Barret's Buddies Barret's Buddies is Blues defenseman Barret Jackman's program to help neglected and abused animals from Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
Stray Rescue's mission is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them back to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes.
Support Barret's Buddies & Stray Rescue at Two Weekend Events!
The Saint Louis University Museum of Art will host Urban Wanderers: The Tail End on Sunday, August 29, beginning at noon. Barret Jackman will be at the museum to mark the final day of the exhibition, featuring artwork inspired by abandoned animals rescued by Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
Urban Wanderers: The Tail End will offer a final opportunity to personally view the art that inspired over 40 area artists, including actress Loretta Swit, to paint, sculpt, and photograph an abandoned stray. The rescued animals have used their paws, tails and noses to create “personalized” works of art. All artwork is available for auction click here to bid. Proceeds support Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
The dog days of summer are nearly at an end, however, the Stray Rescue mission continues. Over 90 dogs formerly housed at the city pound are in the process of being relocated and provided with clean, new homes at the new Stray Rescue shelter located at 2320 Pine. Although the Stray Rescue shelter is ready for occupancy, more than $600,000 is needed to complete construction. Stray Rescue of St. Louis requires $1.7 million annually for operational costs.
Light refreshments, Pappy’s Smokehouse, and Anheuser-Busch products will be served.
Barret's Buddies of the Month
Every month, several dogs from Stray Rescue are selected as Barret's Buddies of the Month. They are in need of a loving family and would love nothing more than to meet you! If you are interested in adopting one of our special friends, please visit Stray Rescue.

About Stray Rescue
Stray Rescue's sole purpose is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes.Virtually all of the pets Stray Rescue saves have been abused and neglected. They've been dumped on highways, or remote country roads. Abandoned in public parks, empty houses and dark alleys. They've even saved dogs left chained behind buildings after their owners had moved away.
Rescued animals often make the best pets. Pets from Stray Rescue seem to understand that they have a second lease on life. In return for a little affection and attention, these remarkable animals reward their new owners with a love and loyalty unmatched anywhere.
