In Baltimore City, MD: Emaciated dog with BCS of 1/9 found living outside in yard with no shelter or food/water - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Rescue Needed -

Hoagie- 10 months, unaltered male, 28lbs

Sweet lil' 10-month-old 'Hoagie' was brought to BARCS by Animal Control after being found living outside in someone's yard with no shelter or access to food or water.

Despite this, Hoagie has been an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy. Although, based on his appearance, you might assume that Hoagie wouldn't trust humans, especially strangers, but this is far from the case- Hoagie LOVES making new friends.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Hoagie is emaciated with a body condition score of only 1/9. He has obvious loss of muscle mass, no discernible body fat, and all of his bony prominences (ribs, spine, pelvic bones) are clearly visible from a distance. He has been started on a strict refeeding diet in order to gain weight back safely, and a full medical summary can be provided upon request.

Hoagie will be available for rescue pick-up on 2/11, and due to his poor condition, we would love to find placement for him ASAP.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

Thank you,

In Baltimore City, MD: Beautiful, affectionate, and intelligent, dog-friendly Husky is looking for rescue placement - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Rescue Needed -

Blizzard- 3 years, altered female, 40lbs

Meet Blizzard! This beautiful, sweet girl recently came to our shelter as a stray, underweight and covered in urine and feces, but she still has the calmest, friendliest energy around. She walks easily, isn't bothered by other dogs outside, and enjoys pets. She is highly treat-motivated (focused like a laser) to sit.

When tested off-leash in the shelter's play yard, Blizzard was a bit tense and unsure of other dogs at first, but eventually loosened up after a few minutes and was ready to bounce around and play chase briefly.

Upon initial examination, our vets noted that Blizzard appeared overall generally very healthy. After some time in our care, staff noticed that Blizzard was favoring one of her back legs. X-rays taken while under sedation for spay showed possible partial or complete cruciate tear/rupture. She's been started on pain meds for now and a full medical summary can be provided upon request.

Blizzard is available immediately for rescue pick-up, and due to her medical and need for surgery, we are hoping to secure rescue placement for her as soon as possible.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

HeiHei- 6 years, unaltered male, 9.8lbs

Adorable little HeiHei was found as a stray and brought to the shelter for care, and in hopes of finding an owner. HeiHei doesn't seem to know how to walk a leash really, but he is very sweet and perfectly content just sitting in your lap.

Upon examination, our vets noted that HeiHei has flea dermatitis, a low-grade heart murmur, an old eye injury causing blindness, and is overweight. He also possibly has a grade 1 heart murmur.

In Baltimore City, MD: Sweetest Puppy In Need of Urgent Leg Surgery Seeking Rescue! - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Urgent Rescue Needed -

Grover- 8 months, unaltered male, 34lbs

The sweetest puppy Grover came into BARCS' care on February 1st as a stray. Unfortunately, we do not know too much about his past but hopefully we can make sure he has the best future! Grover was tested here with other dogs and was wiggly & bouncy during interactions, he is overall a very playful pup! When you open his kennel he comes right out, wiggle butt and all! He is described by volunteers as a "very sweet pup" and he even knows sit!

Unfortunately, when Grover entered surgery a few days after arriving at the shelter it was noted that he was limping. X-rays showed a tibial tuberosity avulsion which will require urgent surgical repair and a strict post-op protocol to ensure proper healing. Despite his injury this pup is in great spirits! A full medical summary can be provided upon request.

Grover is available for rescue pick up immediately!

Please let us know if your organization can help!

In Baltimore City, MD: Emaciated Cane Corso mix with demodex and open wounds found in vacant on New Year's Eve - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Rescue Needed -

Polar Bear- 2 years, unaltered male, 61lbs

2-year-old Polar Bear is a gentle soul who has been through too much in his short life so far. This poor buddy was picked up by Animal Control after being found left behind in a vacant building on New Year's Eve. It's very clear he's been on his own for a while now, and we're very thankful he was discovered when he was so that he can now get the care and attention he so desperately needs.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Polar Bear is emaciated, dehydrated, has open, necrotic wounds on his front legs and swollen feet, as well as demodex. He was given subcutenous fluids, has been started on multiple medications, is getting a supplemental meal midday to help him gain weight, and he will need medicated baths once he's strong enough to stand in the tub long enough.

Despite his condition, Polar Bear has been incredibly trusting and cooperative with staff so far. He's weak and quiet still, and he's very hesitant to get up and go for walks; for the most part, he has been moved from rooms by pulling him across the floor on a soft bed. He enjoys treats, though, and will allow gentle pets to his sensitive skin.

Polar Bear is currently on stray hold until close of business 1/4, and due to his poor condition, we are hoping to find rescue placement for him ASAP.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

In Baltimore City, MD: 5 y/o handsome, intelligent, and friendly German Shepherd looking for placement! - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- Rescue Needed -

Timber- 5 years, unaltered male, 91lbs

Handsome Timber was found over the weekend as a stray. He's a friendly, energetic fella who does not quite know his size and is still working on "four on the floor"- aka not jumping up on people. Fortunately he's an intelligent guy, so is apt to learn quickly with encouragement and consistency. Timber is sweet and eager to make human friends.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Timber is underweight, has conjunctivitis, otitis, chronic flea dermatitis, and possible degenerative joint disease/hip dysplasia. He has been started on a couple of meds for his skin, ears, and eyes, and sedated x-rays of the pelvis and stifles are recommended to further assess. A full medical summary can be provided upon request.

When tested off-leash in the shelter's play yard, Timber was somewhat stiff and conflicted when interacting with other dogs. At this time we believe he'd be happiest as the only dog in a future home; however, we are also hoping that his social skills may improve over time with some practice.

Timber will be available for rescue pick-up after 1/2.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

In Baltimore City, MD: In Baltimore City, MD: SHULI IS STILL URGENT WITH UPDATE!!

ANYONE WHO CAN DONATE TOWARDS SHULI'S CARE AND SURGERY, please go to: https://www.barcs.org/donate/franky-fund/

(Updated 1/10) URGENT: 11-month-old affectionate and super tolerant sweetheart hit by car- needs rescue - BARCS, Baltimore MD

- RESCUE NEEDED -

Shuli- 11 months, unaltered female, 58lbs

UPDATE 1/10: After further reviewing with a surgeon at a partnering hospital, out of desperation to help Shuli, it was recommended that we take a conservative approach (which would be within our shelter's resources to provide) by amputating the front right leg and following up with strict crate rest for the next 8 weeks. Repeat x-rays of the pelvis will be necessary after crate rest to assess how it is healing at that time.

A partner hospital is able to fit in the surgery on Monday, January 15, but we will need rescue placement for Shuli outside of the shelter where she can heal and continue to receive the additional medical care that she needs.

11-month-old sweetheart, Shuli, was brought to BARCS after likely being hit by a car when she ran into the road. Poor baby was covered in road rash and other injuries, but has still be incredibly sweet, cooperative, and trusting with staff members so far. X-rays at the shelter showed multiple developing pulmonary contusions with her chest, a broken pelvis, and a fracture of the right front leg.

Although she is very uncomfortable and confused in the shelter environment, Shuli has been nothing but delightful. She lights up when she has human visitors and has been accepting of any and all handling (including being carried).

At 11-months-old, Shuli has so much life left to live and love left to share. We are hoping for immediate rescue placement so that she can get the care that she needs in order to live a full and healthy life.
