In Baltimore City, MD: 13 y/o gentle senior found tied to a fence in freezing temperatures - BARCS, Baltimore MD

If you can offer this sweet senior a warm, loving foster home, please email foster@charlietotherescue.org

Barktholomew- 13 y/o, altered male, 82lbs

Poor Barktholomew, at 13 years old, was found by a Good Samaritan in freezing temperatures tied to a fence. With no possible owner in sight, he was brought to our shelter for care, and although he's understandably overwhelmed, feeling lost and confused, he's been a friendly and cooperative boy with us so far.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Barktholomew is overweight, has nuclear sclerosis, moderate dental tartar, a few papilloma-type growths, suspected degenerative joint disease, and possible decreased hearing. He was started on joint supplements and fatty acids ongoing, and a full medical summary can be provided upon request.

No senior should spend their days in a shelter, and sweet Barktholomew here is of course no exception. He is currently on stray hold and will be available for rescue pick-up after 12/4.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

Thank you,

Officially launching my new foster pup Cindric, aka Cindy! This shmedium-sized pup has been an absolute angel for the 15 hours I've had her. I'll have her through March but I'm not sure where she'll be going after that, so if you're in the WI/IL area and interested in adopting her, let me know.

Need motivation to get outside?

My favorite motivation to go outside and get active is fostering a dog for a day. Plenty of dog adoption centers will let you foster a dog for a day or even just a few hours. It's great for the dogs to meet new people and potential owners, as well as get some exercise and attention after staying in a dog kennel, and it is also a great motivator to stay off the electronics and take the dog on a walk, tossing a ball the backyard, or even laying around the house and giving some attention to the dog can be good for the both of you. It can be a great service and super fun. Do yourself a favor and get outside.

In Baltimore City, MD: Delightful, enthusiastic, and adorably speckled fellow looking for love - BARCS, Baltimore MD

If you can offer a lifeline to Fire Marshal with a loving foster home, please email foster@charlietotherescue.org

Fire Marshal- 1 y/o, unaltered male, 38lbs

1-year-old Fire Marshal is a delightful with a personality that’s sure to make you smile! He’s petite and charming, with a handsomeness that’s hard to miss—especially with that adorable front tooth that sometimes sticks out and his signature head tilt that’s simply too cute.

When it’s time for a walk, Fire Marshal is all about it! He’s enthusiastic and excited to head out of his kennel, ready to explore the world around him. While he can pull on the leash at times, his love for treats makes him easy to redirect, and his willingness to work for a snack shows that he’s ready to learn and follow instructions.

Fire Marshal has a medium size build and is the perfect mix of playful and manageable. His absolute favorite thing in the world is toys! He’ll happily trade you a toy for a treat, and watching him happily engage with his toys is sure to brighten your day. He’s also got the basics down, already knowing "sit" and ready to pick up more commands with some fun training.

This sweet, playful boy would thrive in an active home where he can enjoy regular walks, play sessions, and lots of attention. Fire Marshal is the kind of dog who will keep you entertained with his playful energy and melt your heart with his lovable nature. If you’re looking for a cute, fun companion with a ton of personality, Fire Marshal is your guy!

While in our care, Fire Marshal has shown unsocialized and/or uncomfortable behavior around most other dogs and is severely reactive at the barrier. Over the days spent with us, in order to help with his social skills, Fire Marshal has gotten out in the yard for supervised interactions, first entering the area wearing a muzzle that has ultimately been able to be removed for appropriate play. He has also shown high prey drive, so it is recommended he go to a home with no other animals.

Fire Marshal has shown to have high toy drive and can be grabby when taking food from your hand, so exercising caution, especially around young children, is recommended to avoid the risk of accidental tooth contact with hands.

Fire Marshal is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection, but appears otherwise healthy at this time. A full medical summary can be provided upon request.

Sweet, handsome and speckly Fire Marshal is available immediately for rescue pick-up.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

Part One; The Heart and Hardship of Animal Rescue: A Journey of Compassion and Survival

I often find people amazed by my extensive experience with animal rescue and street vet work, particularly when I share some of the most challenging and occasionally amusing stories. My journey into animal rescue began when I was just a toddler, following in my mother’s footsteps. She had been rescuing animals since she was a young adult, passing her compassion for animals onto me. Our…
