🖤ADOPT WILLY🖤
M | 10M | 20 KG | Mixed Breed | to be neutered | UTD on shots | Dog tested | No cats | Not kid tested | Fostered in Sharon | Energetic | Happy | Intelligent

Our wonderful Wilfred is nothing if not an intelligent boi. Eager to learn tricks that will impress the humans. Yet don’t let that fool you, Wilfred is simply a multifaceted canine. Our wild W***y can give big puppy energy!

With endless energy and excitement to spare, you will never have a dull moment with this one! Our agility master is just happy the world exists and would be beyond elated to have the perfect family to be a part of his world. He is a playful spirit but a bit shy and reserved in new situations. He is working on this with his wonderful foster and will need some continued guidance with this!

W***y hasn’t had a lot of experience around young ones but we believe he may do best with older kids. Cats are not W***y’s cup of tea. He is working through his reactivity with his foster - in time, with proper guidance, structure and boundaries he could do will with another respectful dog.

W***y does have his pushy moments, and does use his mouth to try to get something he wants - he is working through this with his foster, but will need a family who is comfortable continuing to include structure and boundaries into his day to day life, and teach him that this isn't the way!

Overflowing with affection, he is not afraid to show you how much he loves you! If you are looking for a ride-or-die kinda doggo that will give you the thrills, the joys and everything in between, come and adopt our baby W***y! He can not wait to have a forever family to love the heck out of!

🖤FOSTER SUGGA🖤
M | 5Y | 26.3 KG | MIXED BREED | to be neutered | UTD on shots | Dog tested | Not kid or cat tested |

The sweetest boy you'll ever meet.

Sugga, the incredibly handsome mister, is currently spending his days at a local shelter, lying quietly on his bed. He's friendly with all the humans he meets and very gentle-mannered. Upon meeting new friends, he is polite and will sit before you, hoping you have a treat for him.

Sugga, like many dogs in Hamilton (and many cities across Ontario), has found himself at this shelter as a stray. No, he's not actually a stray - he is a dog that has been dumped outside the shelter. He is a dog that someone housed and loved for many years, that for whatever reason it may be- decided to part ways by leaving him outside of a shelter.

Due to this, we have no history of Sugga; all the information we have will be based on his assessment done by shelter staff.

After meeting Sugga, it's clear as day he was once a cherished member of someone's family. Someone put work into him and loved him. He knows his basic commands, is sociable and is genuinely a very well-balanced pup.

He did very well meeting another dog and doesn't pay much attention to the other dogs in their runs as he walks by. Unfortunately, we cannot cat or kid-test Sugga - but we believe he'd do well in a family with a dog-savvy child.

We are currently seeking a foster for this sweet boy, as although he is safe in the shelter right now, it does not mean his time won't run short. This shelter is city-run, meaning that once they’re full - they legally have to euthanize for space as it is their obligation to have open spaces available.

Meaning they may not be safe for long.

If you cannot foster him, we will also need approximately $500 for his neuter and our standard intake vetting that every pet that comes into our care receives. You can donate to [email protected] if you'd like to help!

Please share and help us find placement for this boy! Time is of the essence.

If you can foster, please apply.

Today Shelby & Sarah spent family day socializing with all the dogs at the local shelter who don’t have a family of their own to celebrate the holiday with.

We are hoping you see these faces, and consider temporarily opening up your heart and home to one of them.

Although these dogs are alright and considered safe right now, this is a shelter that once they’re full - they legally have to euthanize for space as they are city owned and operated and it is their obligation to have open spaces available.

Meaning they may not be safe for long.

We’d love to bring a couple of them into foster care - but we need some of the good folks reading this to step up and foster one of them.

Fill out a foster application today and be a hero 💕

🖤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 kids yet, but I bet they're great too! As long as there are boundaries and we're properly introduced, I'd get along with any type of sibling!

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

🖤ADOPT JOAN JETT🖤

F | 2Y | 25.4 KG | Mixed Breed | UTD on shots | Spayed | Dog tested - proper introductions needed | Cat tested | Kid tested - Dog saavy kids | High energy | Playful | Affectionate | Gentle | Fostered in Sarnia | Instagram:

Joan Jett is getting the (new) band back together (for the first time)!

This little rockstar has almost as much energy as she does love to give. She's a natural lead vocalist who likes to show it off, but she's quickly learning that she doesn't need to show off to everyone. She's picking up the "place" command and is learning not to sing when people come over, or the mailman - who her foster mom insists is trustworthy (she's still not convinced) - stops by, or when she just needs a little downtime.

Exploring the outdoors is her passion - the wind in her ears, the sun on her fur, the smell of garbage day fresh in the air. Sometimes she even gets a little too excited and forgets that her foster mom only has two legs - so she's been working hard and succeeding at learning "heel."

Joan Jett is almost too smart for her own good. She's fluent in "treat," which means she'll pick up what you're putting down... as long there's a treat that comes down with it. Just don't be surprised if she outsmarts you sometimes, okay?

She currently coexists well with her two foster siblings (fellow doggos) and she'd likely do well with a forever doggy sibling if proper introductions are given and boundaries are in place. She has been cat tested and - given proper introductions and boundaries - she could do well with a feline sibling! She also does well with dog-savvy kids and would love a human kid to grow up with as well.

Apply to bring this little lady home before she goes on tour and you miss your chance!

Are you team CATS 🐱 or team DOGS 🐶 ?!

In honour of Super Bowl Sunday, we’re having a “Six Dollar Sunday” to let the animals we help in on the fun! 🏈

We’re hoping to raise $318 (for our upcoming sterilization clinic) this Super Bowl by asking a football teams’ worth (53) of people to donate $6 each, and “betting” on a life. Your donation will help provide life altering care to dogs in need and aid in controlling the devastating street dog population crisis in Mexico via a free sterilization clinic & supplies.

The link to donate can be found in our bio! 🖤🐾

Rebecca resides in Hamilton, ON and has been teaching yoga for 1.5 years in both Oakville & Burlington locations. She says her two adopted cats make for the best practice buddies and are always nearby, reminding her to stay present and enjoy the flow. Rebecca has found her yoga journey to be a very rewarding one and we’re so grateful to her for sharing some of her knowledge with us! 🖤

🖤FOSTER-TO-ADOPT MENA🖤

F | 10M | Domestic Short Hair | To be spayed | Litterbox Trained | Not dog, kid, or cat-tested | Fostered in Hamilton, ON

Meet Mena, the new calico in town! With her beautiful fur and soulful eyes, it's no surprise how easy it is to fall in love with her! Mena is a playful and affectionate lap cat who likes to be held and pet all day.

An ideal day for Mena would be spent lounging around the house, right next to her forever family for lots and lots of pets. She would love a long nap in the afternoon and someone to play with in the evenings when she's the most energetic.

Mena can be shy and nervous when first meeting new people, but she is as affectionate as can be after she warms up to you. She is also not afraid to let you know when she no longer wants any pets with a little nip or scratch. Although she has not met any kids, cats, or dogs yet, she may do well with a doggy or kitty sibling with proper introductions. She may also do well with older, cat-savvy kids, as she has bitten and scratched a few times before when overstimulated.

If you're ready to welcome a sweet and friendly cat to your family, Mena is the one for you! You'll no longer be lonely with Mena to keep you company all day long.

Beau is a local owner surrender, who is the sweetest little man!
He will be spending time with Aida, who is now on her 10th BATM foster. We were able to help Beau because of open and loving foster homes like Aida!

5 dogs who have gone unnoticed for the better part of 200 days.
No apps come in, no inquiries.
Months keep passing, and these guys are still here with us.

💙 Neto
🩷 Pandora
🩷 Joan Jett
🩷 Tahi
💙 Bingo

Now, there are no time limits on how long a dog will remain in care with us; they're in care until a proper family that fits their needs is found... it just makes us all feel a little discouraged when such wonderful dogs sit patiently, waiting for a family to call their own. Each day, it continues not to happen.

We've done adoption events, we've done reels and lots of sharing!

All their bio's have been shared on our page many times!
Please consider sharing them on socials so that they can be seen,

This April, a group of Bark at the Moon Animal Rescue volunteers will head back down to Puebla, Mexico, to host our third annual sterilization clinic for our partners, the Dog-Go Project.

The goal is to host a free sterilization clinic in the low-income areas surrounding Funky Town Puebla, the shelter we have partnered closely with for the last four years.

Not only does this help us curb the stray/homeless pet population, but it’s also a fantastic opportunity to supply the locals with necessary resources and provide them with other supplies they may need. We will also offer collars, leashes and supplies to animals in need.

It costs approximately $22 per procedure (not factoring in the space’s rental and the medical professionals’ labour). This year, we’ve doubled our goal. This means we plan to sterilize 200 pets, making our fundraising goal $4,400

Only through your financial support can we continue our work to end the suffering of homeless/stray animals.

According to data from the State of Pet Homelessness Project, between 2022 and 2023, a staggering 18.8 million dogs call the streets of Mexico their home, while a further 96 thousand seek refuge in shelters. One pair of unspayed/unneutered dogs and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years. Cats can have up to 3 litters per year, with an average of 4-6 kittens per litter, and dogs can have up to 2 litters per year, with an average of 6-10 puppies per litter. When you do the math, our clinics’ impact is massive!

In addition to overpopulation control, spaying and neutering free-roaming / stray pets can reduce the risk of reproductive system cancers, infections, and other illnesses.

If you have the capacity to donate, please consider making a contribution to this mission - the link is below💕
