DenMar's Animal Refuge Network "because we give a DARN!"

Please note we are not a rescue, we do not place animals.

Our programs are designed to be a lifeline to the rescues and shelters that we support by assisting them in times of need.

Perfect way to start June, with a short road trip to Waco. Thanks again to Amazon.com for all of the donations that will meet the needs of so many deserving animals. Hound Rescue works hard at building relationships and we are thankful to be one of them. Special thanks to Zeth and Sara for all their help coordinating at the fulfillment center today.

Our apologies for the limited communications but our 11 day Tennessee Operation is a wrap! Denice made it back to Texas late yesterday and loved the time she got to spend with our friends at Animal Rescue Corps. She was able to help with 15 volunteer shifts at their shelter and fell in love with the animals from Operation Little Dogs Big Hearts.

They took on 4 serious cases within a couple of weeks time so their shelter was loud and bustling. Imagine a safe space designed for hundreds of animals that literally shifts and pivots with each new intake. From clinic, grooming, isolation, and general population areas, their facility is dream state. Animal pens, kennels, runs, and aviaries are all literally set up for each new intake which often involves the shifting of animals in each area to ensure safety protocols for animals coming in with all different innoculation statuses, health, behavioral and emotional concerns.

The little dogs were the newest to arrive so our work was helping to support their various needs and while leaving was difficult, we know they are in the best hands. Denice's last day she got to spend some good time with one of their co-founders, Tim Woodward, a 2025 CNN Hero of the Year nominee and finalist. We thank them for their friendship and all of their efforts for animals in need.

The power of partnerships is literally life saving! And our friends at Animal Rescue Corps are one of the best examples of building relationships by being fully transparent with both good and bad, keeping their commitments, and knowing no limits when it comes to the care of animals in their possession.

Many folks wonder how loud it is so while we can't show a lot, we will give you a bit of an idea. Yes, ear plugs are provided!

These are the dogs we were assigned to work with. We started shifts this AM and will work double shifts each day working to care for the chihuahuas. To see them in clean kennels with soft blankets and toys is so rewarding but many are very scared and need time to fully comprehend and trust that they are now safe. Based on the nature of this case, photos will be limited because they have to be approved before sharing.

We have 3 kittens in our cat colony that are ready for a great home. One, part siamese, one long hair grey, and the smallest is a grey with golden undertones. We, and their feline Mom, Dina, have been working to wean them and she is going to be spayed tomorrow. For interested adopters, please reach out to us via messenger. We would ask for a $25 donation to DARN and a firm commitment that they will be inside only cats and get spayed or neutered as soon as they reach 3 lbs. DARN will pay for that surgery as long as it is done by our trusted friends at Save An Angel.

DARN will be heading out to Tennessee on Monday AM. While we should have at least 50% of our trip covered by a travel grant, with the rising cost of gasoline, we would greatly appreciate any support to cover any additional expenses. This trip will be used to support a large influx of worse case scenario law enforcement animal seizures. Hundreds of animals are now safe but reliant on mass volunteer support to manage the basic needs of emergency sheltering. We will go pepared to offer support in whatever capacity is needed.

Hi Friends, we are working on a potential TN run that could have us there for a week or two. Is anyone open to traveling and working with us in the field helping to care for animal from multiple law enforcement operations. They are all now safely in an emergency shelter but we would like to try and help by providing multiple volunteers, if possible. Please comment if you would like Denice to reach out regarding the travel. If you travel with us (car or air), expenses will be covered, as long as you can volunteer for at least 3 days.
