March for the Animals

Say hello to my dog Ace -- and, if you'd like, to the human he's tugging behind him -- at the Maryland SPCA's March for the Animals, which begins at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Druid Hill Park.

The 1 1/2-mile march is the SPCA's chief fund-raising event of the year, and it will be held rain or shine. Parking is free.

Those whose pledges and donations total $30 receive a doggie bandana, bottle of water and goody bag. Those with $40 or more receive a March for the Animals T-shirt.

In addition to the march, activities will include a demonstration by Mid-Atlantic Disc Dogs, pet/owner look-a-like and pet costume contests, a canine agility course, a pet communicator, $25 microchipping and dog training tips.

For more information, check the Maryland SPCA's March for the Animals website.

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.
