PetSmart Charities' annual National Adoption Week is back, and the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) is proud to be participating in this exciting, weeklong event. From March 6-12, the BARCS Offsite Adoptions team will be at PetSmart Glen Burnie (597 E. Ordnance Rd.) with dozens of adoptable dogs and cats searching for a home.
During this event, prospective pet parents will have the opportunity to meet BARCS' adoptable animals, interact with them, and ask questions to BARCS staff and volunteers. Should an adopter fall in love, same-day adoptions are available directly on-site.

About BARCS
The Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) is the largest companion animal shelter in Maryland. Each year, BARCS takes in more than 10,000 homeless animals including dogs, cats, small companion animals, wildlife, farm animals and exotics. As an open-admission shelter, BARCS does not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food and a loving touch and grants refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. Individuals from all over Baltimore come to BARCS every day of the week for reasons as diverse as reclaiming lost pets, adopting new furry family members, joining our foster and volunteer programs, and receiving free and low-cost resources to help them keep their pets in homes. BARCS' lifesaving programs seek to enhance the quality of life in our community through compassionate and impactful services to animals and people. BARCS makes a better community for Baltimore by providing humane care and shelter for homeless animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.
