The HOPE Fund

In February of 2007, BARK founded The HOPE Fund. Little Hope was a 6-month old puppy who had been abused by a man for her entire life. Even after all the little dog had been through, she still licked any human hand that offered her love and kindness. Unfortunately, the abuse that she suffered prior to coming to BARK was too much for her and she passed away quietly and peacefully while under veterinary care. To read her story and see photos of how Hope came to us, please click here. (please note: this link has music)

We all loved HOPE and honor her courage and memory through The HOPE Fund. BARK has hope for all the dogs in the world. Not only does BARK rescue dogs in danger of being euthanized, we also use donations to help dogs like little Hope. Many, many dogs recover fully from truly horrible beginnings and go on to find loving homes and live long, wonderful lives.
 
Please consider making a donation to help a dog start a new life. Donations to The HOPE Fund will be used to help dogs with specific & extensive needs.

A recent recipient of the Hope Fund is Monique, who was the runt of a litter of 5 gorgeous shepherd-mix puppies that came to BARK in February 2010.  By late-March, all but Monique had been adopted out to wonderful forever homes.  But poor little Monique was too skinny to spay, and she could gain no weight due to chronic nausea and diarrhea.  After several weeks of various antibiotics, tummy soothers, and a diet of rice and boiled chicken, she seemed to be on her way to recovery.  But suddenly one morning it became clear something was seriously wrong, and she was rushed in to the vet where she had to have emergency surgery to have part of her intestines removed.  She is now a healthy, active 1-year old dog, thanks to generous donations to the Hope Fund that help dogs like her.  Please help other dogs to have a second chance and consider making you donation today!
