Barkie's Legacy in Ocoee, FL
Barkie's Legacy is named in honor of my mother, affectionately known as "Barkie." Our organization focuses on rescuing larger dogs that are at high risk of euthanization. We ensure that these dogs receive the necessary care and rehabilitation until they are fully healthy, after which we help them find permanent, loving homes. Our commitment stems from our frustration with the number of affectionate pets that are euthanized in shelters every day. We proudly support the No Kill movement.
