Pine B.A.R.C. is a no-kill adoption center located on an 80 acre farm in Lamar County, Mississippi. We currently house more then 80 dogs in large fenced in areas. We are working toward getting the funding necessary to remodel the existing barn to house the dogs in indoor-outdoor runs that will be heated and air conditioned. We also have plans to build a room suitable to house cats and kittens but at this point we depend on foster homes to house the cats and kittens. If you are interested in learning more about the cat or dog foster care program please contact us.

In addition to dogs and cats we are also set up to house hamsters and other pet rodents, rabbits and other small furry animals like ferrets, snakes and other reptiles and pet fish.

We feel that preventing the births of the animals before they occur is the solution to the problem of overpopulation and strays. One of our main goals here at the rescue center is to set up a free or discounted spay/neuter program for all cats and dogs in our target area. Although we recognize the need for organizations that euthanize millions of animals every year we feel that by focusing on preventing those births we will greatly reduce the numbers that other organizations are forced to euthanize every year. We currently are working on getting several different grants that could help make this possible. Private donations and volunteers are also needed to help make this a reality.

We spay and neuter all dogs that are of age before they are adopted out but sometimes it is necessary to offer a voucher for discounted alterations. Most veterinarians in the Hattiesburg area offers half price spay and neuters to your adopted pet and we work with the Friends of Animals-Mississippi, 228-216-SPAY to insure the animal is altered. We also go to schools and other organizations and educate them on the necessity of having all animals altered.

One of our goals is to get Lamar County to set up Animal Control as required by law and to uphold existing Federal and State animal cruelty laws and to enforce them and provide funding for the housing and care of these animals. If you would like to help us petition the Lamar County Board of Supervisors in this matter please contact us. We need volunteers to help right this wrong before the homeless animal situation gets any worse in Lamar County. This is not only an animal rights issue it is also a health and safety issue for the citizens of Lamar County.

All dogs are kept up to date on shots and all other necessary medical attention. We work closely with Dr. Tom Ricks at Town and Country Animal Hospital in Hattiesburg and the director, Dianne, has a background in veterinary medicine and animal care.

We are a non-profit public charity as defined by the I.R.S. All financial gifts are tax deductible. We are also incorporated as 501-C3 incorporation
