About this shelter

Barktown Rescue in Boston, KY

We advocate for those who are overlooked and serve as a voice for the unwanted. We believe that every dog deserves a loving home and, like people, they all deserve a second chance at happiness.

Before you go

Adopting from Barktown Rescue

Adoption process

To begin the adoption process, we request that an application be completed for the animal of interest. Once the application is approved, we will arrange a meeting with the animal, which will have already received necessary veterinary care such as spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and heartworm testing. The adoption fee starts at $125, and a contract must be signed at the time of adoption.

Service area
We primarily source animals from the Nelson County animal shelter, which is a high-kill facility that does not engage in adoptions. Animals surrendered by owners may be euthanized within a day, while strays are typically euthanized within five days. In terms of adoptions, we have successfully placed animals in homes across the country.
