Pick Me! I Am Special

Each year, the Franky Fund helps more than 900 animals get the critical medical care they need. But even after their initial treatment, there are animals that need long-term, additional or follow-up care in order to completely heal. For the wonderful people that want to help these animals, the adoption fee is waived.

In appreciation of the services that our police,
firefighters, active duty military and veterans
provide to our community, BARCS created a

protecting and saving us.
