Extreme mass animal cruelty was discovered in Baldwin County, Alabama, on January 26, 2012, at Purple Hearted Puppies shelter in Summerdale and on January 27, 2012, at the Dueitt’s residence in Robertsdale.
The Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!) has permanent legal custody of the 66 dogs and 56 cats who defied the odds and survived. BARC! has photographed and catalogued the 122 survivors who were rushed to local veterinary clinics for clear diagnosis and specific treatment plans.
41 cats are now healthy enough for adoption; adoption fee is $55. Prospective pet parents are encouraged to go to PetSmart Eastern Shore Centre right now to meet the cats in their adoption towers then fill out the online adoption application at www.BaldwinHumane.org.
An adoption event is set for Saturday, March 3, from 10am to 3pm PetSmart Eastern Shore Centre in Malbis. BARC! will have their adoptable dogs (none are from Purple Hearted Puppies) and more cats who were the survivors.
“This is a marathon -- not a sprint – for the dogs’ recovery ” remarked Dr Stephanie Powe of Animal Wellness Center in Fairhope. “Although many of them are recovering well, some of the animals have more severe and lingering illnesses and won’t be healthy enough to adopt out at this time.”
The first dog adoption for the survivors will be later in March. Meanwhile, BARC! has 198 dogs and cats in their care.
Medical costs will be handled only through the Baldwin County Humane Society; your tax-deductible donations can be made at www. BaldwinHumane.org or mailed to PO Box 206, Fairhope, AL 36533.

For the 20th year, the Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!) was the charity of choice for Paws Meet Claus at Magnolia Small Animal Clinic in Foley on December 10, 2011.
The pet photo fundraiser was a collaboration of these generous people: Peter Greer who has volunteered as Santa for 11 years and Beth Waltrip with KodaChromeGirl.com who has volunteered her time and expertise with set design and photography for several years.
Dr Lee Ann McGill donated the entire $1,000 proceeds to the no-kill adoption agency (rather than a shelter) that was established in 1979.
“Dr McGill, her staff, volunteers Santa and the photographer, all embody the true spirit of giving this holiday season” remarked Sonja Presley, BARC! Executive Director. “Their collective efforts along with 50 people who came for pet portraits will allow us to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome more dogs and cats.”

In an unprecedented coming together of media, retail and corporate partners, the Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!) is flourishing. Recently, BARC! had the honor of recognizing Southern Chevrolet of Foley as a corporate partner. They have provided the means to increase the number of dogs that can be rescued, rehabilitated then rehomed.
Pet adoption is critical to ending the tragedy of euthanasia – a tragedy that claims the lives of thousands of homeless pets every year in Baldwin County. Mike Werneth, co-owner of Southern Chevrolet of Foley, has a goal to cover boarding and medical expenses for 40 dogs who will be pulled from local kill shelters within 12 months.
At pet adoptions, the dogs wear blue jackets with "I was rescued by Southern Chevrolet of Foley" embroidered on it. Visit www.BaldwinHumane.org for a photo gallery of dogs sponsored by them; notice they’re named Chevy, Tahoe, Cammie Camaro, Blazer and Malibu after the vehicles.
“We would like to thank our corporate partner, and we ask that you do the same by giving them your business the next time you need some services” remarked Donna Burns, BARC! Board Member. When she presented the plaque to Rick Carlisle, New Car Sales Manager, she continued “We could not do this without Southern Chevrolet’s help.”

125 motorcycle riders from all over the Gulf Coast raised over $3,000 in the recent BIKERS FOR BARC! poker run for the abused, abandoned and injured animals that are rescued by the Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!).
Entry fee included a donation of canned or dry dog/cat food to the BARC! Pet Food Pantry which resulted in almost 1,000 pounds.
The 82-mile scenic route concluded Cobalt the Restaurant, located next to Caribe Resort in Orange Beach, where prizes were awarded.
Matt Burton of Spanish Fort held the best poker hand; he won a 4 day/3 night stay at Tidewater 204, an Orange Beach condo valued at $600 donated by Chad and Emily Mitchell with The Seamitchell.com Team with Remax Realty Centre.
Vaughan McFarland of Bon Secour got fabulous consolation prizes for holding the worst poker hand.
“We surpassed our fundraising goal by 50%” remarked Sonja Presley, BARC! Executive Director. “The success of this event is attributed to Debi and Jim Munsey, event organizers, who chose a fabulous route that everyone enjoyed and they got $1,000 in raffle prizes donated from businesses all around Baldwin County. There was so much enthusiasm from the motorcycle riders from our first BIKERS FOR BARC! that we’re already planning the next one.”
Videos and pictures from the event are posted to www.BaldwinHumane.org.

The Parrot Heads are a collection of folks who embrace the music and writings of Jimmy Buffett and believe in "leaving things just a little better than they found them ... and having a BLAST while doing it" according to www.lalph.org.
“For years, the local Parrot Heads have supported the BARC! Pet Food Pantry and our spay/neuter program”“ remarked Sonja Presley, BARC! Executive Director. “They are so much fun to have as volunteers at our events too.”
