Why am I doing this?

My beloved dog, Biff, has recently crossed the rainbow bridge. In his honor, I am hosting this tour to try and raise funds for a local shelter called BARCS so that other animals can live just as happy a life as him. BARCS is a non-profit that takes in roughly 1000 animals per month and does an amazing job caring for them. They provide food, shelter, and medical treatments to all animals in their custody. For more information visit the first link. To donate to BARCS visit the second.

How can we help these animals?

The simplest way is to donate or volunteer at your local shelter.

Going to Baltimore Regionals? Try dog's day out at BARCS and take a pup out for the day! I would recommend that you contact BARCS ahead of time to make sure you can help but they are always looking for volunteers.
