About the shelter

BARS is a non-profit animal rescue organisation registered in the Netherlands saving the lives of stray and neglected animals from Azerbaijan.

 We are animal lovers who cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of homeless animals starving on the streets and those facing abuse or harm. Our mission is to create a world where all lives are valued and respected, striving to end cruelty and foster compassion for animals by alleviating their suffering.

 We run a dog shelter housing over 130 rescued dogs, operating under a strict ‘no-kill’ philosophy, which means that we do not euthanize animals. Running a no-kill shelter is a challenging mission. Our shelter receives no local or state funding and relies entirely on public contributions to cover its annual operating budget. Adoption poses a significant challenge for us, as local adoption rates in Azerbaijan remain low. Meanwhile, rescued cats are fostered by our dedicated volunteers. We work tirelessly to give these animals the chance to live happy, safe lives, and we believe that, together, we can continue this noble mission and reach our goals.

 We are a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing animals in need and placing them in permanent, loving homes. Without government subsidies, we rely entirely on the generosity of individual donors. As Stichting BARS holds ANBI status, all donations are tax-deductible in the Netherlands, which can benefit you as a donor by lowering your taxable income.
