About this shelter

BARKS (Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad in Stanhope, NJ

BARKS (Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad) is a non-profit, all-volunteer animal rescue organization established in 1973. Its mission is to provide veterinary care, housing, and permanent placement for stray and abandoned cats and dogs. BARKS collaborates with the Byram Pound, located on Mansfield Drive in Byram Township, New Jersey. In addition to the pets available at the Byram Pound, BARKS has numerous cats in foster homes and several dogs in local kennels. These animals can be viewed by appointment and during our regularly scheduled adoption days.
