Barking Mad Animal Rescue was incorporated in December of 2014 and received it's IRS letter of determination. From 2006 to 2014 BMAR operated as a private rescue.

BMAR is a "No-Kill" animal rescue serving Sabine County Texas. Currently, Sabine County does not have an animal shelter or SPCA operating within it's boundaries. This leaves the county's animals in dire straights: neglected, dumped off, and animal cruelty is ignored due to lack of funding and/or knowledge of problems. We hope to serve the animals of Sabine County by bringing change and education to the community.

BMAR is funded by the Badger family and donations -receiving no government funding or assistance.

BMAR has no paid employees and is run by volunteers.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.

My name is Bexley. In the pics are my babies , Midnight and Baby Syra. I was separated from them over a week ago and I need help terribly to find them again , PLEASE. I was living in San Antonio with a couple whom I was renting from. My sister called me from Florida one day and said our Daddy is dying from Lou Gehrigs Disease. I made arrangements with the people I was renting from to care for Baby Syra and Midnight. I left food , supplies money just in case of emergency. I also left my Florida contact info. Shortly after arriving in Florida I tried to make contact to find out about my babies. All the numbers were blocked and including Facebook accounts. They have since told several different stories about what they've done with my babies. None of them are true. We called the police but they wouldn't cooperate and there's not much more they can do. They are in the San Antonio ,Tx area. ... PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY BABY SYRA AND MIDNIGHT🙏🏼❤️... SHARE this as much as you can Please. Thank You All🙏🏼 Love and Light , Bexley Forrester Midnight is a 20 year old female black cat. Please contact Tony Risi 786-487-5877 posted by

Please contact me, Denelle Ergh at 440 821 6037 about Storm, a Pitbull in a shelter in Pasedena, TX. She's in need of a rescue asap. She's up for euth very soon and she's having a hard time in the shelter and she's starting to shut down. She really needs to get out and find a foster. I believe she might have a foster and pledges but first she has to be pulled. We have been trying to find a rescue and are really having a hard time due to the volume of dogs needing to be pulled recently. If you think you might be able to help, please contact me, Denelle Ergh, or John Thomas by pm on Facebook or call me to let me know if you can one way or the other, please. Thank you for any help you might be able to give.
