Everything else, in one place
BARN coordinates rescue and care — it doesn't handle abuse investigations, enforcement, or veterinary emergencies directly. For those, here's exactly who to call.
Essentials to keep on hand
A small kit in the car turns a rescue into a five-minute job instead of an improvised one. Nothing here is expensive or hard to find.
Want to help without carrying a kit or being on call? A lighter option exists too — sign up for email updates on fostering and volunteer needs instead.
Save these numbers
An emergency doesn't wait for a match on BARN. Call directly — report on BARN too if you also need transport, foster, or backup.
Adoption, fostering & rescue organizations
Established organizations already doing this work across the island — good first calls for fostering, adoption, or when a case needs more than BARN's network can offer on its own.

For a medical emergency, call the vet directly — a BARN report still helps if you also need transport or a foster once the animal is stable.

Seeing abuse, not an emergency?
Animal Welfare Barbados is a volunteer-run site built specifically to document and act on animal cruelty reports, through their Animal Abuse Form. They're the right first stop for this — BARN coordinates rescue and care, not investigations or enforcement.
Report abuse at animalwelfarebarbados.com →When you report, include as much as you can:
- Name of the animal's owner, if known
- Name of the abuser, if known
- Exact location
- Dates and times
- Photos or videos
- Specific observations
