Barking Back Rescue

What do you do when a shelter puts out an all call that a hurricane is coming with them in its’ path and they are full to the brim with a litter of pups in an outdoor kennel? Naturally you take all six of them and bring them to safety. 🌪️✈️ 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 This sweet bunch is three months old and about 17 pounds each, making them the perfect size. They are looking for fosters and forever homes.

The pups are extremely friendly to everyone and everything. Foster homes allow pups to get used to home environments and then go off to their forever homes. If you’ve considered fostering in the past and want to get started, these are the perfect pups to do so with!

In 2016 I received an email from a shelter in Florida about a boxer named Chico. Him and his sister were turned into the kill shelter and his sister was adopted immediately, but Chico had some issues and they were "evaluating him." He ended up needing rescue to take him and work with him.
I was in NY already by this point but my sister agreed to foster him while I set transport for NY and we got him out. We, of course, renamed him Charlie. Turned out Charlie had some aggression issues. You never knew what was going to set him off because he mostly loved people, but he had an insecurity about him that caused him to lash out sometimes. I sent him to multiple trainers.
He had a few fights with other dogs over the years, had bitten one of my sisters pretty badly and went at another one. Needless to say, I was too afraid to ever release him to anyone else, but could never bring myself to put him down, even though I was on the receiving end of his bite a few times after he went after one of my pups. Over the years he had gotten so much better, though. He really was a good boy, just had to have someone who understood him. He was loveable and obedient.
Over the last few months his weight started to decline, but the last week it was so rapid that it was frightening. But he was still eating, drinking, jumping on the furniture and motor skills were fine. But today he finally stopped eating. You could see every bone by this point. I couldn't let another day go by. I knew it was time.

REST IN PEACE CHARLIE
Your favorite boy Chevy will be there waiting for you.

Every year far too many dogs lose their lives or require hospitalization to something completely avoidable. This is a great resource!

Meet the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful, inside and out, furry companion you could ever hope to make part of your family. This gentle boy is Andy. He's three-quarters Australian Shepherd, one-quarter Collie. He has the most incredible temperament. He is kind and gentle to all and loves his human. He's a slight bit shy upon first meeting, but he is now with a foster that can get him some extra socialization. He did so amazing at the Yoga adoption event. Was shy at first because everything was all new to him, but ventured out to check on everyone during class. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Quite the contrary, he was being bullied by his foster brother and only want to try to get away or make his brother like him. He's just turning 7 months old and is neutered and up to date on his shots. He's approx. 35lbs and don't know that he will get too much bigger. He will ask to climb up on the bed or couch with you and won't do so unless you tell him it's okay. And then just wants to be near you and stare at you and give you nudges to pet him or soft kisses on your hand to let you know he's there.

ALERT: FINALLY BUSTED OUT OF THE BIG-HOUSE, FOSTER NEEDED

Sweet Timmy has spent nearly his entire life in a shelter. He is a 10-month-old Doberman who was confiscated along with 14 others who were living in a car with their breeder...yes, you heard that right...A CAR and 15 Dobermans. He was not even two months old at the time. Unfortunately, the case took 8 MONTHS to come to a conclusion, and there he sat. Timmy was born with a severe head tilt. And while it has gotten better, it is still present. Mostly when he stops moving. We will need to have him in for a neuro consult, but it's not easy getting an appointment these days. He will need a temp foster. He has one, but their resident dog isn't too fond of other large dogs. They do best with fostering puppies. They are making it work short-term and keeping them separated, but ideally, another foster would be best. He's wonderful with other dogs and very sweet and goofy. He has lived most of his life in a kennel situation so he really is ready to live his best life.

Ty update

Little man did great with his surgery. He was released on Sunday. We had 2 people from AMC want to adopt him before he even left the hospital. He's such a charming little guy. Successful heart surgery and a new mom and dad all in 2 days. What better person than an ER vet to adopt this baby?

Thank you to everyone who donated to his and Sweet Thumper's fundraiser. We couldn't do it without you. And we still have a road ahead of us for Thumper, hopefully a longer one than it currently seems.

TO ALL MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS, URGENT DESPERATE PLEA
CAN YOU PLEASE SPARE JUST $5, LESS THAN A STARBUCKS COFFEE (or any amount will really help)

The boys are scheduled for heart surgery on Saturday, we are to drop them off on Friday morning for further testing and getting them ready for the big day.
We were given a grant of $5500 per pup, but the out-of-pocket costs could still be $7000, not including the thousands we've already spent. WE DON'T HAVE IT. We will have to cancel at least one of their surgeries if we can't raise more. If we cancel, we lose the grant and then we would have to come up with the 5500 on top of the rest. We won't be able to. These 4-month-old babies have a real chance at a full life with this surgery. PLEASE if everyone on my friends list or on our page gives just $5, $10 or even just a $1 if that's all you can afford, it will help greatly.

DONATIONS DESPERATELY NEEDED (LINK BELOW)

It's Crunch Time. We really need your help. We have just 2 weeks to raise money for the boys' surgeries. They are scheduled for surgery on 1/27/24 with the amazing cardiology team at The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center. We were approved for a grant from AMC but we will still be responsible for about $7,000 in out of pocket costs that we absolutely cannot afford for the boys to have their heart surgeries. We are already a few thousand out of pocket to get to this point. We are just a small rescue. We really need help on this. Every single dollar helps.
If we don't do it now, we lose the grants and run the risk of losing one of these magnificent happy babies.
Please donate and share. Thank you so much.

Meet Marshy,
Marshy aka Marshall aka Marshmallow is a 1yo Standard Goldendoodle. He was given up by his family, we suspect it was due to his higher energy and size and they thought they were getting a floofy little goldendoodle. He has had some formal training, but still has puppy-like behavior, i.e. mouthing and jumping and gets excitable. He is house trained and well behaved and a very sweet playful boy that will need an active family that is looking for a fun dog. Due to this and his size, we would prefer him to go into an adult home so as not to knock down any small children. Currently located in Middletown, NY.

Another thing Covid did was make it so hard for pups to get a family, no matter how amazing they are. Sweet Bandit is still looking for his new furever home. It is going on one year in his foster home. This poor guy lost his family due to no fault of his own. He was adopted almost four years ago as a puppy and the right thing wasn't done by him and his fur brother and we had to get them "trucked" all the way back to NY from Utah where his family moved to.
He's truly a gem and would make a wonderful furry family member. His favorite pasttime is trying to get his foster sister to play tug-o-war with him or patrol the yard for weak spots in the fence so he can go have a jaunt around the neighborhood and scare his foster mom LOL, so a secure fence will be needed.
He is crated when no one is home, but he's not the biggest fan of a crate, so someone who isn't gone terribly long hours would be best for him but in his own home he probably wouldn't have to be crated anyway. He's good in the house.
He grew up with a household FULL of children, but we would recommend children 10 and up. He is super loveable and loves to play with other dogs. He is a four-year-old lab mix, about 70lbs. His foster home is currently located in West Milford, NJ. (VIDEOS in Comments)

Happy Holidays Village,

The boys went in for their second echocardiograms and bubble studies on 12/15 at The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center. Ty's PDA is a bit easier than Thumper's. The size of Thump's was not able to be seen on the echo. We were in fear he wouldn't be a surgical candidate and would have to live as long as he could. However, they also did further tests and found that even though his surgery will be more risky, they both have a fighting chance to repair the damage and give them a good life and ability to find their own forever homes.

We really are in desperate need of your HELP. We are a small organization and overworked, so we don't post a lot of the behind the scenes we have going on, but we have had a lot of medical cases this year and we are, for lack of a better word, Broke. The boys were given up to rescue due to heart murmurs that need immediate attention, the breeder's other option was euthanasia. How could we say no?

Although these babies are the happiest, most loveable little boys and appear healthy, you immediately know something is wrong when you pick them up and feel their thumping heartbeat. We need to give them a chance. They have so much life and love to give.

100% of your donations goes to cover medical costs for the rescue pups. One heart surgery is super expensive, but two is out of the realm for a small rescue. If we are fortunate enough to raise more than is needed for these boys, the rest will still go to our medical cases, as our Director has a passion for the sick and broken underdogs. Please find it in your heart during this holiday season to help these pups. Share in all your social networks. Truly every penny helps, so even if you can only give $5, it will help.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
- The Barking Back Rescue Team

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN OVER OUR "BROKEN-HEARTED" PUPS.
Prayers and Donations for Thumper and Ty needed more than ever.

Feelings about the news we got today after the boys' echos are hard to put into words, other than terrifying and devastating.

I cry every time I say this out loud. Thumper is believed to have an aortic aneurysm. Meaning, even if he got too excited, he could just fall down and die. Besides him just being a 10-week-old puppy and excited is their natural state of being, he's totally a people lover and will climb gates and move mountains to get to his person, so keeping him calm will be a full-time job. Further testing with a cardiologist is needed to make the official diagnosis, except the soonest you can get an appointment to see a veterinary cardiologist is end of January. We will have to take him thorough the emergency room of the hospital and hope that the severity of his case kicks it up to the cardiology department and gets us in immediately. We know further imaging will be expensive and then we honestly have no idea where it will go from there. Just praying that it's maybe something else that will be easier to repair. He's the sweetest and most well-behaved puppy and just a bundle of love and joy.

As for Beautiful little Ty, essentially he has 4 different issues with his heart. His is not immediately life-threatening, but it is most certainly he will need two procedures, one is a PDA occlusion, which we are going to send his records in to the team AMC that did Kasha's surgery and pray we can get some sort of grant, but that would only be the first part of his treatment. Depending on if repairing that defect causes his septal wall defect to become more pronounced, he could need a cardiopulmonary bypass. There are only about 10 doctors that currently do that in the country.

We really do need help for these boys. We're already about $1000 in for their initial vet visits and echocardiograms. We will now be moving into specialist territory and large scale testing. We simply cannot afford it, but how can we "not afford" to do it for them? Please consider giving something, anything, for them. We will keep everyone continually updated.

Over a year in the making. I could not be happier with the fit, so the wait was soooo worth it for sweet, nervous Paris.
Have a happy life my beautiful girl. I'll miss you.

Did you know that EUTHANASIA RATE is greatly increased, nearly double or triple, during the holiday season, because people want to go away or have their holidays free and dump their animals in shelters and there's no enough room to house them.

Why not Find your local rescue or shelter and open your home to an animal in need this holiday season. Even if it's only during the weeks of the holiday, to give them extra time to find a family or longer term foster or give them a happy time for at least the short time in their life.

Hanz is looking for a new home. Unfortunately, the home that adopted him wasn't the right fit couple with the fact the family is having two major health crises. He would do best with a home with teenage children, as younger ones make him nervous. He's a Golden Cavapoo (golden retriever/cavapoo mix) only 19lbs and 8 months old. He's a really good sweet boy. He loves to play with his toys. It may also be that the family doesn't have any other pups and he really does love other dogs. Both his prior foster homes had dogs. He would probably do best with a furry playmate in his new home.

Adopted yayyyy

I'm putting out a plea for the sweetest girl I know. This is Paris. She is a 2.5yo Bernedoodle.
This Beautiful Girl came from a breeder farm. When we got her we were told she was also loved though, and have pics of her with the kids. She is quite the anomaly, as she is nervous, but it's more of walking through thresholds and walking past large inanimate objects that she finds highly suspicious. She loves children, but would do better in maybe a one or two-child home as too many kids can get too noisy. She is an absolute LOVE. She loves to be pet and is very playful. She just needs a few to get used to her new surroundings. When she goes outside, she needs to run through the doorway, that includes coming back in. Something about the threshold freaks her out. She's been known to run into a sliding glass door because she didn't realize it was there as she was coming back in. This is all fixable to anyone willing to give her a little time and help her get past it. She is so worth it. She's truly wonderful. Just about the sweetest thing you've ever met.
Be aware, though, that she a wire-haired Bernie. She sheds. Not all doodles are non-shedding. We would be willing to do an adoption with a contingent of reversing the adoption fee within a certain time frame to allow the family to make sure they can help her and that she's a good fit. We just want someone to give her the love she deserves and is really looking for. (Video in comments)

Meet Gomez aka Brando, depending which foster mom you're talking to ;P

What can I say about the perfect pup? Except, well....HE'S PERFECT. This boy is as soft, fluffy and genuinely sweet as he looks in his pictures. He is so amazingly laid back and loveable that when people meet him they are shocked to find out he's only just turning 4 months old (also because he's over 40lbs LOL)
He loves attention and is so easy going with everyone.
He is an extra large breed and a purebred Anatolian Shepherd, so large dog experience required. He was bred to guard livestock, so socialization and proper training for him as a pup is very necessary to keep him as the kind and loving soul he is. He does amazing in social gatherings and enjoys attention from all.
