know about another kitten who had just become available that day. We waited for the adoption room to become available and for the staff to bring him in. They told us he was super playful and sweet, but not much of a cuddler. As soon as we held him, he settled right in and just purred away! We knew right away he was the one! The staff were so kind in helping us find him and get the paperwork done. He's made himself at home and while he loves to cuddle, he super playful and frisky!

Our guy had been in the lonely hearts club since he had been at the shelter more than 6 months. That meant that his adoption fee was only $20! What a bargain for a dog that has been neutered, had his shots, a microchip & revolution flea & tick medication. If we had found a stray or been given a puppy we would have undoubtedly spent more than $500 on those things. Certainly the shelter is overwhelmed at the moment. The staff is doing the best that they can & most of the staff and volunteers are fostering one or more pets at home in addition to their good work at the shelter.

My wife is a vet tech with almost 20 years experience. I, can't have kids, so basically? We have four legged kids. Cahleigh, for the first time ever, was able to make our time out of town, completely relaxing. She came over to meet the kids about a week before we were going to leave, she spent about an hour getting the routines written down, she had an actual clipboard with a set of questions, that enabled her to make sure all needs were met. Her rates for overnight stays were completely reasonable, and honestly, with the amount of care given to our animals, she could justifiably charge much more. She sent updates, with pictures, several times a day, made sure we knew everything that had been going on from the moment we left town, to the moment she arrived at our place to take care of our family. She's nothing but professional, and even put our bed sheets in the washer, and washed out the dogs food and water bowls before leaving. She's absolutely magnificent with animals, and I know for a fact, we'll be asking her to come back again the next time we leave town.

They have over 300 cats at this clean no-kill facility, and it is set up in a way that makes it easy to quickly see how the cats respond to you. They had such a great selection, as opposed to the shelters we visited in DC, and the staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating. We knew the staff was really working hard to help find us a good match, and showed us good suggestions as we walked around. On the second visit we found a very sweet little girl cat named Colette and surprisingly, we were able to take her home the following day since our application had been approved from the first visit. Moving her into our home was as easy as pie-- we know that she is going to be as happy and sweet as was predicted by the staff of the SPCA. I highly recommend the Fredericksburg SPCA if you are looking for a new pet, or looking for a worthwhile charity to give money or supplies.

We weren't really looking to adopt, but then we saw Kelsey at the Cosner's Corner PetSmart and she was a miniature version after our Sugar who had recently passed away. Our daughter fell in love with her and the rest is history. We enjoyed working with B.A.R.K. so much that when Sugar's sister died a few years later we adopted another girls (Midnight) from B.A.R.K. with equally exceptional service. They are truly an excellent facility to work with and will go the extra mile to ensure all their animals are as healthy as they can be before they are allowed to be adopted out. Most of the time, the sick/injured animals are treated at their local clinic and are then fostered out until they are heathy and properly socialized!!

I missed having her around. A couple weeks later we went out to a rescues open house at a pet store to get my doggie fix. After the first one, we stumbled onto another one. This one was BARK's pet adoption day at a pet food store. I walked around the cages and saw this beautiful white German Shepherd laying in his crate in the regal way only a Shepherd can pull off. He looked at me with his soft, warm, brown eyes and I asked to see him. The volunteer got JoJo Shep out of his cage and the dog jumped up on me and showered me with kisses. So maybe he didn't have the best manners but he did have plenty of love. BARK had rescued him from a shelter who was going to put him down because of the horrible heath condition they found JoJo in when he arrived. Bob (who runs the place) did not accept that and took JoJo to the BARK vet and after a few weeks, the dog was off deaths door. As a testament to this care, over a year after adopting JoJo, we went back to let JoJo say good bye to Bob because we were moving to California. JoJo ran up to him and almost tackled him!! Even after all that time away, the dog still remembered the kindness shown to him! Bob and the rest of the people at BARK are commitment to the welfare of the dogs in their care. They spare no expense in caring for these dogs and do their best to place them in the best home possible. If the dog is not placed, they can live their life out on the BARK farm. If I was a dog and found myself on the street, I would want BARK to pick me up!!
