Dog Heroes of September 11th

Photo by Jen Bidner

BARC is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization which receives tax-deductible donations from individuals, organizations, and corporations to support fielding qualified dogs and handlers for search & rescue or recovery missions.

How you can help…

All training and responses are done at the expense of the handlers.  Handlers dedicate approximately 20 hours or more a week to training themselves and their canines for SAR and often use their vacation time off work for SAR activities.  Most gear and equipment is privately owned by the handlers.  They use their personal vehicles to travel to trainings, seminars, demos, and search missions - most are more than two hours away.  The biggest personal expense is the care of their canines.

To help defer costs in support of our mission, donated funds are used for team equipment & supplies such as radios, GPS units, boat equipment, as well help to defray costs associated with outside seminars and certification tests.  Please help us to continue to respond when needed by donating today.  We need your support.  Thank you!

To make a tax-deductible contribution, please send your check payable to "BARC" to:
Bay Area Recovery Canines, 2675 Claibourne Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403.

 or donate online using JustGive.org
