Launched in Spring 2022, The Barking Project was established to save the lives of dogs facing euthanasia in Texas shelters due to overcrowding. Inspired to make a difference, friends with a shared passion for animal rescue created a large-scale adoption event uniting rescues from all over Texas and raising awareness. We partner with animal rescues who are saving shelter dogs from euthanasia and finding them loving homes. All proceeds raised from The Barking Project are distributed among the participating rescues to further their mission and impact.
The continued success and reach of The Barking Project Adoption Event fuel our unwavering commitment to further the cause. We stand united, barking for change, one wagging tail at a time.
President Emily Hoffman is hopeful to make this year's event even more successful than the previous two years. In 2022, the inaugural event benefitted eight local rescues with over 100 dogs in attendance. In 2023, the numbers surged with over $20,000 raised for 22 participating local rescue groups and hosted over 200 furry friends. This year's event should shatter the previous two years as this wonderful organization continues to grow and support all dogs that need good homes.
This year's third annual adoption event will be held Saturday, April 20th from 11am -4 pm at Mutts Cantina in Uptown. Participating sponsors this year include, Uptown Dallas Inc., Hart Commercial, Readivet, West Village, Dallasites 101, Hollywood Feed, and Barking Hound Village. Come enjoy the fun and bring the kids, 2 legged ones and 4 legged ones!
