"When it comes down to it, at some point, you have to stop the animals coming in on the front end, which means a major financial and community-­awareness investment in spaying and neutering," she said.

Stop stealing other people's puppies off their own property.

BARC stole my puppy, I called numerous times and left several messages to which none of my calls were returned, the Owner/Manager told me I had to pay $500.00 -which I did not--my puppy was stolen off my property and BARC left a note stating that the dog was taken from its home address, and then I found out re-sold my puppy to some one earlier today.


Has this happened to anyone else before?
