Poinsettia sale benefits Baltimore shelter

The Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter has begun its annual poinsettia sale to raise money for its spay and neuter program.

If you order 12 or more plants, BARCS will deliver them to your home or office.

The poinsettias come in both red and white. There's a $15 medium size (a 7-inch pot, standing 17 inches tall with 10-15 flowers) or the $30 Jumbo (10-inch pot, standing 26 inches tall with more than 20 flowers). Orders must be pre-paid by Friday, November 20th.

People can pick up their plants at BARCS on Wednesday, December 2nd from 9 a.m to 7 p.m. For those who order 12 or more, delivery is Dec. 2, too.

hmmm...considering that poinsettias are poisonous to cats and dogs, I am not sure that this is the best fundraiser for an animal shelter...I think that BARCS should inform those people purchasing the plants of this fact!

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.
