Join BARCS for a hands-on morning helping care for our animals before we open for adoptions! Volunteers will choose between walking dogs or socializing cats, and participants should be comfortable directly interacting with animals, including medium- to large-sized dogs, as we do not have non-animal volunteer activities available for this project. The volunteer shift runs from 11 a.m.–1 p.m., rain or shine, with the option to stay afterward to help distribute frozen enrichment treats to our animals.
BARCS is a nonprofit organization operating Baltimore’s open-admission animal shelter. Each year, we provide lifesaving care to more than 12,000 homeless animals and critical resources to 10,000 owned pets and their families.
