B.A.R.K., a Hanover County dog rescue organization, is in need of volunteers to house and foster about 50 dogs as soon as possible.

Thanks to some complaints from neighbors living next door to the “noisy” kennel, Hanover County has placed a limit on how many dogs the organization can house.

According to NBC12:

“We’ve got to get them adopted or in foster homes. They deserve to get in a good home. A forever home,” said volunteer Sheri McGavic.

B.A.R.K. was apparently a little too noisy for neighbors, so county leaders decided to put new limits on kennel licenses. B.A.R.K. now has until March 9 to decrease its dog population from 172 to 125 animals. The group is always looking for permanent pet owners, but in this race against the clock the group also needs foster homes.

“That’s one of our greatest needs. And no expense to you other than the time and the place to house them,” said Tillack.

B.A.R.K. will cover food and medical costs for those dogs taken into foster homes.

If you can help, go to B.A.R.K.’s website or call at 804-449-BARK or (2275) ext. 2.
