Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!)

A Legacy of Love

Our mission is simple and enduring: to rescue, rehabilitate, and relocate animals in need to their forever homes. Since 1979, we have served as a dedicated advocate for the furry friends of Baldwin County.

Our History and Purpose

As the first county-wide animal welfare agency, we pride ourselves on being a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that runs entirely on the kindness and generosity of our community. We do not receive any government funding, which allows us to focus our full attention on our mission to eliminate abuse and abandonment through rescue, education, and spay/neuter initiatives.

How We Care

The Baldwin Humane Society operates as a no-kill, limited intake adoption center in Fairhope, Alabama. While we manage a kennel facility, our work is made possible through the support of our dedicated volunteers and supporters. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment for every pet that comes into our care while they await their perfect match.

Your New Best Friend

Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are honored to help you find your new companion. We encourage you to explore our available pets, who are waiting with wagging tails and friendly faces to meet you. Whether you fall in love with a senior dog or a playful kitten, our team is here to guide you through the process of bringing a new family member home.

Join Our Mission

You can make a pawsitive impact today by browsing our currently adoptable pets or filling out an adoption application online.
