Please consider donating to this weeks vet bills....there are many heartaches coming today as well as ones we can save later in the week (hopefully).
Spare a kind word to Charlotte (&Kenny for helping out) as she will be the ones to take the beloveds to the vet. our regular crew is on the road to West Texas to pick up dogs bound for Canada, I have the flu....and the unavoidable things trickle down to the other volunteers.

This is a very bad day for our rescue.

Please help us to continue to do rescue the right way.... Not shirking our duties but forever stepping up to the plate....

Take a good look at these 3 dogs. This is what rescue is about…not the cute little fluffy dogs all the rescues are now adopting out -including us. Let me tell you why….because the cuties are the ones people want to adopt.

Not these 3…they are special needs dogs. These are dogs in need of rescue, the ones BMAR keeps stepping up for – to the detriment of our rescue. We are failing as a rescue because we keep taking them in. the needy ones, the real voiceless, the ones that need us. We know our rescue is failing because we have not received one darn cent to help us get them 3000 miles to another country to fosters. That is failing…we don’t have the money to rescue needy dogs without donations. BMAR has done the work, made sure they were vetted, secured health certificates….and we cannot raise funds to send them to homes. A vicious circle. Do we continue to help the ones that really need help? Or do we stop taking them in favor of little adoptable dogs?

1. Mona…in a wheel chair. $1000’s spent on her.
2. Dyse….10 year old abused senior. $800+ spent on dental, blood panels, test, chem profiles, still very thin but we are working on it
3. Trixie an unknown origins pittie been here 6 years. Really bad eye injury, wound up having it removed. $1269 just for that.

We had donations for some of the vet work, some of it we ponied up out of our pockets and now we can’t raise a damn cent to chip on the $1800 we need to get them into foster homes. There are no adoption fees for these special need dogs. We post them everywhere and we receive no interest

Gone are the days of supporting real rescues that still take the dogs that really need rescue…special needs dogs: the old, the injured, the disabled. It has all been replaced by the new set who are interested in egos and glory.

We humbly beg for donations to chip in for these 3 very special souls.
Phasing out our real rescues is becoming clear to all of us…and it’s a sad day for our rescue world.

Sorry folks…I have a really bad case of the flu and have failed the dogs for a few days. Hopefully back on track for a few hours a day.

We have an urgent situation on several fronts…the first one is immediate. With Myron & JR on the road to West Texas to pick up the CMC2 dogs… we are short staffed here. And to top it off, our vet was closed all last week but will open tomorrow.

We need URGENT vet funds by any means available and you can even call direct in to Dr. Rach tomorrow morning at 409-787-2113.

We have 3 senior dogs that had quality of life decline rapidly needing to make their last ride tomorrow with a 4th dog that has a serious injury that may be life ending. We tried to keep infection down and field dress the wounds as best we could. Before judging, remember that there are no emergency clinics in close range here nor do our finances allow us to attend one. One of the main reasons people dump dogs in our area is the lack of vet care.

One of our dogs that will attend the final destination tomorrow is Bug our beloved pittie of 16 years. She has lived well past her normal life span. If you remember we adopted her out 3 times and the 3rd time we had to pick her up in horrid condition she became a permanent resident at sanctuary house and no longer available for adoption. It also sealed the nail in the coffin for Texas and Louisiana adoptions and we focused on getting our dogs out of the state a decision we have never regretted. People in Texas and Louisiana do not act right and should never have animals. Yes, I am Texan and usually proud of my state…but NOT where it concerns general population care of animals. About 1% of people we deal with are really good animal caretakers, the rest are criminal. Our Bug has lived here for years being pampered and loved.

Bug is no longer mobile despite her injections and medications. She has always been a fasitdious gal and now she cannot control her body functions and the mess gets all over her....she cries about it. As painful as it is...I made the decision so the buck stops with me. Bug was my dog, I don't take this responsibility lightly. But all of her caregivers are equally distraught.

To say we will miss her is just pi***ng in the wind….it will be a hard day for us here and we will not be alright.

BMAR desperately needs vet funds, sympathy and just some peace. If you can send any of this, we thank you.

🚨🚨🚨URGENT APPEAL FOR SPECIAL NEEDS DOGS TRAVEL FUNDS!🆘🆘🆘

Meet Our Resilient Travelers
The world of animal rescue is often filled with challenges, but the stories of Trixie, Dyse, and Mona show the resilience and hope that can emerge from adversity. These three special needs dogs are ready to embark on a journey to their forever homes, but they need your help to get there.
Trixie: A Survivor with a Heart of Gold
Trixie is a large brindle mix who recently overcame a severe eye infection, which sadly resulted in the loss of her eye. Despite this setback, Trixie remains as sweet and loving as ever. Finding a home for a big brindle dog is challenging under normal circumstances, and her new condition makes it even more difficult. However, she has bravely adapted to her situation, and with the support of BMAR, she has made a remarkable recovery. All she needs now is a chance to start anew.
Dyse: A Senior with Stories to Tell
Dyse, a senior dog from a high-kill shelter, has faced a lifetime of mistreatment. At ten years old, he is underweight and carries the scars of his past. Despite these challenges, a compassionate foster family requested his rescue, and we spared no expense—over $1000 in vet work—to restore his health. Dyse is ready for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years in peace and comfort.
Mona: A Brave Little Fighter
Mona, a five-year-old French Bulldog, has shown incredible courage after a mishap during delivering her puppies left her paralyzed in the rear. Now wheelchair-bound, Mona has adapted beautifully to her new way of life, thanks to her indomitable spirit and the generosity of a kind woman who has agreed to provide her with a lifelong home.
The Urgent Need for Support
To ensure these deserving dogs reach their new homes, we need to raise $1800 to cover their transport and border fees. Despite our efforts to find sponsors, we have not yet secured the necessary funds. This is what real rescue is about—not just adoption fees, but finding homes for animals truly in need.
How You Can Help
Your support can make a world of difference in the lives of Trixie, Dyse, and Mona. By contributing to their transport costs, you can help us continue our rescue mission and provide these dogs the chance for a better life. We are at a critical juncture, and without your help, we may have to curtail our efforts to save other animals in need.
Ways to Contribute:
Donate: Any amount helps and will be used directly for transport and border fees.
Spread the Word: Share this appeal with friends, family, and social media to increase our reach.
Sponsor: If you or someone you know can sponsor part or all of the transport costs, please reach out.
Together, we can give Trixie, Dyse, and Mona the future they deserve. Start today and be a part of their journey to happiness. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
The rescue is $1800 short on the fees to get these dogs to safety. Please consider donating!

Mona's Journey: A Story of Resilience

A Little Frenchie with a Big Spirit

Mona is a remarkable five-year-old French Bulldog whose life took an unexpected turn after a breeding mishap. Despite the challenges she faced, Mona safely delivered her puppies and cared for them as best as she could. However, she never regained the use of her legs.

Overcoming Challenges

Throughout her journey, Mona's medical records have grown to a substantial three inches thick file. Every piece of advice from veterinarians was diligently followed, yet nothing seemed to restore her mobility. Refusing to let her circumstances define her, Mona adapted to her new life with the help of a specially designed wheelchair. Now, she zips around as if wheels were always part of her story. Mona is even fully potty trained, independently taking herself outside when needed.

A New Chapter with Mary

Despite the fact that Mona will never walk again, she is too vibrant and full of life to consider any drastic measures. Instead, a new chapter is beginning for her. A wonderful person named Mary has offered Mona a loving and secure home. Mary is ready to welcome Mona into her life, providing the care and affection she deserves.

The Support Mona Needs

There are no adoption fees for these special rescues, and Mona is no exception. The rescue organization is grateful for the opportunity to find homes for dogs like Mona, and it costs them the same to send a dog to a new home regardless of the adoption fee. Mona still needs a sponsor to cover the $600 cost of her journey to Mary. She recently passed her veterinary exam, has her Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), and is eager to meet her new mom.

How You Can Help.

If you are moved by Mona's resilience and spirit, consider sponsoring her trip to her new home. Your support will ensure that Mona continues her journey of love and care. She never gave up, and with your help, neither will we. Together, we can make her new beginning as smooth and joyful as possible. Would you like to be part of Mona’s incredible story by sponsoring her journey?

This special zeffy link will send you a tax deductible link right away...you can sponsor any amount and just Mona in the space provided. Zeffy takes debit and credit cards up to $300.

BMAR is in EXTREME BUSY MODE right now which we willl post in a minute BUT we need to THANK everyone ASAP and PROFUSELY 👏👏👏fot the ac dontions. This is one of the guys you are helping out. Rollie cannot take the heat! We had enough donations to buy the danged a/c AND a couple of high velocity commercial fans to cool that shuttle bus down.
🥵🥵🥵For those of you that don't know Texas weather....it is 104 F today....we have a cold front coming in for tomorrow which will lower our temps to 100F for the day. the following 4 days will sport a high of 99F -just asking where you live if you are grateful for a coldl front that lowers the temp to 100F😂😂😂?
But we were able to lower the temp in that shuttle from 118F to 87F and we insulated all the windows, put shade over the top and we are thinking we can get it down to 80 today!

We cannot express how IMPORTANT this was to our heat intolerant dogs....and we cannot thank you enough! YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE!

BMAR THANKS EVERYONE THAT HELPED OUT. WE HAVE INSTALLED IT AND ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK OUT!

We have an emergency and we need this for the shuttle bus to house emergency dogs in....the shuttle bus will be stationary for life saving purposes. I took some of the payment options off because we are so broke we need the money immediately to buy it. We are going to Lufkin Loews where it is in stock. So if you use zelle, venmo, cash ap or even paypal....we sure need help. 105 F temps and dogs in need and we are in trouble. Can anyone help?

Urgent Appeal for Assistance at BMAR
A Dire Situation
BMAR is currently facing an overwhelming financial crisis, having expended $3,000 in a short span of time at our veterinary clinic. Our funds have been depleted due to the constant need for veterinary care, including daily dog visits and medication refills for our sick animals. Tragically, we have also lost a few of our beloved dogs along the way. Our challenges include dealing with a range of conditions such as injuries, illnesses, geriatric care, heat-related stress, allergies, cancer, heartworms, and more.
Difficulty in Direct Donations
We understand that it may be inconvenient to donate directly to Dr. Rach due to their limited hours and busy phone lines. However, we earnestly request that you make an attempt to do so, as every contribution helps us continue our mission.
Upcoming Needs
Looking ahead, we have a full schedule of dogs in need of veterinary care for the upcoming week, but unfortunately, our resources have been exhausted. This does not include the mobile clinic we are attending tomorrow. While Catherine has generously covered the medical costs for Zoom Zoom, we still need to fund the neutering and rabies vaccinations for two of our male dogs. Unfortunately, we will have to delay their ProHeart treatments.
A Plea for Understanding
On a personal note, we are overwhelmed by the daily influx of bills. Our donations have plummeted by 95%. While we appreciate the offers of dog food, the reality is that our primary concern is the significant medical debts and maintenance costs we are incurring. We urge everyone to take responsibility for their pets, ensure they are properly vetted, and refrain from abandoning them. It’s disheartening to see this cycle continue, and we hope for a day when people face the consequences of their actions.
How You Can Help
If you are unable to donate directly through the vet clinic, we have various other donation options available. Your support is crucial to helping us navigate this challenging time and continue providing care for the animals who depend on us. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
