Barking Back Rescue

Merry Christmas to all.
Athena, gift came early, she hit the jackpot with the best foster family in town.
This little chunka was an owner surrender. She's a bit shy and standoffish and unsure of men in particular, but she's on great hands while she learns that the world isnt so scary. 🤶🎄

Life Goals for our Aussie Babies - to look like this again LOL
Poor sweethearts lost so much hair this past week. But They are still so adorable and sweet. Hate having them go through the itchy-scratchies.

If you wish to donate to help their process, visit: www.barking-back.org

They also have a wishlist: https://a.co/4b3IywD

Monday our vet's office called with an urgent plea — a family was in the office with 8 puppies diagnosed with sarcoptic mange.
It’s highly contagious, especially with small children in the home, and there was nowhere safe for them to go.

I’m now quarantining “the scabies babies” in a spare room, picking up hair by the handfuls, disinfecting constantly… and I’m already foregoing family Christmas to keep them safe.

On top of that, I’ve been working 17-hour days for the last four days straight. (Yes, I'm crazy. Tis the season)

Meanwhile, 5 healthy puppies arrive from Texas tomorrow — pups who have already been in foster care for 2 months and deserve to stay healthy.

We urgently need some temporary fosters so we can safely keep these groups separated.
• 11–22 lbs
• Healthy, sweet, fully vetted
• Just need a safe place for the holidays

We also urgently need donations and supplies to get the mange puppies through treatment and prevent cross-contamination.

This is one of those moments where community truly makes the difference.
If you can help in any way — fostering, donating, or sharing — we would be forever grateful.

Yes, They are adoptable, but won't be able to go home for a while. You can still get your applications in for when they're ready. They are purebred Aussies.

NY-bound at last! :🚗🐾
Huge thanks to everyone who donated and to the incredible Madeline, who fostered our Bonham, TX pups for two months and gave them love, safety, and a future. She does amazing work for Texas dogs. 💛

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!!

Last-ditch effort: We still need $250 to cover the rest of the pups’ transport and their final vet visit for health certificates. Two generous donors helped us get most of the way — we just need the rest to get them on their way.
All donations are tax-deductible.

Venmo/Paypal on our website (if you don't have either, the transporter has cashapp)

FRIENDS - It's Christmastime and our 5 Texas pups must move by the 14th. Their foster has cared for them for months, but other dogs now need her. We need $750 by Sunday for transport to get them on their way. HELPPPP

End-of-Year Push for the Pups & a New Year’s Break for Us

It’s Christmastime — the hardest stretch of the year for rescue. Fosters are limited, adoptions slow down, and once again I won’t be spending Christmas with my own family because the dogs in our care still need round-the-clock responsibility.

We’re ending the year with more dogs than we planned, simply because we cannot get spay/neuter appointments. The low-cost clinics are booked solid, and without those surgeries, these pups cannot be adopted. Our only option is to use our regular vet at nearly 3× the cost, and after the year we’ve had, our funds are depleted.

We also still need $950 to transport the five Texas pups and Junebug to New York so they can start their new lives.

Once these current dogs are finally adopted, we will be taking a 3-month rescue break to reassess, regroup, and figure out our next steps — this has been one of our toughest years yet.

If you need a tax-deductible donation for 2025, or if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to help, this is truly it. Every contribution — big or small — brings these dogs closer to their homes and helps us finally reset for the new year.

Happy Holidays from our pups to yours — may warm forever homes find them all
Thank you for helping us finish what we started. ❤️🐾

Warning: Maple may cause sudden feelings of wanting to adopt a giant teddy bear with paws.
This 3-month-old Mastiff sweetheart is goofy, playful, endlessly lovable, and guaranteed to brighten even the gloomiest day. She’s all puppy — clumsy, curious, and full of heart.
If you need joy, Maple’s got plenty to spare. 💗

Happy Monday! Our 5 dumped Texas pups are at the vet for final vaccines today. We’ll also learn their transport costs with their new weights. Any help covering today’s visit would be amazing. 💛🐾
