Bay Area Rescue Keeshonden, Inc. (BARK) is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) dog rescue organization. We rescue Keeshond dogs of all ages from animal shelters and individuals throughout Northern California.
We foster our dogs in the homes of volunteers. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, immunized, tested for heartworms, and microchipped prior to adoption.
We care very deeply about our dogs! We are available to our adopters with advice and support for the lifetime of the dog.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

We place our dogs only in Northern California.
Additional adoption info
We place our dogs in approved homes only in Northern California.
We match our dogs with their new people very carefully, taking into consideration such factors as the type of home (house, apartment, etc.), children or other pets in the home, and the kinds of activities the people like to do with their dogs.
The first step in our adoption process is to fill out our adoption application, which includes veterinary and personal references. Our adoption process also includes a home visit with all members of the household.
If we have a dog who seems like a good match for you, we make arrangements for you to meet the dog in the foster home.
We require an adoption contract and adoption fee. Adoption fees range from $350 to $500.
