Against all odds, he survived a devastating fire, and his courageous spirit has captured the hearts of everyone at . You can learn more about his incredible journey by visiting the adoption link provided below.

A Journey of Resilience
Del Fuego's journey hasn't been easy. He was transferred to us from another rescue, where he spent quite some time waiting for his forever home. With our care and dedication, he has been with us for over a year now, and we are determined to find him a loving family that will cherish him, quirks and all.

Sponsorship and Support
We were fortunate to have a generous supporter who offered to cover $400 of 's adoption fees, easing the path to his new home. Unfortunately, this supporter is no longer with us, and we have honored their commitment by covering the fees for all previously sponsored dogs. However, our resources are now depleted, and we need your help to continue this mission.

A Foster Hero Steps Forward
A wonderful has stepped up to care for Del Fuego, offering him the love and attention he deserves while he waits for his forever family. We believe that once people meet him in person, they will see what a fantastic companion he truly is. With a reduced adoption fee, we're confident that Del Fuego will soon find his perfect match.

How You Can Help
We are reaching out to our community to raise the remaining $400 needed for Del Fuego's adoption fee. Every small contribution can make a significant difference in his life. We will be posting a Zeffy link for donations—please ensure you mention Del Fuego's name when you contribute.

By reading his bio and learning more about his story, we hope you'll join us in paving the way for Del Fuego's bright future. Together, we can help him find the loving home he deserves, and ensure he is embraced by a family that will treasure him forever. Thank you for supporting this incredible boy on his journey to happiness.

About Ringo
Hello there! Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Ringo. I’m a charming little Maltese pup, and I know I'm a boy. I weigh about 17 pounds and am estimated to be between 2 to 3 years old. My journey hasn't been easy, as I've passed through several hands and eventually found myself tied to a porch rail. Fortunately, my story took a turn for the better thanks to some wonderful people.
My Rescue Story
The person who found me wasn’t planning to keep me and struggled to find anyone willing to adopt me. Sadly, their next step was to take me to the vet to be "put down." But just in the nick of time, Barking Mad Animal Rescue (BMAR) saw my picture on Facebook and rushed to save me. Neither they nor I understand why I was in that situation, but I'm grateful for the rescue.
Health and Personality
I’m in good health, heartworm negative, and pretty well housetrained. I enjoy the company of people and love playing with other dogs. Although my fur was shaved due to mats and neglect, I’m growing out to be quite the handsome fellow. BMAR made sure I'm up to date on all my vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and free of worms.
Why I’d Make a Great Family Member
The folks at BMAR believe that I would make a fantastic addition to any family. I'm friendly, playful, and eager to find a loving forever home. If you think we’d be a great match, you can fill out an application to adopt me!

Meet Dora: A Tiny Warrior
A Rough Start
Hello, my name is Dora. I'm just a few weeks old, and I've already faced quite a bit. My mama and I were rescued by the kind folks at from a terrible hoarding situation. The conditions were really bad, and my mama had never received any vaccinations. This means that when my siblings and I were born, we didn't have much immunity to protect us because we rely on our mama's milk for those important defenses.
A Fighting Spirit
Unfortunately, I've developed a respiratory problem, and being so tiny, I'm having a really hard time eating and thriving. It's been a challenge, but the amazing team at Barking Mad Animal Rescue is doing everything they can to help me. They've taken me to the vet, and now they're bottle-feeding me and keeping me warm with the help of some "warmies" that were generously donated by Angela a while back. These warmies are truly lifesaving for me right now.
How You Can Help
Despite all the love and care I'm receiving, my siblings and I still need a little extra help. If you could help us out with a Tractor Supply E-gift card, it would make a world of difference. This would help ensure that we get all the supplies we need to grow strong and healthy. You can find more information about how to help in the comments below. We also need funds for our vet as I will need to make several more trips in for check ups. All those links will be found in the comments.
A Hopeful Future
With your support, my siblings and I have a chance to grow up and become wonderful companions for someone. We hope to be adopted into loving homes where we can bring joy and happiness. Every little bit helps, and we are so grateful for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us on our journey to find our forever homes. 🐾❤️

20 minutes.

Loki and Freya had a death sentence.

Both horrendously skinny and scared, they were on “death row” at BARC.

Freya, malnourished, sick, fur nearly nonexistent was sentenced for being neglected on the streets of Houston.

Loki would have had the same sentence, but the “numbers” look better if they say something negative, so he was labeled “whale-eyed” (usually caused by fear, but often called aggression by overcrowded shelters) and he too was sentenced to death.

Fortunately they had the three factors that saved their lives: a networker, a supporter, and the rare open space available at BMAR.

We were alerted less than 4 hours before the deadline. We made it to them with 20 minutes to spare. A three hour drive just to get there, and one traffic hold up could have been their end.

After intensive rehab (please see prior posts about their story) they had another stroke of luck. Through the random world of Facebook, we “met” an amazing family who wanted to call Freya and Loki their own.

20 minutes more and we’d never get to see photos like these. And their tiny humans wouldn’t get to play dress up with their best friends. Their family would be missing a small piece of their hearts that they never would have known about.

BMAR needs all of you, as much as the dogs need BMAR.

Hi there. It's Saturday. This is Monkey here. My rescue mom thought you might want to see us today.

I was a dog that was never supposed to make it. Remember, they found me in a dumpster when I was a tiny baby? This is my sidekick, Gade.

We just thought you might want to see our picture to see that we're still alive and kicking 5 years later, and we are so happy at

I'll never leave my here. She takes care of me. When everybody said I'd never walk again, she went to work and proved them wrong!

Look at me now... this is REAL rescue!

It takes a lot to rehab dogs with birth defects....your donations make it happen!

A Rescue Story Update:

Hi there, followers. This is Tessa here.

To all of y'all who watched us get rescued on Thursday from the horrific hoarding case in Grimes County—you saw us biting the people, you saw our bad skin, and you saw that we were skinny and covered in fleas and ticks. We were really upset and snapping at people and pooping all over them 💩💩.

Well, here are our pictures today. It's only been two days and we're all settled in, and we're so much happier. 🐶🐶

Even when we got home on the bus 🚌🚌the same day we were picked up at the animal shelter, we didn't bite anybody when we came off. We were just so happy,😊😊 so calm, and so relieved to have all those bugs off of us.

We're already feeling better. When we got home, we came out of our bus crates and went into our new play area with food 😋😋 and water. We didn't bite anybody, and we're just happy as can be.

I know everyone that watched us on that live video is happy to see our little faces now, to see what a difference a day and a different place makes in our lives today.

If you would like to support us on this journey to rehabilitation, please look below to find all the ways to donate and buy things off our lists!

Also below you will find photos of where we came from....it was awful!

Hello...Alvin here! The folks at BMAR rescued me from a pretty bad place that had way too many dogs from people that were not taking care of us. There's a bunch of us here...like a really lot that are my age and younger...11 besides me! Plus all the mamas and aunties. None of us had ever been out of that house so we had never seen a doctor. BMAR says that is not safe for us and we had to start seeing a doctor right away. It costs a lot of money to make sure me and my little buddies are safe. Would anyone like to sponsor me or one of my 11 siblings with a "safe package"? It cost $50 and it has a microchip, 3 sets of vaccines and 3 sets of workers in it! That way we can always be found and we won't get sick. That way we will live to find homes... the ways you can help is in a link below!
