***ATTENTION: SCAM ALERT***
SOME POS IS TRYING TO STEAL MONEY FROM US
Everyone who is connected to our venmo is getting a request like this, DO NOT PAY.... We would never ask for money that way.

If you get one it's imperative that you report the post to get it shut down.

Our venmo is fine if you have used in the past, this is a mimic account with a different bank account connected.

Zues on the mend from his Urinary Tract Infection and Bladder issues.

Once we get that squashed, he will have another ultrasound to see if there is something more concerning in his bladder.

We are still raising money and still selling our See's Candy (at todays event) and sweatshirts to cover medical costs.
All the sweatshirt videos are just a week and a half back, so please check them out or come to an event.

*we were able to get our invoice just under 1200.00 (a big thank you to VEG) and we're about to cover about 500.00 towards it. He will need to return in 10 days to see if there is anything else in his bladder. We are hopeful that this is it.

We have been eagerly waiting to announce another very successful adoption!

Do you remember Natalia Serafina? She is our specially abled girl who has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia. Natalia was found abandoned at an old construction site, left inside a ditch. This sweet angel would not have survived if it weren't for her heroic rescuer, Natalia, who we named her after.

Almost a year after her rescue, we received a message from a potential adopter. Her application was outstanding, and last week, we dropped Natalia off at her new home. Luciana was thrilled to welcome Natalia. She had thoughtfully prepared for the adoption, paying attention to every detail we discussed during our Zoom call. As a result, Natalia adjusted quickly and bonded with Luciana almost immediately.

Luciana shared some beautiful pictures of Natalia and expressed her feelings: "She is just the sweetest angel! I love her so much! She is exactly what I've been looking for."

Natalia was a hard foster to let go of but we could never rescue these special needs babies if we keep them all. We spent months training her how to use the litterbox to make sure she was adoptable. She was never fond of our clowder of kitties but she tolerated them and learned our routine. She would ask for cuddles any chance she got and climb every piece of furniture to get to us. We will miss this girl so much, but seeing her being so loved is the reason we continue to rescue.
Congratulations sweet Natalia!

We have a happy update about our brave little puppy, Radar. Despite the abuse he endured that led to his vision loss, he is beginning to flourish! He’s slowly gaining confidence and has started to play with the cats around him, while also learning important lessons about boundaries.

Although he still shows signs of mental stress from the past trauma—such as running to hide when we raise our voices or when he hears unfamiliar noises—this is an improvement from his previous reaction of just hiding and shaking whenever he heard sounds.

We’ve started clicker training, but we’re finding it challenging to find treats that suit his discerning taste. He has quite a refined nose and isn’t overly enthusiastic about treats just yet. However, he absolutely loves his crinkle toys!

We’re looking to introduce more interactive toys that can dispense treats, and we hope some of Radar’s fans might consider donating to help us make that happen. Thank you all for your support as we continue to help Radar on his journey!

A Bully Wins Again!!!!!

We have a very special adoption to announce that has been in the works for over a month.
It became a reality the week we lost Chelsea and we became aware Petey was dumped. My emotions that week were a roller coaster to say the least.
I needed to make double sure it was going to stick, before I could announce, however that was just self doubt after multiple negative things clouded my focus.

We try really hard to do right by the animal as every single rescue animal has been dumped/abandoned/disappointed by a human, and that's at a minimum. The tragedy goes up from there, and we don't want to repeat it at all costs.

Tank has found his forever home, and has been living a wonderful life with his new family since February. They lived a bit far, but I knew they were the right family for him for so many reasons.

I went to see him today, and when I arrived he came running around the couch to greet me. He is so happy with his family and you could see it all over him.
Sometimes I get these crazy ideas of what I want for a dog, and his was one of the craziest wants.
I have said over and over that I felt that he was the type of dog that I could see in a sidecar on a motorcycle and with teenagers. Well little did I know, he got both....well not exactly a sidecar but close. (We knew about the teens) lol. I didn't know his new dad rode one at times.

We couldn't be happier for Tank and that he has so much of a better life than with those POS that had him before.

Rescue Matters and Changes Lives.

The BIGGEST congratulations to our Mr Tank.💋

Drug addiction is a profoundly tragic illness that affects not only individuals but also the innocent lives around them. The collateral damage often includes vulnerable animals and children who suffer in silence due to the choices of others.

Take Peeta, a one-and-a-half-year-old cat, as an example. His journey is one of love that turned into neglect. Once cherished as a kitten, Peeta's life took a dark turn when his owner fell into the grip of addiction. Left behind and alone, he endured unimaginable pain until a kind-hearted person intervened, rescuing him and bringing him to a shelter. Upon his arrival, it was heartbreaking to see the extent of his suffering: one of his eyes was bulging from an old injury, and his beautiful coat was matted and reeking of neglect. His microchip led back to his owner, who sadly showed no interest in him.

It's truly disgraceful that those responsible for Peeta’s anguish abandoned him when he needed them the most. Fortunately, a family member of the owner—a compassionate advocate for animals—has stepped in to help. While they can't provide Peeta with a forever home themselves, their willingness to foster him and support his recovery is a beacon of hope.

Peeta deserves a loving home where he will never again face neglect or abandonment. Every animal is worthy of love and care, and it's our responsibility to be their voices, fighting for those who cannot advocate for themselves.

If you are interested in adopting Peeta or any of our kitties in need please visit our website at www.ebarr.org.

Remember we are very overprotective with these guys and an application if the 1st step in the process.

BTW, that STUPUD name was changed immediately. The name came from his chip, so this is what the humans named him that decided they didn't want to pick him up for almost a month after they were contacted. Yeah....let's name a bully mix "Venom," and abandon him. Wonderful people!!!!

It is St Pittys Month and to be aware of all things Pitty, you need to understand why so many rescues work so hard for this breed.

I'm a realist and I know that there has been challenging dogs in every breed including Pit Bulls and the like however this is not the place to highlight the negative parts of that breed. When people start to tell me a negative story about a pitbull.I cut them off and I tend to walk away.Because honestly I don't need to hear it.
We choose to highlight all the good ones. Every time March comes around, I'm shocked at the rescues we've done over the years and the absolute terrible conditions some of these pittys have been left in by people. We have never experienced that with any other breed with the exception of the frenchies coming up now.

We are halfway through the month so if you have a pit bull from us, please check-in and remind us and tell us the story.

St Pitty Memorial Post

Our story began in March 2018
Here is a piece of the many posts I wrote:
"He has scars and wounds in various stages of healing on each and every part of his body, especially his face, ears and neck. He seems to be a wonderful dog with the kindest heart. He likes to feel your hands on his face and leans into you when you pet him, eventhough there are cuts, bruising and swelling all over.
We will never know what happened to this sweet boy before he found us, but its our job to make sure he never spends another day even close to the life he had before. He is a Lab/Pit Bull mix and it shows. He is completely trusting of us, even though he has been failed on more days by humans than not; that is the heart of a Pit Bull. He is goofy and has energy to spare; that’s the soul of a lab.
He picked my house, somehow he knew that this was the right welcome mat to rest on, we will never know but I have a feeling that he knew somehow. So here he is…… and he is safe…… and he will be loved forever."
I named him Saint; because what he survived and eventually escaped from was horrific neglect and abuse by the hands of humans and other dogs. He still has a heart of gold. Thank god his story didn't end being tortured in that yard, and trust me I lookd for that yard, but was never able to locate it.

He was with Ebarr for almost a year until we found the right family.

Then in 2019 we passed the baton to his new family. His new family knew his story well and promised he would be loved every day for the rest of his life.......and he was. He was with them for almost 4 years, and clearly charished each day.
His mom sent me this message the other day,
"On Wednesday February 8th Saint was surrounded by all 4 of us as we said our goodbyes and shared our favorite memories of him. This has been really hard on all of us. My oldest daughter especially her and Saint formed a special bond. He would follow her everywhere and my daughter would take him with her wherever she could. We miss him so much and wish we could have had longer with him. We are so thankful for being able to have him as part of our family."

This is one of the many reasons why rescues are so important. Support them..........they all work hard everyday to deal with things that most humans can't.

I will never forget that freezing morning when I found a white beat up Pit Bull curled up on my welcome mat at 5am. I had no plan but knew he found that mat for a reason. Maybe he knew
somehow I was a rescuer.....who knows. I have experienced many things that I can not explain doing rescue, but this will always stand out as my most amazing story. I have several pictures of him in my office that have moved houses with me. He has always been a shining example of what animals and people can go through at the hands of humans and come out the other side and still be ok, Saint and I are similar in that respect.

If you don't know saints full story you can go back to March 2018 and you will find his full story. You will recognize him by his big goofy smile on his face that was always there. I often think back to that day he found my house, I believe he knew what he was doing all along.
See you later big guy.......

When I tell you all of our dogs are family, we really mean it.

Just another story of a dog who was thrown away in the local city of Antioch.

This hippo guy came into the shelter about a month ago, with a chip. (Where do you think that stupid name Venom came from? Obviously to inflate some humans ego.........lame)

He was brought in by a person who claimed they "Found him," beat up (2nd pic) and in a box (weird).
At first glance , due to his injuries , the shelter thought he had been hit on a car and rolled, after careful examination puncture wounds could be see on his cheeks. Maybe attacked while being hit by a car.......nothing suprises me anymore.

We don't know what came first:
Abandonment
Attacked
Car
Box
But we do know nobody came to pick him up after he had been abandoned and hurt. He is very friendly so we know he was connected to people.

And to just make this guys story even sadder, he has a grade 4 heart murmer which means he will need to be told when he has had enough playing. These types of dogs don't really need to go on walks, they don't need to have a lot of exercise and we prefer he doesn't. He is a couch potato type doggie. He is a bully mix about 2 years old.

He has been cleaned up, altered, and is currently dealing with his abandonment issues caused by a human.

We are calling him Bubba/Bubbles/Bubbaroni/etc.
He will be joining us at our adoption event tomorrow at Pet Food Express in Martinez starting at 11am for words of encouragement, pats/pets, and belly rubs.

*3rd pic is Bubba falling asleep in his new comfy foster home.

If you would like to donate to his continued care, please see the link below.

Meet Chuck, a winsome 6-month-old tripod cat with a heart full of sweetness! This little guy may be a bit shy at first, but give him a gentle touch and he transforms into a delightful bundle of purrs.

Chuck is on the lookout for a loving home that can help him blossom and build his confidence around humans. He absolutely thrives on companionship, especially from other cats, and would be overjoyed in a forever home with lively, friendly feline friends.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Chuck, we’d love to hear from you! Please fill out this https://www.ebarr.org/cats-kittens form and send it to [email protected]. Don’t forget to mention your interest in adopting Chuck! Let’s help this sweet kitty find his perfect match!
