**Just Announced: PCI Service Company Has Pledged $25,000 to Match Donations to BARCS**
At BARCS, the health and wellbeing of our animals is our number one priority. Every single homeless, abused, neglected, or surrendered animal that enters our doors receives a medical examination and a care plan to ensure they stay as healthy as possible for the duration of their time with us. Some animals need nothing more than routine vaccinations, but others may need round-the-clock, dedicated medical care before they find a home.
On Valentineās Day, sweet 4-month-old Chino Cappuccino arrived at BARCS needing urgent medical care. His left eye was visibly injuredāit was bulging, discolored, and swollen with thick discharge. Upon further examination, it was evident that his eye was beyond saving and would need to be removed. Our veterinary team shifted their schedule to perform an enucleation in-shelter for little Chino on the same day as his arrival. This surgery was crucial to prevent further infection and pain and help him recover as quickly as possible.
Chino is an incredibly resilient puppy; he is full of life, love, and boundless energy despite his rough start. He is currently residing in a foster home where he romps and plays with his foster siblings. He already has an interested adopter, and we are sure that heāll be heading home with a wonderful family soon. But, he is just one of the many animals in need we see everyday, and we cannot continue to save lives like Chinoās without the help of generous, big-hearted friends like you.
Please consider donating to aid the homeless animals of Baltimore City who, like Chino, are in need. With your help, we can provide shelter, care and love, making a meaningful difference in their lives.
Critical medical care for our animals is the largest portion of the BARCS budget. Itās where funding for our shelter is always greatly needed. With increased donations, we can save more and more animalsāwhich is why they need you.
Our friends at PCI Service Company, a division of Power and Combustion Incorporated, want to make sure that animals' needs are met. To support our lifesaving mission, they have generously pledged an emergency match for all donations, dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 through March 12.
Your gift today of $10, $20, $50 or whatever you can comfortably afford will give a homeless animal like Chino Cappuccino a second chance so that they never live another day without medical care, shelter and, most importantly, love.
