Meet Mudslide: A Heartwarming Rescue Story
Mudslide is a handsome and resilient 2-year-old Dogue De Bordeaux, tipping the scales at 72 pounds. His rich chocolate coat is marked by a prominent scar—a somber reminder of a difficult past. Before his rescue, Mudslide was discovered on a bed in the yard of his abandoned home, a place he was too frightened to leave. His reluctance to part with the only home he had ever known led him to be trapped by the Animal Control Officers (ACO) and taken to a high-risk shelter.
A Second Chance at Life
Dogs like Mudslide often face grim prospects in shelters, but fortune smiled upon him when he was transferred to Barking Mad Animal Rescue, thanks to the quick actions of our Hot Paws Rescue Partner. In this new environment, Mudslide began his journey toward healing—both physically and emotionally.
A Gentle Giant
Despite his past traumas, Mudslide has shown a remarkable ability to trust again. He has demonstrated a friendly disposition towards female dogs and remains non-reactive to other dogs passing by his kennel at the shelter. His adaptability and gentle nature have shone through, proving him to be a sweet and affectionate companion.
Health and Wellness
Mudslide is in excellent health, having received all his necessary vaccinations. He is heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered, ensuring he is ready for a loving forever home.
The Path to a Brighter Future
Mudslide's story is one of resilience and hope. With patience and care, he has flourished into a loving and loyal companion. He is now ready to find a family who will appreciate his gentle spirit and offer him the love and stability he deserves.
If you are looking to add a loyal friend to your family, consider opening your heart and home to Mudslide. His journey has been challenging, but with the right family, his future can be as bright as his personality.

Help Us Reach Our Tractor Repair Goal
Our Current Situation
We've embarked on a mission to gather support for a critical component of our farm operations—our indispensable tractor. So far, we have received contributions from 1 generous donor, but we still need 99 more to reach our goal of 100 donors giving $38 each. This will help us cover the $3,800 needed for essential tractor repairs.
Why We Need Your Help
Our tractor is more than just a machine; it's a lifeline for our farm operations. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the farm and ensuring the safety and well-being of our beloved dogs. Here’s how it makes a difference:
Moving Bedding Materials: We transport several tons of bedding at a time, ensuring our animals have comfortable living conditions.
Farm Maintenance: The tractor is essential for grading and mowing runs, containment areas, and the entire farm.
Storm Recovery: From fallen trees to damaged roofs, the tractor helps us clean up after storms and even hurricanes.
Well Maintenance: When the well breaks, we rely on the tractor to manage repairs ourselves, saving thousands in service costs.
Fence Building: With over a thousand uses, the tractor is vital for building and maintaining fences.
How You Can Help
Your support is crucial in keeping our farm operations running smoothly. Here are a few ways you can assist us:

A Heartfelt Thanksgiving from Barking Mad Animal Refuge
As the Thanksgiving season approaches, we often find ourselves reflecting on the reason behind our tireless dedication to the Barking Mad Animal Refuge (BMAR). Many have asked why we endure such long hours of backbreaking manual labor, braving the unforgiving Texas heat and biting cold of winter, just to rescue these dogs. The answer lies in stories like Jager's.
Jager's Journey to Happiness
Three years ago, Jager, a Malamute with a troubled past, came to us from another rescue that struggled to manage his serious behavioral issues. His outlook for a long and fulfilling life was bleak. But at BMAR, we believe in the power of patience and love. We welcomed Jager and began the process of decompression, allowing him to settle in, learn the ropes, and adjust to the rules and routine of our large facility at his own pace.
In about three months, Jager began to show remarkable progress. We have a strict policy of zero tolerance for aggression towards humans or other dogs. Instead of using harsh measures and anger, we establish ourselves as the "alphas" with immediate corrections as needed —providers of comfort, security, and care. Over time, Jager learned to trust us and let go of his fears.
From Troubled to Treasured
From the outset, Jager showed no signs of the severe issues that had been attributed to him. After 90 days, he underwent evaluations and consistently received glowing reports. He became affectionate, earning extra treats, playtime, and rides on the Kubotas. Jager blossomed into the beautiful dog we always knew he could be and was eventually deemed ready for a "regular dog home."
It took three long years, but then came Tammy from Canada. She decided it was time to give Jager a chance at life. In August, she took him into foster care, demonstrating the courage and dedication it takes to foster large adult dogs. However, it soon became clear that Jager had found his forever home. Tammy couldn't bear to part with him, and Jager became a permanent member of her family.
A True Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving, as we look at the photos of Jager—first at our refuge and now in his loving home—we are reminded of why we continue our mission at Barking Mad Animal Refuge. It's for the chance to transform the lives of dogs like Jager, to give them a second chance at happiness.
We hope Jager's story brings you joy and gratitude this Thanksgiving. Thank you for supporting our mission and believing in the power of second chances.
