Great Dane lovers, meet your dream dog.

Fred is a 206 pound (yes, you read that right) gentle giant with a heart just as big. He’s an older guy, but still has plenty of pep in his step and is looking for a soft spot to land.

Despite his size, Fred is all love. He's sweet, goofy, and open to meeting other dogs.

If you’ve got room in your home, and perhaps an extra large couch, for this hunk of a Dane, come meet Fred today!

After the Guadalupe River subsided following the July 4 floods in Texas, a brown pitbull named Hulk returned to the ruins of his family’s riverside home, which had been partially swept away. He stationed himself on a broken floorboard, sniffing the air. A day later, still unmoved, he caught the attention of worried neighbors and friends who contacted Kerrville Pets Alive, a local no-kill shelter. The shelter’s vet team arrived and discovered Hulk was unharmed, steadfastly waiting for his missing family to come back.

This is someone’s beloved pet, recovered lifeless from the floodwaters in Texas.

The news talks about homes and human lives lost. As they should. But the animals are usually left out. Forgotten. Silenced.

As an animal welfare organization, we can’t help but think about them - because that’s what we do. The dogs swept away in rivers. The cats hiding under debris. The deer, birds, and opossums - all the wild lives taken or displaced when nature turns violent.

Entire communities are underwater. People have died. And countless animals - domestic and wild - are gone, injured, or waiting for owners who may never come home.

Over 40 miles of river are being searched for animals lost, injured, or dead. Volunteers are working around the clock to rescue survivors, recover the deceased, and reunite animals with families.

One such group on the ground is Kerrville Pets Alive along with Kerr County Animal Services. They’re recovering animals, providing medical care, and trying to bring survivors home. If you see animals displaced by these floods or want to help, contact them directly:

If you’re another group in Texas working on animal rescue in these floods - we want to support you. DM us so we can help connect you with resources, fosters, and donors.

6/16/25 SPACE UPDATE - ZERO DOG KENNELS: We are in a desperate situation. This past weekend alone, nearly 100 animals arrived at our shelter. We are completely out of dog kennels—not a single one is open. Every available kennel, every spare office space has been used. Our team is working around the clock to care for each animal and create room where we can—but we’ve hit a wall.

We need help today. Adoption fees are waived, and even short-term fostering can save a life. We’re also seeking rescue partners who can pull dogs into their programs.

We know that not everyone can adopt, but everyone can do something. Share this message. Tag a friend. Ask your network. Help us reach the people who can say “yes” today and tomorrow. Because without immediate relief, we will face heartbreaking decisions, including euthanasia for space.

This is not a decision we ever want to make. And with Baltimore’s help, hopefully we won’t have to. Here’s how you can help today:

🐾 Adopt: Adoption fees are WAIVED starting now through the weekend. Every adoption includes a spay/neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines.

🐾 Foster: We urgently need fosters, especially for large adult dogs. Even short-term fostering saves lives by freeing up kennel space.

🐾 Donate: The cost of caring for 100 new animals is staggering—food, medical care, safety. Every dollar makes a difference.

🐾 Rescue Partners: We are calling on all approved rescue partners—please help us pull animals immediately. New partners, email [email protected] to get started ASAP.

BARCS is a lifeline for these animals. But right now, we can’t do this without you. This shelter should be a place of hope—not a last stop. We need your help.
