Do you find it interesting that 📍Connecticut doesn’t even crack the top 10. Infact, we’re closer to Texas in rank than other New England states.

Love to hear your thoughts 💭in the comments

Each year, the Legal Defense Fund publishes its U.S. State Animal Protection Laws Ranking Report. It is the longest-running and most authoritative of its kind, assessing the strength of each state and territory’s animal protection laws by examining over 3,600 pages of statutes. Each state and territory is ranked based on 20 different categories of animal protection.

****Thank you to anyone who submitted an application for this courtesy posted pup. We have 3 applications we’re actively checking and will send to Molly’s owner. It will be entirely up to the dog’s owner to reach out to those applicants and arrange a private adoption. We have no involvement in courtesy posted dogs / private adoption.

While we have so many incredible BARC friends on who interact with our page, its very unfortunate how many individuals choose to display limited emotional control when the TRUTH is presented about the two options dog owners have in the state of CT:

•abandon (but if your dog is microchipped you will be arrested)

•euthanasia (yes, healthy dogs are euthanized every single day. Please get off your delusional train ride that it “does not happen in CT” you sound so silly)

•Give away to a random degenerate on the Free Pets Pages - this option is by far the WORST one - please dont ever do this to your dog!

If reality hurts your feelings and causes you to lose control in the comments, channel that emotion and draft emails to YOUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS, SHOW UP AT TOWN COUNCIL MEETINGS, RUN FOR A LEADERSHIP POSITION, VOLUNTEER WITH CT VOTES FOR ANIMALS

Your comments simply harm the dog and reinforce why most Rescues refuse to offer courtesy posts. It’s not worth the headache dealing with such insanity of emotionally immature adults. So, dogs suffer BECAUSE YOU CANT CONTROL YOURSELF…. how sad

To everyone who’s not a lunatic, shared the post, or left kind words of support, Thank you! We see you & appreciate you! 💛✨🙏🏼

COURTESY POST: MUST BE GONE BY TOMORROW

📍CT - The poor sweet dog in a cage is called Molly. She’s had one owner her whole life. She is 6 years old, without too much detail, the owner sadly cannot keep her and she will need be adopted by tomorrow morning (Friday 11/7) or she will be abandoned/euth/etc. This is a courtesy post. We have no say in what an owner chooses to do with their dog. As a reminder, CT offers no options for surrendering a pet. When this owner called the municipal shelters they were told no, sorry—which is the norm. And, abandonment is a crime in CT and they’d rather spend time and money and resources pursuing that instead of creating a common sense solution. So please keep this in mind before taking to the comments. Thanks!

Sully’s fur is really responding to treatment—but the biggest factor in this rapid improvement? The BARC Factor: LOVE & CARE from an awesome team of dedicated people. We want to thank the new foster we’ve welcomed into our crew. He’s stepped up in a huge way for sweet Sully and we’re very grateful! Thank you everyone for donating towards Sully’s care. We’re able to afford to get him the highest quality food and treats, all the vet care and medication, supplies and more. This is local rescue + teamwork as it’s finest 🤩🙏🏼✨🥹

Check the comments for his “before” photo. Before he was rescued by BARC CT.

A sad 😞 reminder on the day after Election Day 🗳️ Our state continues to ignore animal welfare, allow import from the South despite a broken, overwhelmed shelter system and zero alternatives to combat CT’s skyrocketing vet care costs that no one can afford anymore. Sick and injured, or elderly dogs abandoned because no one can afford help and NO shelter in CT is required to accept surrender. This is not normal‼️‼️We shared this info at the 2025 Midwest conference and reps from other states were shocked to learn CT’s dirty little secret 🤫

Do we continue voting for the same hypocritical people & policies, and are we getting what we deserve, Connecticut? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just a reminder, WE CANNOT RESCUE OUR WAY OUT OF CONNECTICUT’S DOG CRISIS, ever. We are simply going in circles while the suffering worsens.

3PM: Grateful to see the outpouring of emails looking help!! Such incredible people!! We have someone set to take them on Thursday and just to hear back from Vintage Pet to confirm!! As soon as we do, we’ll provide a new update! TYSM!! 🥹🥹🥹

We’re SO close to getting a very happy ending for these two: CAN YOU DRIVE?

We’re working with Vintage Pet Rescue in Rhode Island. They’re agreeing to take these two poor babies but also allowing us to bring them immediately this week if we can locate a reliable, kind soul who has time this week to make the trip.

WE PAY FOR GAS (round trip) and we’re happy to compensate you for time considering the urgency and legnth of trip,

We will Venmo you ahead of time for gas!

Vintage Pet Rescue is well equipped to handle Boo & Celia. We will make a donation to VPR from the funds collected last week (so your donations will go to Boo & Celia’s care as promised!)

Please, email us with your email and if you’re available WEDNESDAY 11/5 or THURSDAY 11/6 Email: [email protected]
