At the Barren River Animal Welfare Association (BRAWA), we believe that every animal deserves a life filled with love, stability, and a chance to thrive. Our mission is to provide shelter, medical care, and dedicated support to more than 2,500 animals in Barren County every single year.
Care is the foundation of everything we do, while safety remains our steadfast promise. Through consistent advocacy, we create lasting, positive change for both the animals in our shelter and the compassionate community members who love them.
We operate as a hub of support, providing essential medical care and refuge for homeless pets throughout our region. Our work is powered by a community of volunteers who serve as the heart of our operations, from walking dogs and socializing cats to assisting at our facility on Trojan Trail.
Adoption is a joyful partnership that transforms lives, and we take pride in helping you find your next best friend. Whether you are ready to open your home for a forever adoption or provide a temporary safe space through fostering, you are choosing to change a life for the better.
We invite you to visit us at 175 Trojan Trail in Glasgow, Kentucky, to meet the pets currently waiting for their new families. Please check our website to view our adoptable animals, learn more about our volunteer programs, or reach out to our team at 270-651-7297. We look forward to helping you write your own heartwarming success story.
