Rooney and Wendell already have everything they need — warm beds, full bellies, and families who love them. But there are thousands of animals still waiting for their happily ever after, and you can help make it happen. This year, we’re setting an ambitious goal: to raise $100,000 through the Dog Wedding Gala to support the lifesaving work happening every day at BARCS.

There are two special ways to give in honor of the newlyweds:

The Puppymoon Fund

This year’s Puppymoon Fund supports BARCS’ Medical Care Program, which provides urgent and ongoing medical treatment for homeless, injured, and neglected animals. Both Rooney and Wendell’s lives were saved thanks to this program when they arrived at BARCS in need of immediate care. Your donation helps ensure the next animal in crisis gets that same second chance.

Shelter Wish List Registry

Just like a traditional bridal registry — but with way more paw prints! Our Amazon Wedding Registry is filled with the things our shelter animals need most: soft blankets, toys, treats, food, leashes, collars, and enrichment supplies. Every item you purchase goes straight to caring for the animals at BARCS, giving comfort, play, and joy to pets waiting for their forever homes.
