They’ve done it again! The Baltimore Orioles saw that BARCS was in a state of emergency again this week and invited our BFF Adoption Waggin' to the game on Sunday! Catch us in Maryland Square inside Camden Yards (located near Gate A) beginning at 10:30 a.m. All adoption fees are waived! Fans with game tickets who adopt an animal can pick up their pet after the game.

***BARCS is out of space. Since our SOS post earlier this week, we took in ANOTHER 220 homeless and lost animals. Our situation remains critical and dogs in our shelter are at risk. Without the help of our community and peers, our team will be forced to make impossible choices.

Adoption fees are waived at the shelter and all offsite events through the weekend. Please consider adopting, fostering or helping to spread the word.

Our address and hours: 2490 Giles Rd., Baltimore, MD 21225; Monday - Friday: 2-6 p.m.; Saturday - Sunday: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.***

This👇
As hard as it may be, candidates for BE still deserve to have their family there at the end. Not confused or even more frightened when it's someone else.

Please....if you aren't in a position to adopt, consider fostering. Even if it's a week or holiday weekend, getting animals out of the shelter for a break can be huge for them! It also gives the shelters an idea of how a dog may truly be in a home.
❤️❤️❤️

THIS is why we say fostering helps us save lives. Without a foster, there would be no way for us to know Silver Dollar’s true personality—which is a total 180 from who she was at BARCS.

“Silver Dollar is doing exceptionally well in her foster home and it’s only day 2! She was growly and reactive in her kennel—not showing well at all for visiting adopters. We moved her to an office in the shelter, where she was doing better, but still a bit uneasy. Once we found a foster, She immediately started thriving! She went to a local pup-friendly restaurant and was so friendly with everyone. ☺️ She’s a very different dog than what we saw in the shelter environment!”

We see this kind of thing happen a lot—not all dogs are mentally resilient enough to handle huge changes in their lives, like losing their family and only home they’ve ever known. Suddenly they are in a loud place, with a lot of unfamiliar smells and faces. We can’t blame them for being upset and totally “different dogs.”

Have you ever considered fostering? Not only does BARCS need you, dogs like Silver Dollar NEED you. Fostering is a literal lifeline.

Please keep this in mind if you choose to adopt!

Plant your garden and have natural repellant for some of those pesky pests!

The bugs are coming! The bugs are coming! While many insects are helpful, others can cause distress or pass disease to you and your pets. Consider having some of these plants around to keep your garden and your pets from being bugged by unwelcome pests.

Reposting due to the extreme temps in the next few days.

Tis the season of sweaters and frigid temperatures.

If you choose to set out small shelters for stray cats, etc. please see the below instructions. This is a cheap and easy way to set out some insulated shelters that animals can use.

Every soul needs a hand every so often, so thanks to those who help(in whatever capacity you can) ❤️

With the extreme remps and wind chills, please keep this info on hand!

If you are not able to safely rescue an animal, or are unable to stop, etc please call your local animal control and provide as much detail as you can.

If you do find one and have the ability to bring the animal in and provide a temporary foster, please contact your local AC and leave a found report. Get the animal checked for a microchip (any local vet will do this for free).

Happy holidays!

Update: He is home!

Good morning all,

Please keep your eye out for Rebel. Friendly GS male that found his way off his farm near 231/Adelina rd in Prince Frederick last night.

If you see him, please reach out to us or the OP.

Thank you.

24/07/2022

Just a friendly reminder!

Please watch out for your pets when in this killer heat!
Older dogs are more at risk…
Overweight dogs are more at risk…
Short nosed dogs like bulldogs, pugs, frenchies are more at risk…
Remember, they can’t sweat like humans can! They can’t manage their body temperature as efficiently as we can.

So true. They are so worth it though.

A little heartwarming something to start your morning!

Blind pup in need of a new home. If you have the ability to take him in, please reach out to OPH and fill out paperwork to adopt this nugget ❤️

Hi! My name is Sloth, I'm a sweet guy & guessed to be a 10yr. old Dachshund mix. I currently weigh 10lbs.
I am labeled as special needs because I am blind. I use my sense of smell and heating to help me maneuver around. I will need a special home that will understand what is needed to have a blind dog. Is that you? If so, apply today 🐾 https://ophrescue.org/dogs/11676

Mrs. Kangaroo (Kanga) can't believe she hasn't found an adopter! This girl is a fan favorite - our fosters can't seem to stop bringing her home from boarding. She is described as cuddly, loving, crate trained, house trained, great on walks, and super soft!! Could your couch be the one she gets to spend forever on?

BABY SEASON IS HERE!!!

Many orphans can be left a few hours to see if mom comes back...NOT OPOSSUMS! If you see a baby like this one in a yard or anywhere, get it quickly in a little box or pet carrier with a blanket and keep warm and call a wildlife rescue. Momma opossum can have up to 13 babies. As they grow, they don't all fit in the pouch so they ride on her back. If something startles her and she runs, one can fall off. Momma doesn't know she lost one so please never ever leave one thinking mom will come back...

Please make the call before you "rescue".

Licensed wildlife rehabilitators can assess whether animals are truly orphaned and whether they need veterinary care.

Hi! My name is Sidecar, I'm a sweet and goofy boy and guessed to be a Plott Hound mix, around 1 year old, & about weigh 45 lbs.

Interesting in fostering? Unsure what your life would look like fullt I'm with a pup?

Wonder no more. Reach out to OPH or any other rescue and fill out a foster form. Help save animals while enjoying their company.

Ever wished you could save a life? You can! All it takes is opening up your home for a little while. You'll help a sweet pup find their family, AND free up space for another dog in a shelter. Fostering is such a rewarding experience, and OPH provides all of the food, supplies, and vetting the dogs need. You get to choose the dog, you say when - no pressure, just plenty of support. There are so many more dogs that need a chance - and we NEED more FOSTERS. Join us today!

If anyone is interested in donating, here's a list of sites to do so.

People and animals in war-torn Ukraine need our help. Many shelters are experiencing food shortages and structural damage to facilities. As hundreds of thousands of residents flee the country, the number of displaced animals also grows and so do the needs

This! Remember, as long as you can properly care for your pup, I say the more the merrier!

We have a 6 pack. They are expensive so not recommended for everyone, but saving a rescue or two wouldn't be as hard as you think!

Please consider adoption if you're looking at adding furry friends to your life.

Although funny and absolutely relatable, please keep this in mind when adopting. Dogs are a lifelong commitment that will require proper vet care and lots of love.

Perfect little adventure companion!

Veela knows there's a lot out there to see and experience! She's searching for someone active who wants to take her hiking, swimming, or running, and then crash together on the couch later. If that sounds like you, apply today!

Please be kind to the opposums!

It’s cold out there. Please be kind to opossums. Many of them find a cozy place to combat the cold. (So many are missing parts of tails, ears, toes, due to previous frost bite) and your garage or porch may be the only place they have. They won’t hurt anything, I promise. And shooing them out may be certain death due to lack of shelter. They are Northern America’s ONLY marsupial. These precious souls eat fleas, ticks, and other pests.

Please, this holiday season be kind to these wonderful animals. 🐾❤️

Please stay away from rawhide.

This hazardous chewy toy is a by-product of the leather industry, not the food industry (which is why most are labelled as non-edible and/or dangerous if swallowed). The chemicals it takes to make this unsafe chew, from start to finish, is staggering!
