Maryland SPCA gets dressed up

The pets at the Maryland SPCA will be celebrating Halloween again this weekend -- donning costumes for the second weekend in a row.

All during the month of October, the SPCA's adoption center, at 3300 Falls Road, has been getting in the spirit of Halloween, with animals performing tricks for treats, and free candy and decorations for visitors.

Pets will be in costume this Saturday and Sunday, as well as Tuesday and on Halloween night.

Also, all adopters receive free ZooBOOO! tickets for The Maryland Zoo's big October event.

On Saturday, the adoption center will be open an extra hour and a half, from noon until 5:00 p.m.

In addition, the Maryland SPCA, in honor of Halloween, is holding a "Black Cat Special" until Oct. 31, in which all black cats are available for $40 -- half the usual adoption fee.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
