Our Mission
Our mission is to decrease the number of adoptable shelter pets who are euthanized every day. We are committed to helping one local shelter pet at a time and placing them in a loving home.
Big Hair Animal Rescue (BHAR) is a volunteer run 501c3 rescue located in Central Massachusetts serving the majority of New England and parts of New York. We were founded in April, 2015 and are a home based foster to adopt program.
BHAR is a 501c3 non-profit corporation dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets and a registered Massachusetts public charity.
Since our founding in 2015 we have saved over 850 lives. We are non-breed specific; however, we primarily focus on helping Chows and breeds that over populate shelters like Chihuahuas, hounds and pit bulls (and even rabbits and snakes)!
