BARKS (Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad) is a non-profit, all volunteer, animal rescue organization founded in 1973 to provide veterinary care, housing and permanent placement of stray and abandoned cats and dogs.

​

BARKS works in association with the Byram Pound located on Mansfield Drive in Byram Township, N.J. In addition to the pets that can be seen at the Byram Pound, we also have many cats in foster homes and several dogs in local kennels. These pets can be seen by appointment and at our regularly scheduled adoption days.

Complete adoption application, interview by BARKS, obtain vet and personal references, home visit for all of dog adoptions.

BARKS prohibits the de-clawing of cats. All adopted animals must be returned to BARKS if the family can not keep the animals for any reason.
