URGENT! BARCS Animal Shelter here in Baltimore is out of space, and desperately needs people to foster large dogs! If you can foster a big pup for 2 weeks or more, go to BARCS Friday (8/7) 2-6pm or Saturday 11am-4pm, and they’ll help match you with the perfect foster pooch! 1/2

We are all about stopping animal cruelty. Last year we awarded a grant to the Forensics Department at Loyola University Maryland to provide entomology evidence collection kits to animal control agencies throughout Maryland. Today… 1/2

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

Look, @jortsthecat.bsky.social! Adoptable fun-sized Jorts merch in need of a happy home! No word yet on whether @dieworkwear.bsky.social has been dressing them in impeccable but tiny outfits. (One can hope).

Sh!t happens. Sweet adoptable kitty guy Freedom’s been at AARF for 6 years, almost his whole life. This whole time, he’s gotten only 2 applications, and no meets. Even though he’s an awesome li’l (just 7lbs!) dude who loves people, cats, and dogs! Why? Well… sh!t happens. 1/3

… see, after Freedom was found as a kitten covered with burrs, he was diagnosed with a rectal stricture (so pooping didn’t work right). After months of surgeries - success! But, well, he leaks a little. From, y’know, his butt. Wait, where are you going? Come back! Please! 2/3

Agreed. We adopt older kitties. Below is our current kitty, Elvis. We adopted him a year ago, when he was 9. If you can't tell from the picture, he's a sweetheart...

Hey! It’s Change The World Wednesday, so let’s get Simone a home! This sweet senior been waiting at Chesapeake Cats & Dogs Rescue (MD) for 1527 days now! 😿 B/c she’s older? ‘Just a brown tabby’? A little shy at first? Whatever! Loves getting petted, other cats. ADOPT OR SPREAD THE WORD! (More 👇) 1/2

hey Baltimore/DC (and environs) folks: the adoption countdown is at SIX WEEKS surely one of you needs a pair of kittens who are being socialized from practically day one, and someone who needs an incredibly sweet and gentle one-year-old mother who just wants constant belly rubs and head scritches

We've put out a plea for SHASTA before, but this guy really needs a home. An oversized senior gentleman, Shasta loves children and just needs a quiet couch to hang out. This 8yo lost his bonded brother and home at the same time, and hasn't really recovered. Someone please love him! #Tucson (23/45)

After your summer vacation, head out to the local animal shelter or rescue to take home a new family member. It's great to establish them in your home before the crazy start of the school year. Don't overlook the shy kitties. They can be the sweetest loves you've ever had once they trust you.

Here’s a thread of wonderful cats & kittens we have who need people!! Some are shy and sensitive and some are outgoing and extroverted! All of them are located in Elkton, MD and you can apply for them here: form.jotform.com/crits4cats/c... Starting with our longest resident of 21 months, Shoyu🧵⬇️

FOR 2 MORE DAYS ONLY (through 7/11) our friends at the Wet Nose Candle Company are hosting a fundraiser for us. This wonderful woman owned small business creates beautiful, natural, & long-burning candles that are safe to use around your pets & family members… (order👇) 1/2

We particularly love the Dog/Cat Mom candle as well as the Dog/Cat Dad candle! Buy some for yourself & a few for your friends.

Marcel had a little emergency Monday night. He is home and fine now, but it was scary for a while and we had an overnight stay at the emergency vet. It was so terribly quiet here without my precious tornado man. Hug your babies and appreciate every moment!

🚨 URGENT! BARCS here in Baltimore was already way over capacity for dogs - now 12 more are coming in after being found alone in a home. In the last 48 hours they’ve taken in 92 animals! Want to help? If you can foster or adopt, go there today ‘til 6pm. If not, please spread the news! 1/2

Wednesdays are ruff. Especially today, b/c it means you have to wait until Thursday, 7/9 - Saturday 7/11 for Wet Nose Candle Co.’s fundraiser for Soft Side. But it’s coming. Get a great gift for yourself or others, support a cool woman-owned business, and help animals in need! 1/2

I’m sorry to report that Screaming Man has not yet found his home. He’s SO friendly. Maybe if they gave him another name?!? www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adop...
