Sponsor Update — A Heartfelt Thank You 💙

We’ve got 11 of 26 boxes checked so far, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you — truly. Every single person who’s donated, shared, or cheered us on has helped lift a little of the weight that rescue brings. 🐾

It’s been a long stretch of emergencies, slow adoptions, long-term fosters and constant juggling, but your support reminds me that we’re not doing this alone. Because of you, dogs who once had nothing now have a chance — and that means everything. 💔➡️💖

We still have a ways to go to get everyone vetted, groomed, and ready for their forever homes, but I know this village always shows up. Thank you for being part of every save.

🐾 Meet Doogie the Mini Poodle 🐩💙

Sometimes it really does take a village. A friend of one of our amazing adopters stepped up for sweet Doogie when his owner was hospitalized and could no longer care for him.

Not knowing where to turn, they started searching for help through places like Craigslist — thankfully, they knew Jade's dad Jason, who reached out to us right away to make sure Doogie would land somewhere safe and loved. 💕

And here’s the best part — one of our incredible fosters lives just 15 minutes from the family and was able to go pick him up right away. Talk about perfect timing! 🙌

Doogie is about 16 months old, a total sweetheart… though he’s also happy to double as a tiny personal alert system when strangers approach the fence 😂💪

We’re so happy he’s safe and part of the Barking Back family now.

🐾💖 Meet Risa & Allie — Our Havanese Sisters in Need 💖🐾

These two 4-year-old beauties came from a breeding situation and are finally learning what love, safety, and soft beds feel like. 🐶✨ They’re gentle, quiet girls who melt into you once they feel safe — but they still have a bit of a journey ahead before they’re ready for forever homes.

Risa, however, has already found her sense of humor! 🤭 She likes to stage “keep-away-from-foster-mom” revolts and thinks it’s absolutely hilarious to watch her foster mom run around trying to corral her, Allie, and anyone else who decides to join in the fun. 💨😂

They’re both on our Sponsor Checklist, but neither has had a single box checked yet 💔 — and they’re in need of vetting, spay and dental care. We just found out that dentals alone are $350 each plus bloodwork beforehand. We’re hoping to stay within the $750 estimate on the list 🤞🪥

We’ve filled 10 of 26 boxes so far, and every bit helps us move closer to getting these girls (and their rescue friends) fully vetted and ready for adoption.

If you’d like to sponsor Risa or Allie — even $5 makes a difference. Let’s get these girls the care they need and show them what love (and a little harmless mischief) really looks like. 💕

💔 A Real Talk Moment 💔

I’m Kim, the founder of BBAR, I'm usually very private about my personal life, but I feel like I need to share this. Since starting this rescue back in 2012, I never asked for help or did fundraisers. I had a good job and just quietly covered the costs because saving them mattered more than anything and this is back when adoption fees were so low, it barely covered spay/neuter.

Fast forward through years of late nights, missed work, and choosing rescue over all else… it’s caught up with me. I’ve poured everything into this — every spare dollar, every ounce of energy. Now, I’m on a 30-day pay schedule, my car’s hanging on by a thread because I'm always on rescue missions. Over the past 2 to 3 years we've done fundraisers more and more, because vet costs have skyrocketed and I simply can’t keep paying for it all alone, especially when my work is always suffering.

Rescue isn’t just my passion — it’s my purpose. But I can’t keep going like this. I thank God every day for those who have helped us help these furbabies and feel bad that the need is constant💔

We've filled 7 out of 25 boxes on this list. If you’ve ever thought about donating, sponsoring a pup, or even sharing a post — this is the moment it truly matters. 🙏

Tall grass, sunshine, and one very happy beagle — Roscoe’s living his best life. 🌾☀️
His secret? A skincare routine that’s all-natural: 100% organic grass exfoliant 🌿🤣

Watching him roll around without a care in the world is a reminder to slow down, enjoy the little things, and to adopt, don’t shop. 💛

🚨 We’re at a standstill — only 4 out of 24 boxes checked. 💔
These pups desperately need some help to get to their next chapter. 🐾✨

Adoptions have been at a standstill, which means we have no way to replenish funds until these babies start finding homes. Until then, we’re relying on our amazing village — the same one that’s carried us through so many tough stretches before. 💙

Every dollar, every share, every bit of support truly makes a difference right now. 🙏

The Three Aussie-teers: All for fluff, and fluff for all! 🐶🐶🐶

Meet Kooka, Baz, and Didgeridoo (aka Didgie) — three pint-sized bundles of Australian sunshine wrapped in the softest, silkiest fur you’ve ever touched. ☀️✨

If joy had fur and accents, it’d look exactly like this trio🐾

These mini Aussies are the perfect mix of fun, fluff, and cuddle puddles — one minute they’re zooming like they’ve had too much Vegemite toast, and the next they’re snuggled up like little koalas. 🐨💙

Kooka makes friends with everyone, Baz could fit in your tote bag, and Didgie’s coat shines like he’s been using Aussie-brand conditioner. 🌿🐶

In a house full of animal lovers, there’s always one who speaks their language. 🩵
Taffy’s foster dad didn’t just welcome her — he gave her comfort, a gentle bath, and a safe place to sleep right by his side. She’s already head-over-paws for him. 🛁🐶

💖Every family has a hero. The Hardys have a whole pack of them

A huge thank you to The Hardys for being the kind of foster family every rescue dreams of.
To Janelle — for always being so onboard and such a steady hand in every part of the rescue.
To Todd — for building fences and safe spaces when the pups arrive, and for being the big softy who makes them feel truly loved and safe.
To the kids — for all the playtime, laughter, and unconditional love you share.
And to Grandma and Grandpa next door — for spoiling our babies with walks, rides, and the kind of care that fills their little hearts.

It really does take a village — and this family embodies it completely. We love and appreciate you all so much. ❤️🐾

If anyone would like to help Taffy take her next step toward forever, please consider donating toward her upcoming spay:

CAN WE GET 2 SPONSORS THIS MORNING??

Poor shy Taffy is one of 2 girls going for majorly needed spa day today. Maybe removing those mats away from her eyes will help her see the world differently and cutting her "talons" will give her some comfort.

Help us check off some more boxes on the sponsor check list and get a tax write-off.
