BARCS Adoptable Dogs: Meet Betsy Ross
Hi friends! My name’s Betsy Ross. You may know Betsy Ross as the historical woman who sewed America’s first flag; I promise to make history by being the most loving dog you’ve ever known!
I’m 7-years-old, but don’t let my age fool you—I can still romp around with the best of them. In fact, I LOVE going on walks and exploring the world around me! There’s just so much to sniff out there. When I’m ready to settle down for the evening, you can find me relaxing on the back porch or a comfortable sofa.
My human friends at BARCS say I’m affectionate and sweet. I just LOVE hanging out with people and giving kisses! I also know all sorts of tricks like Sit, Shake, High Five and Lay Down. However, I’m a little weary about meeting other doggos, so if I could be the only pup in your home, that would be great.
My adoption fee is WAIVED this month thanks to the Dog Days of Summer adoption event. Won’t you come down to BARCS to meet me? I’d love to go home with you!

Adopting a shelter dog is truly saving a life. The shelters cannot save animals without support from the community in the form of adoptions, fostering, volunteering and donations. If you would like to meet these pups, please visit the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS), located at 301 Stockholm St., Baltimore, MD. 21230. For directions: http://goo.gl/maps/rndi. BARCS is open to the public Monday through Friday 2pm-6pm and Saturday and Sunday 11am-4pm. Please visit their website at barcs.org to see these and other wonderful animals waiting hopefully for their forever homes.
For information about volunteering for BARCS, please contact info@barcs.org or visit the website. If you are interested in fostering, please contact foster@barcs.org. If you cannot adopt or foster the dogs but would like to help them on their quest to find a forever family, please share their story via social media or donate through the BARCS website.
