Getting Involved
Save a Dog in Need
Adopt a Dog
Adopting a dog from Barking Mad Animal Refuge means giving a deserving animal a second chance at life. Our rescued dogs come from challenging backgrounds, including neglect, abuse, and high-risk environments. We carefully rehabilitate and vet each dog to ensure they are ready for a loving forever home. By adopting, you not only gain a loyal companion but also play a vital role in our mission to rescue more dogs in need.

What we do
Our Services

Rescue and Rehabilitation
We rescue dogs from streets, abuse, and shelters. We rehabilitate, vet, and prepare them for adoption, ensuring each dog is ready for a loving home.

Sanctuary for Special Needs Dogs
We provide lifelong sanctuary for terminally ill, senior, blind, deaf, and amputee dogs. These special cases receive compassionate care in a supportive environment.

Adoption Services
We match rehabilitated dogs with caring adopters. Our process ensures each dog is placed in a loving home, contributing to their ongoing recovery and happiness.

Transportation and Relocation
We transport rescued dogs from Texas to Canada every six weeks. This crucial service saves lives by relocating dogs to safer environments for adoption.
