OPERATION BARKING SQUIRREL is a Texas registered nonprofit that is seeking to fill the gaps in dog and cat rescue. We believe that all pets in rescue desserve a home of their own and we want to make that happen. We all see the pets that have been surrendered or dumped in Texas due to age, breed and no microchip to get them back to their parent, and, sometimes, no transportation to get them home.
Starting with senior and long term fosters dogs and cats,

we are promoting available dogs and cats that might be over looked because of their age or foster status.

The second gap is lack of microchips and microchip registration.

It is our goal to microchip and register at least 50 dogs or cats a month. Microchips can be expensive and we would prefer to offer free chips for all. For that to happen we need more funding. All pets should be chipped so they can make it back home, but unfortunately that isn't reality. We want to make that happen.

Third gap is transportation.

You fall in love with a dog or cat to realize they are a state away or more. That's when you check the costs and realize how expensive transport is. We are USDA Certified Transporters and will offer low cost transportation or help fundraise for an individual trip.

We are friends that worked together at the Texas Department of Public Safety for many years.

We both have worked with rescue and fostered many dogs and cats. We started this nonprofit with a few more friends to assist and are very appreciative of all the support and help for the animals we all love.
