FYI

PARVOVIRUS CLOSURE–JUNE 2026: At this time, BARCS is closed for all dog intake/admissions, adoptions, and foster placements until further notice.

Recently, BARCS took in a group of dogs from a Baltimore City Animal Control impound case that appeared healthy upon arrival. Nearly a week later, several dogs from that group began showing signs of Parvovirus and subsequently tested positive. Because Parvovirus has an incubation period of up to two weeks, dogs can appear healthy and may not test positive until they begin showing symptoms. Symptoms include: lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea.

Because these dogs were housed within our shelter population before becoming symptomatic, our veterinary team is now working to determine the scope of potential exposure and implement appropriate disease control measures.

If you are currently in the process of adopting a dog from BARCS, a member of our team will be contacting you directly to discuss next steps. Please keep an eye on your phone and email for updates.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this situation and prioritize the health and safety of the dogs in our care. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.

**BARCS is still open for cat adoptions and fostering.**

Thank you to all the neighbors who reached out about the tree that fell in Centennial Garden. We were very luck my it missed the power lines, bench, and garden sign. Most of the plants remain intact. We did lose a couple smaller trees including a red bud, and a sweet bay magnolia.

Some of the lights came down too, but the appear mostly intact and able to be fixed.

Right now we are most concerned about tree removal. We have some neighbor volunteers willing to help split logs and cut some of the tree. This tree is a massive white oak with a trunk at least 3 feet wide. It has a straight trunk, meaning it could be desirable to some woodworkers. If you know any woodworkers who are well equipped to harvest in exchange for help removing some of the wood - please inbox us the information.

We will likely have to fundraise for removal efforts regardless due to the size of the tree. While this is unfortunate we are very blessed no one was injured, and there is no major damage.

Thank you,
Brenda
President, WHN

Important Notice: An anonymous neighbor was bitten by an off leash dog at the trailhead on Clifton and Fairfax, the dog did charge them, the neighbor is ok - but it did break skin.

This is a reminder - off leash dogs are subject to a $1,000 fine by the city. A dangerous off leash dog could put the dog at risk for euthanasia if located and seized.

If you are the owner please reach out to our page with vet record information so the victim does not need to consider a series of rabies shots.

All neighbors should remain vigilant if they see of a grey bully breed, off leash with a male owner.
