Welcome to BARC Our mission at BARC is to help you live happily with your dog in a community that welcomes your pet and respects your decision to be a responsible dog owner. We help you keep your dog happy, healthy, clean, and safe.

We help our city appreciate dogs and their owners as valuable members of the community. Your dog is a pal and a pain, a buddy and a burden. We help maximize the fun and minimize the frustrations of being a dog owner in Beverly.

Working with the Animal Control Officer, Police Department, Department of Public Works, Forestry and Grounds, and the Parks and Recreation Department, we help our community cope with the challenges of sharing life with dogs.

Join us in the fun, help us with the work. Here you and your pet are most welcome. You will find help and advice, support, friendship, and the opportunity to make a difference in your dog's life and in the life of your community. Welcome. We're glad you're here.
