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. 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.

We focus on making the maximum positive effort. Our  members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us do good work.  Using community driven models, we take actions that make a long-lasting  difference.
