What You’ll Find
BACS is much more than just another city shelter. In addition to a caring, committed, and knowledgeable staff, hundreds of volunteers collectively give an average of 426 hours of their time each week, supporting groundbreaking programs and community services.
This cooperation, enthusiasm, and compassion point to why BACS has one of the highest live release rates for a municipal facility in the nation. In April 2009, BACS was the recipient of the prestigious Maddie’s Fund Lifesaving Award, which recognized the shelter’s work in finding homes for all healthy and treatable shelter pets.
