Barks of Love is recognized as a major resource for the welfare of abandoned and abused animals in Orange County and inland Empire, CA. Our goal is to lower euthanasia rates in all animal shelters. We provide our services in Orange County and the Inland Empire; however, we also extend our services to dogs in need from surrounding counties of Southern California when our available resources permit us to do so. We rehabilitate and re-train dogs that are able to qualify for adoption. All dogs are kept in private foster homes where they receive the medical care and affection they require until a "forever home" is found that is deemed suitable by Barks of Love. The adoption process consists of screening applicants, dog "meet and greets", and a home check. At least 75% of the organization's time and effort is spent on rescue and rehabilitation. We are 100% no-kill with an annual average Adoption Rate of 90% of dogs in our care.
