BAARK!'s mission is to provide spay/neuter surgeries and educational training and information to help reduce the homeless animal population of dogs and cats in The Bahamas. VWB/VSF partnered with BAARK! to help ensure animals can live healthy, happy lives. Program support included pet food, surgical tools and equipment, personal protective equipment, fuel for transports, the cost of veterinary technicians, and surgeries at local veterinary clinics.
