Bridgeport Nonprofits and Charities

I have a major concern with BCARL....not the dog shelter. Their mission is: are the prevention of cruelty; the relief of suffering among animals; extend humane education; humane care and treatment of animals needing protection in the area; return lost animals to their owners; seek suitable homes for animals without owners; and reduce overpopulation. Yet this organization has had the hiring of a Humane Officer in their hands for over three years and has not done anything with this position nor has had nothing to do with any recent rescues of abused and starving animals in the Belmont County area. For instance, in 2018 here were four horses in the Neffs area that were starving every winter for years. It was the dog shelter that assisted which is not BCARL. There was a recent animals cruelty case in Belmont where over 40 dead animals were found and starving live animals removed. Where was BCARL? Belmont County Sheriffs Officer and once again the animal shelter was involved. The living animals are fostered and BCARL has not once stepped up to assist the foster care provider. More recently there was a recuse of farms animals in Barnesville. Again BCSO and the animal shelter and foster care volunteers were there. Where is BCARL? So as far as I am concerned I would not send any donations to this agency until they can show how they are fulfilling their mission. If you want to donate send it directly to the animal shelter or BCSO stating it is to be used for cruelty cases only. BCARL needs to prove themselves and someone needs to look into where their money is really going because it is not for the cruelty of animals or the dog shelter!!!
