#Earthquake (#földrengés) M2.2 strikes 20 km N of #Barcs (#Hungary) 48 min ago. More info: http://m.emsc.eu/?id=1544075

Spent the past week volunteering with #Baltimore #BARCS, #painting Poorly Drawn Pet Protraits for their annual fundraiser. They raised close to $20K this year. These are some of my favorite #watercolor pix. #CatsOfMastodon #DogsOfMastodon

#Baltimore #BARCS is the largest animal rescue in #Maryland. (I foster cats through them.) They held their fundraising gala this weekend.

"Employees estimate 30 animals are surrendered to the #shelter each day, about 10,000 animals per year... BARCS organizers say the #dog wedding will become an annual event. As for the happy couple, vows included taking long, slow walks around Baltimore; sharing tennis balls; and eating wet food for the rest of their lives."

#BARCS #AnimalShelter in #Baltimore is out of space for dogs. Adoption fees are waived for the coming week. They are also looking for local #dog #rescues who may be able to take some pups. If you've ever considered fostering, this is also the time to try. You can take a dog home for a few days to see if it is something you can handle.

What I love best about fostering with BARCS is that the foster family gets to pick the adoptive family from all incoming applications.
