The BARC STARZ Team proudly reports that all 12 of the original dogs scheduled for euthanasia on 9/9/07 are either in foster care, the care of a rescue group or adopted into their new homes! But Trevor, Lester & Levi, pictured below, only have to the end of this month.
In case you were worried about your "favorite" dog (we all have them) from the original BARC 12...
ADOPTED dogs: Sergio, Jasmine, Poteet, Sasha, Freckles, Gong-Li, Jack, Ray and Lovie.
RESCUED DOGS: The kind folks of the National Portugese Water Dog rescue group came to get Baxter and he is in foster care now. Lucky dogs Fatima, Fancy and Buddy are in the care of Scouts Honor Rescue. Thank you Scouts Honor once again!!!
IN FOSTER CARE and still available for adoption: Charleston, Sammy and Reisling.
Still at BARC and have until the end of the month: Trevor, Lester, & Levi.. Their pictures are posted here!
If you've been thinking about getting a dog or wanting to help save lives by becoming a foster parent, we hope you'll come out to BARC and continue to spread the word about these dogs. BARC has great cats available for adoption too!
Please mark your calendars for Saturday, October 20th at 10am. BARC is having a NEW VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION SESSION. This is a great chance for you to come out and see the shelter and find out how to get involved. BARC needs help at the shelter, at offsite adoption centers, and behind the scenes. At 11am, all current volunteers are invited to join in for an official BARC Update from BARC Director Kent Robertson and head veterinarian Dr. Ohashiegbula-Iwunze (famously known as Dr. O).
Afterwards, all are invited to stay and help with the Wags to Whiskers event...a special time for all the volunteers to gather and make sure each of the animals receives a little extra TLC.
BARC is located at 3200 Carr St, Houston TX 77026 and is open Mon-Fri 11:30 am -5:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday from Noon - 4 pm.

Congrats to all of the lucky animals!! And a big thanks to BARC, fosters, adopters, Scouts Honor and anyone else involved in helping these "last chance animals"!!!
Thanks to BARC STARZ and Friends of BARC for working so tirelessly to save the homeless pets at BARC and many, many thanks to the area residents who opened up their hearts and homes to these animals!
I'm glad we can post pictures of pets in need on Animal Attraction and help save lives!
YEA! I'm so glad they were all saved! Way to step up (again)! (Nice to see something from earlier disappeared!)
Michelle,
Since you and CBS have now taken it upon yourselves to edit content, perhaps your disclaimer should read "profanity AND ANTI-SPCA COMMENTS will not be tolerated."
Afterall, there were no profanities in my comments. This won't matter to many as only SPCA employees watch this blog, but it matters to me. Congratations, you have advanced the interests of your free employee, and the only price paid was the truth and animals' lives.
Glad I'm not you.

SPCA employees are not the only ones watching this blog. I am not an SPCA employee. You assume too much!
And I am not an SPCA employee either - which you have accused me of several times in the past!
Me thinks these ladies (or gentlemen) doth protest too much.

Me thinks you doth accuse too much when ye knows not of what you speak!!
It's not us who protests a lot...we try to be positive and give well wishes to the animals, rescue groups, etc. It is others who do the protesting and ruin it for others!
