Bark at the Moon Animal Rescue (2025)

27/12/2024

Many pets are in rescues for extended periods through no fault of their own, patiently waiting for their forever homes.

Not every pet is right for every home. Finding a pet that matches your lifestyle and personality is essential for both your well-being and theirs. While not everyone can accommodate a larger pet or one with special needs, approaching adoption or fostering with an open mind can make all the difference.

Sometimes, the pet you least expect will turn out to be the one that brings the most joy and love into your life. Opening your heart and home to an animal who may not match your initial vision of the "perfect" pet could be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

🎅MERRY CHRISTMAS🎅

From - Adoptable Franny, some familiar Faces, and all of us here at Bark at the Moon Animal Rescue 💝

24/12/2024

We're in need of a Christmas Miracle.

Our bills are stacking, we have 16 dogs and 2 cats in care.
Our funds are at an all-time low.

Here at BATM, we do everything in our power to set our dogs up for success - this includes an intake vetting appointment for every animal covering our standardized health care requirements before being deemed as adoptable. This year, we had many medical cases, and a handful of behavioural cases, which add up.

We hope to open back up for intake in the new year, but we cannot do this until we can get our vet, training and boarding bills down (which collectively are sitting over $7,000).

If you're able to donate, please do so via e transfer to [email protected], or via zeffy (link in bio).

Spaying or neutering your pet benefits you, your pet, and your community. By making this choice, you’re giving your pet a healthier, longer life, helping control overpopulation, and potentially saving thousands in future vet fees.

Health: Spayed and neutered pets live longer—science backs it up! Studies throughout the years have repeatedly concluded that sterilized pets live longer than intact pets. Sterilization eliminates the risk of cancers and other health conditions linked to reproductive organs, keeping your pet healthier for years to come.

Behaviour: Heat cycles can be tough for everyone. Pets in heat may become aggressive, frustrated, or lethargic. They’re more likely to urinate indoors and vocalize loudly. Intact males may try to escape to find a mate, which can expose them to fights with animals, car accidents, or other dangerous situations. Spaying/neutering can reduce or eliminate these behaviours, making life calmer and safer for both of you.

Population: Animal shelters and rescues are constantly overwhelmed. There are simply too many dogs and cats in need of homes, but not enough resources to care for them all. By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re combating overpopulation, reducing the number of homeless animals, and helping prevent unnecessary euthanasia.

Financial: While there is a cost to spay/neuter, this small investment now could save you thousands later in life. If finances are stopping you from spaying/neutering, search for programs that offer subsidized pricing such as Toronto Animal Services’ Spay Neuter Your Pet Mobile Clinic Program and the City of London’s Spay/Neuter programs.

🖤FOSTER-TO-ADOPT BINGO🖤
M | 1Y | 20 KG | Mixed Breed | Neutered | UTD on shots | Dog tested | No cats | Kid tested | Silly | Adaptable | Potential Allergies (Working with vet currently) | Obedience Trained | House Broken | Fostered in London

You don't need a five-in-a-row on your playing card to find the most lovable, silly buddy to light up your world. We have the number one dog waiting for you! And B-I-N-G-O is his name!

That's right—we are calling the ultimate Bingo! Beaming Bingo is a fanatic of good belly rubs and good times! Ready to challenge you to a game of tug-of-war, Bingo is the companion you are looking for!

His versatility makes him a shining gem as a pet. He's equally happy chilling at home, cuddling up after a long day, or basking in the sun outside. But he also enjoys exercise, walks, and outdoor play. He's making great progress with his training, including basic commands and leash manners, showing his adaptability to different environments!

With a sprinkle of extraversion, Bingo loves the attention in the home and outside! When out in public, he will try to get the attention of fellow hoomans passing by. However, at home, he prefers visitors to kindly approach him.

Bingo is super curious about human kiddos. We have seen him warm up to respectful and gentle children. With more guidance and help, it is possible we can befriend more youngsters. He did great with his past foster dog sibling, but that only translates to some canines. Bingo is indifferent to other dogs out of their stroll, while larger pooches give him the shivers. He will need a fam that supports him through other doggy relationships so that he can potentially do well with future doggo brothers or sisters. While he hasn't had the pleasure of meeting a cat yet, with proper boundary setting and supervision, there is a chance he can make new pawesome kitty friends.

In tune with his sensitive side, our lovely boi gets nervous around loud noises and other barking dogs. He has a tendency to flinch when approaching his face. Therefore, his forever humans will need to treat this area with extra special care and work on getting him comfortable with head touches.

Overall, Bingo is just happy to be here, and he would be even happier with his forever humans! Structure and boundaries are not just important, but crucial for any doggo to thrive, and that's no different for Bingo. His forever humans will need to be committed to providing him with the necessary structure and boundaries for him to excel.

Adoptable Jake met santa this weekend, we can confirm he's on the nice list, and the only thing on his wishlist this year is a family to call his own!

💝ADOPT JAKE💝
M | 1Y | 23 KG | Mixed breed | Neutered | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate training - in progress | Good with dogs | Good with cats | Not kid tested | Playful | Curious | Happy guy | Fostered in Welland | Instagram: pupsiclesandpurringles

The name's Jake, nice to meet ya!

Before you say anything: Yes I know I'm cute. No, it didn't hurt when I fell from heaven. And I also have no idea how I'm still adoptable!

I'm a pretty fun guy. I like to play with ropes toys, balls, people, cats; really, I'll just about play with anyone and anything I can. Adventures are cool too, I still haven't seen much of the world so I wouldn't mind a hike or two - just make sure to let me stop and sniff the bushes!

Training is a passion of mine - I'll learn any commands for the right person (the one with treats). Crate training is a a bit of a different story though, some people might say I'm "clingy" or a little "nervous about being alone" or whatever - but I think they just can't handle how much love I have to give.

Anyway, I'm looking for a family who will show me around this crazy world and maybe teach me some new commands (keep the treats coming). Oh, and maybe introduce me to even more people to love me, feed me, scratch me... did I say feed me?

I wouldn't mind being an only child, but I love to play with other dogs, and my foster siblings (they're cats!) and I get along great. I haven't met any people kids yet but I bet they're great too! As long as there are boundaries and we're properly introduced, I think I'd get along with any type of sibling!

Learning that things aren't so scary after all.
Will gently sniff foster siblings (cats) - is playfully interested in them.
Loves new people, especially the ones who will offer gentle head scratches

If we sound like a good match, swipe right!
Oops... I mean fill out an application and my people will call your people!

2. The BATM core team will be offline Dec 21st - January 6th for a well deserved holiday break to spend time with their loved ones.

(Applications received before Dec 15th will still be processed, anything received after this date will be processed once we return on Jan 6th)

We're back at it with another

Remember this handsome boy Aspen from the summer? He was one of the many pups we pulled from a local shelter when they were in code red due to a kennel cough outbreak! We were able to spare this boy from an unfavourable fate thanks to an open and willing foster home.

He's been adopted for a while now, and his lovely dad's sent us such a heartwarming update. Here's what they had to say:

" It’s been almost 3 months since we adopted Aspen, and he has settled in so well with our family. Our cats are still a bit unsure, but they are coming around haha. We hope that soon they will be best friends! Everyone who has met him always talks about how amazing he is, what a special boy we have, and how good he is. He’s come so far since we first got him with training and has really made a lot of progress. We feel so privileged to have been able to take Aspen in, and we are looking forward to a long and happy life with him ❤️"

You can follow Aspen and his new life on Instagram at

We love hearing from our families! Please feel free to keep us in the loop and reach out for support anytime via [email protected]

🖤ADOPT NETO🖤
M | 4Y | 28.3 KG | Mixed Breed (part unicorn) | UTD on shots | Neutered | Dog selective | NO CATS | kid tested | Medium energy | Crate trained | Housebroken | Donkey Tested | Loves a good cuddle | PJ King | Fostered in Sharon, ON | 130 days in care
Our sweet boy Neto has settled in nicely with our friends and is ready for his forever family. We love it when our dogs get to spend some time with fosters who are also fantastic dog trainers; this helps set them up for success.
Neto loves his food and is very food-motivated. This has helped him pick up a few basic commands! His calm nature makes it easy for you to put on his leash and bathe him. Neto's still learning how to play, but with an introduction, he'll be a real goofball who loves fetch!

An ideal day for Neto would have lots of mental stimulation and training. He loves treats and puzzle toys, making him a great candidate to learn several tricks. He enjoys being outside but gets very nervous around moving vehicles (including bikes and scooters) and will need a confident owner who is good at setting and maintaining boundaries until he's settled in. It wouldn't hurt for his day to end with many cuddles with his forever family and a few treats.

Neto has a prey drive and would do well in a household with no cats or small animals. He's met a few dogs while on walks and prefers dogs who respect his space (we don't like strangers up in our space, either!). He would do well with a calm and confident doggy sibling who can also be respectful of his space until they get comfy with each other! Neto has met a dog-savvy child and did very well with this. He's been great meeting adults when they were calm and friendly.

Neto's ideal forever family would live in a quieter area and would be confident to help him through his nervousness and reactivity outside! If you're ready for an intelligent and loving dog to join your family, then Neto is the one for you! You'll never have a lonely day with Neto by your side.

💞ADOPT FRANNY💞

Female | 4Y | 28.75KG | Bully Mix | Spayed | UTD on shots | Good with dogs (resource guarding but manageable) | No cats | Good with older kids | Loves people | Obedient | Chill | Eager to please | Car rides are life | Fostered in Hamilton | Skin and possible food allergies | 230 days in care

We cannot believe she's still here with us in foster care. This beautiful sweet girl deserves to find her forever family. Please share and help us find them.

She may look like she's frowning most of the time, but she's actually one of the happiest girls you'll ever meet. She's the happiest when she's meeting new people (especially the ones with treats) or when she gets to be a passenger princess!
Franny is always down for a game of tug, but don't cry when she beats you! A short game followed by some cuddles and belly rubs would earn you a permanent place in her heart.

She does well with some dogs, but she can be standoffish to others at first. She is currently successfully cohabitating with another dog, and with slow and proper introductions, she'll do well with a permanent doggo sibling too! Franny can sometimes forget how strong she is when she plays, so she'd do best in a home without cats or smaller animals and no small children.

Poor Franny has some skin and possible food allergies and is currently on a daily medication to manage her symptoms She needs injections when her symptoms become too much for her.

Franny needs a forever family who will give her the structure that she thrives on, and keep up with her training. She's loves making people happy and she'll do anything for a treat, so keeping up with training should be fun!

Are you the furrever family she's been waiting for??
