Requirements to adopt a BARC animal:
- You must be at least 21 years old
- You must complete the BARC adoption application
- You must bring two pieces of valid (not expired) identification —a Photo ID and Proof of Current Address (utility bill in your names or similar)
- You need the names and telephone numbers of two references who can vouch for your willingness and ability to care for a pet for its full life. We prefer that references are NOT immediate family members. Acceptable references can be roommates, boss/co-workers, friends/colleagues, etc.
- The name and telephone number of your vet if you currently have, or recently had a pet.
- Your dog if you already have one (to make sure the BARC dog will get along with your current dog)
- Any children in the household under 18 (to make sure the adopted animal is a good fit for your entire family)
- If you rent— a copy of your lease or letter from landlord stating you are allowed to have pets.

This fee helps defray the cost of the animal's initial medical treatment and up-keep at the shelter, including:
