A journey to save lives starts with a way to get there.

​

In 2025, Barney’s Furry Friends rescued 229 dogs and cats — pulling them from overcrowded shelters, off the streets in California, and from northern communities here in Canada.

​

In 2024, we saved 150 animals.
In 2025, that number grew to 229 lives saved.

​

This growth is something we’re incredibly proud of — and it has only been possible because of you.
Our fosters, volunteers, adopters, donors, and supporters are the reason these animals are alive today.

As we look ahead, we’re dreaming bigger.

​

And to keep going… we need something essential:

​

🚐 Our Own Rescue Van

​

​

🐾 Why a Rescue Van Matters

Right now, transportation is one of our biggest limitations.

​

A dedicated rescue van would allow us to:

​

✔️ Safely transport more animals at once
✔️ Reduce stress for dogs and cats during travel
✔️ Respond quickly when animals are at risk
✔️ Lower long-term transport and boarding costs
✔️ Give our rescue independence and flexibility

​

A rescue van doesn’t just make things easier - it allows us to save more lives.

​

​

🌎 Our Big Dream

This is the part that means everything to us.

With a rescue van, we want to do something we’ve never been able to do before:

Drive to California ourselves. To walk into the shelters. To meet the dogs in person. To choose them. To save them.
And to bring them home ourselves. From the moment we meet them… To the long drive back… To their first steps into safety…

We want to document the entire journey — so you can truly see what rescue looks like behind the scenes.

The reality. The heartbreak.The hope. The moment everything changes. This has always been our dream.

And with your help - it’s finally within reach.

​

​

🤍 How You Can Help

We are launching this fundraiser to bring our rescue van to life.

Every donation — no matter the size — moves us closer to:

• Saying yes to more dogs

• Transporting them safely

• Expanding what our rescue can do

If you’re able to donate, we are incredibly grateful.
If you’re not, sharing this page means just as much.
