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: 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!
