The Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC) is a flagship facility owned and operated by Blacktown City Council. Located in Glendenning, NSW, this $30 million state-of-the-art centre opened in 2023 and is the first of its kind in Australia.

Designed with a "fear-free" philosophy, BARC focuses on animal comfort and high-volume rehoming, serving as a regional hub for lost, stray, and abandoned animals across Western Sydney. Its modern architecture and specialized veterinary wing make it a leader in urban animal welfare.

The shelters and rescue groups in Blacktown are working every day to care for animals in need—and they can't do it alone. Whether you choose to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, your support helps save lives and build a more compassionate community. Reach out to a local organization today and become part of the change.
