Get the "Scoop" on BARCS!
BARCS Fundraiser a "Mad" Success!
A huge crowd packed
Mother's
in Federal Hill this past Saturday
night for the
"BARCS Madness"
fundraiser. Thanks to our generous
supporters, BARCS raised over $4,000 for the
animals! We would like to thank Dave
and Kelly Rather, the owners of Mother's for
helping us with the event. Additional
thanks goes out to those who donated items
for our Silent Auction, including
Cirque du Soleil,
Steve Strohecker,
Partnership Wealth Management, the
Maryland
Science Center,
Stairstep Kids Photography, and BARCS
supporters Nicole
Counts and Peter Angle. We look
forward to celebrating again next year!
The BARCS "Get Showered with
Love" Special has begun!
Starting Monday
April 11th, BARCS is ushering in the Spring
season with the "Get
Showered with Love" special. We
receive so many animals this time of year, so
for a limited time,
BARCS is WAIVING the adoption fee for animals
that are five years and older. All other
adoptions will be only $40! So
stop by BARCS to adopt that special new
family member you've been thinking about.
The special runs from April 11th through April
25th.
Please visit BARCS at
301 Stockholm St. to see over 300 animals or visit
BARCS online to view
some of our wonderful animals like
these
cuties and ways that you can donate to help them:
