HOARDING CASE—83 DOGS FROM BALTIMORE ROWHOME: This morning, Baltimore City Animal Control, with the support of the BPD, executed an administrative warrant resulting in the seizure of 83 dogs and one cat. All animals were brought to BARCS. conta.cc/4aAK6Ub

When Orioles pitcher Cole Irvin saw BARCS was receiving a mind-boggling 83 dogs from a hoarding case, he immediately called his wife, Kristen Beat. “We need to make an impact.” Irvin and Beat, two animal lovers and rescue advocates, have stepped up: thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/orioles…

We are so lucky to have Kristen Beat and Cole Irvin in our BARCS family. “He scrolled through IG about 20 minutes before first pitch…He stared at the pictures, which included a mother Yorkie and her pups in a crate, and then dialed his phone.” 🧡 thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/orioles…
