In recognizing the need to have a city animal shelter that serves as a true resource for the people and animals of Baltimore, the city has reorganized its animal shelter into a 501(c)(3) non-profit and renamed it the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS.) In addition to receiving funding from Baltimore City, BARCS now has the critical ability to raise private funding from the community and enhance its volunteer efforts.
