Meet Grace! She is a 2 year old pit mix that weighs approximately 55 pounds. She has had a bit of a rough start at life. She came into our care with hair loss and bite wounds. The vet believes she was being used as a bait dog. She spent two months under vet care recovering from her wounds and getting her hair back! Grace is quiet, calm, and crate trained. She loves to be with her person. She is dog friendly, kind, and affectionate. She is looking for her forever home to continue healing from her awful past!

Application is required.
Grace is in Conway AR.
In person meet and greet by appointment's only or we can set up a video visit as well.

Great news Transport already in place. Furrst Class Pet Transport is generously offering to transport rescue dogs to their newly adopted homes for $200, ensuring a safe and loving start to their new lives.

Additional adoption info

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption event through out central Texas. we have microchipping events as well once a month. Most of our adoptable pets are in Fosters in several locations. We can do video visit with pets that are to far to see in person. We allow the adopters to speak to the foster to get to know the pet more. We encourage this exchange.

More about this rescue

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. OPERATION BARKING SQUIRREL is a Texas registered nonprofit and 501.3 (c) that is seeking to fill the gaps in dog and cat rescue. We believe that all pets in rescue deserve 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.
