The Brookhaven Animal Rescue League is dedicated to the humane care of shelter animals while actively contributing to our community through responsible pet ownership, public health initiatives, and the strengthening of the human-animal bond.
Since our incorporation in 1981, BARL has served as a passionate advocate for animals across Lincoln, Franklin, and Copiah counties. What began as an all-volunteer effort has grown into a professional organization that has positively impacted the lives of thousands of animals, proving that dedicated community support can drive meaningful change.
We take pride in our professional management and modern facilities, including our recently upgraded cat room designed for comfort with stainless steel enclosures and sun-filled porches. Beyond daily care, we manage our population through a combination of shelter-based support and initiatives like our Home to Home program, which minimizes stress for animals by facilitating adoptions without unnecessary shelter transitions.
Adoption is a joyful journey that changes two lives at once: yours and your new pet's. We strive to make this connection seamless by providing fully vetted animals, including those who have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, ensuring you and your new companion are ready to start a happy life together.
You make our work possible through your generosity and advocacy. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer, or provide a donation, you are helping us create more success stories. Please visit our adoption center, explore our available pets online, or reach out to us today to see how you can make a difference in an animal's life.
