We are a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing animals in need and placing them in permanent, loving homes. Without government subsidies, we rely entirely on the generosity of individual donors.
As Stichting BARS holds ANBI status, all donations are tax-deductible in the Netherlands, which can benefit you as a donor by lowering your taxable income.
Rescued dogs and cats have a greater chance of finding a forever home when all their medical tests and documents are complete. Your donation can help cover the costs of essential items like medical tests, passports, microchips, and veterinary certificates, ensuring that each animal is ready for adoption when the right family comes along.
By contributing to these preparations, you’re giving these animals a real chance at a happy future!
Additional Support for Shelter Needs
Running our shelter comes with ongoing and sometimes unexpected expenses, such as disinfection of kennels and grounds against ticks and other parasites, unexpected medical costs, essential vitamins, necessary construction work, and emergency responses to natural events.
These costs really add up, creating a significant financial challenge. Your generosity helps us maintain a safe, healthy environment for our animals and provide them with the care they deserve.
