BARC, The Humane Society
Our Mission
At BARC, Anderson County Humane Society, we are dedicated to offering refuge, care, and a second chance at life to the abandoned, injured, and lost animals in our community. We believe in fostering a spirit of humanity and gentleness toward all animals while promoting responsible pet ownership.
Why We Are Here
We are committed to the protection of animals from cruelty and neglect, striving to eliminate the surplus of homeless pets in Anderson County. By educating the public on the vital importance of sterilization and supporting the enforcement of animal welfare laws, we work to build a safer and more compassionate future for our furry friends.
How We Care
Our shelter in Palestine, Texas, serves as a hub of activity where we provide nourishment and care while animals await their forever homes. We do not euthanize healthy animals to create space, so we rely on a dedicated team and community support to manage our capacity, including hosting regular adoption events and coordinating transport for rescues.
Your Partner in Adoption
Finding the perfect companion is a journey, and our adoption counselors are here to help ensure a successful match. We encourage you to spend quality time with our dogs and cats during your visit, as this helps us understand their personalities and ensures everyone gets along beautifully.
Join Our Mission
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to visit us at 335 Armory Road, open daily from 12pm to 5pm, to meet our available animals. Whether you adopt, volunteer, or support our medical fund through donations or recycling efforts, your partnership helps us improve the lives of homeless pets every single day.
