First 76 dogs adopted --- FREE!

This sounds like a very Unleashed way to celebrate the Fourth.

Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) is celebrating Independence Day with a Spirit of ’76 promotion. Beginning on Sunday, July 5, the shelter will be waive adoption fees for the first 76 dogs and puppies.

Every dog adopted from the shelter has been neutered and de-wormed; given rabies, DHLPP and bordatella vaccines; and provided with a flea preventative, a general examination, a food sample, and even a month of free health insurance.

“We’re celebrating Independence Day by making this best time ever to adopt a dog,” Jennifer Mead-Brause, Executive Director at BARCS said in a statement. “Our goal is give 76 dogs their freedom from life in the shelter by placing them in wonderful new homes.”

BARCS brought in 2,435 dogs from January 1 through June 30.

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.
