The Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) serves as a resource to the community for citizens and their animals in need. In addition to providing individuals and families the opportunity to adopt a loving companion animal that is spayed or neutered and vaccinated at BARCS, the shelter’s other services include: providing housing and lifesaving care to homeless animals, public education and outreach, tracking lost and found pets, the Trap, Neuter and Return (TRN) of community cats, offering low cost vaccinations and microchip clinics, pet licensing, and providing low cost basic dog training classes. Visit BARCS’ website.
The Pro Bono Counseling Project (PBCP) assures that Maryland families, couples and individuals requesting mental health care are linked with licensed mental health professionals who provide care on a volunteer basis at no cost. Over the last 22 years as fewer public services are accessible, the Pro Bono Counseling Project assisted more than 24,000 families and individuals throughout Maryland by linking them with 1,695 licensed clinical social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, marriage and family therapists and professional counselors who have donated in excess of 88,000 hours of therapy for their care.
