BARK was born in April 2006. Six months later, it's time to have a look at what we've done... It's time to let you guys know what we've been up to, and where we are heading from here.

Since last April, we have improved the lives of over 70 animals. Most were re-homed, some were returned to the streets as a part of our CNR program (Catch Neuter Return), and some are still currently under our care. In the last seven weeks alone, we re-homed 14 pets.

Coming up this mid-October, we are having our biggest event to date. Some key members, as well as many volunteers have been putting a lot of effort into planning this event. The response and support we are receiving from the community continues to amaze us. It's very encouraging to know that so many people out there care deeply for our south-dwelling four-legged friends.

BARK is now a fully fledged organization composed of a handful of important key people, several volunteers, several sponsors, cooperating vets and pet stores, etc. And it is still only the beginning!

So what's next for BARK? Back when Natasha and I started this organization, we just wanted others to help us so that we could help more animals. Our wishes were met ten fold. We were able to help many more animals. Now we are planning to do even more! What we need now is our own holding center where we can prepare animals for adoption and operate our CNR program more actively. We need a physical address where people can not only visit our animals, but also help us care for them.

More hands, more accessibility, more animals is what we need to further the impact that we are making against the suffering of animals. So stay tuned! We'll be announcing the inauguration of our very own holding center soon.

I will keep you updated on our progress. All of us will make a difference together. At the end of the day, every bit of comfort we bring to our forgotten best friends makes it all worth it.
