6/16/25 SPACE UPDATE - ZERO DOG KENNELS: We are in a desperate situation. This past weekend alone, nearly 100 animals arrived at our shelter. We are completely out of dog kennels—not a single one is open. Every available kennel, every spare office space has been used. Our team is working around the clock to care for each animal and create room where we can—but we’ve hit a wall.
We need help today. Adoption fees are waived, and even short-term fostering can save a life. We’re also seeking rescue partners who can pull dogs into their programs.
We know that not everyone can adopt, but everyone can do something. Share this message. Tag a friend. Ask your network. Help us reach the people who can say “yes” today and tomorrow. Because without immediate relief, we will face heartbreaking decisions, including euthanasia for space.
This is not a decision we ever want to make. And with Baltimore’s help, hopefully we won’t have to. Here’s how you can help today:
🐾 Adopt: Adoption fees are WAIVED starting now through the weekend. Every adoption includes a spay/neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines.
🐾 Foster: We urgently need fosters, especially for large adult dogs. Even short-term fostering saves lives by freeing up kennel space.
🐾 Donate: The cost of caring for 100 new animals is staggering—food, medical care, safety. Every dollar makes a difference.
🐾 Rescue Partners: We are calling on all approved rescue partners—please help us pull animals immediately. New partners, email [email protected] to get started ASAP.
BARCS is a lifeline for these animals. But right now, we can’t do this without you. This shelter should be a place of hope—not a last stop. We need your help.
