Help animals like Skippy

When Skippy arrived at BARC after being struck by a car, his front legs were shattered beyond repair. The team made the heartbreaking decision to amputate—but no one told Skippy he wasn’t supposed to bounce back. Today, he races across the sanctuary yard on two legs, chasing after his friends with pure joy, teaching everyone who meets him that the will to live knows no limitations.

Your donation today becomes the emergency surgery that saves a life, the medicine that heals an infection, the warm bed where a rescued animal finally feels safe. Because of you, there will be many more stories like Skippy’s—many more animals who discover that life’s greatest gifts often come after its hardest moments.
