[Music] not everybody gets along so great so they get times out of the kennels at different times because of that CU we don't want anybody fighting so back in 2014 um I was involved with a law and found pets group out here in the lockah hatchee area and a lot of the pets that we were finding we weren't able to get them home they were ending up at the County shelter and unfortunately at being so overcrowded a lot of them were being euthanized because they didn't have enough space and um we decided at that point that it was time that we opened up a rescue and so my husband and I um took the plunge and we started Barky Pines animal rescue and Sanctuary we've got dogs we've got um a lot of farm cats who help with uh Pest Control we've got three horses uh four goats three pigs about 100 chickens about 70 ducks a tortoise six peacocks but yeah all kinds of all kinds of animals are we are mission specific to help the dogs first and foremost that are in the County Municipal shelter at Palm Beach County Animal Control um these are dogs that are at risk of being euthanized whether or not they have a broken leg they've got heartworm doing because the County shelter has been over capacity now for well over a year almost going into two years now when they're not as in such Dire Straits then we'll take owner surrenders but we really do try to keep it in Palm Beach County so we feel it's really critical to you know always think globally but act locally so we're a smaller rescue we just you know a handful of people so what can we do and where can we make the most impact so Pit's ch and now French Bulldogs are on the at risk category of dogs and what that means is there are much too many of them they're being overbred the people that are are breeding them to sell them are not making sure that those are going to be forever homes and so a lot of them they don't get training they don't get the proper medical care when they're younger and then they end up at the at the shelters so what we're trying to do is reduce that population of the atrisk dogs so they are no longer a statistic in um 2022 we were seeing the economy getting really bad and a lot of people couldn't afford um to care for their pets the vet care was just getting too astronomically expensive so we said well let's see what we can do and we started a lowcost clinic and I worked very hard getting grants so we could do uh free spay and neuters on really the the most atrisk breeds which so we do everything we can to help people get those services for free and in addition we offer lowcost services to the community uh which includes everything from vaccines to body x-rays we do dentals along with dental X-rays everybody that comes in for a dental gets a full mouth x-ray we do broken bones we do um femoral head surgery we do obstructions we do eye removals pretty much we do almost everything here at our Clinic we're not looking at our bottom line ever like the price is the least of what we want we want to just strictly help the animal keep more animals at home the healthier the pet the happier the pet the happier the home and the pet will live longer and not only live longer but Thrive uh it doesn't have to be you know expensive but an annual checkup is always good you know you could spot something in advance just like for us you know preventative care so you know you take your your dog to the or cat to the vet once a year you let them do some blood work they could find something early and fix it before it becomes such an issue that not only is it super expensive but it by that time it may not be able to be fixed can't eat any more we're we're now in our 10th year so we're very excited about that and um we're you know we're always looking to grow and with that comes obviously more work and and more staff and more support needed but it's that many more animals that we can help so just you know continue to grow and save lives and help as many people as we can and keep as many pets at home with their families as we can you know this is a multi faceted approach to having uh less homeless pets and more healthy pets at home water hum you're going to be his make sure he go home
