April Happenings in Baltimore

March for the Animals Sunday April 27, 2014 9:00am-2:00pm at Druid Hill Park

The March for the Animals is the Maryland SPCA's largest annual fundraiser, raising over $365,000 for the animals. This 1.5 mile walkathon is a great way for animal-lovers to support the MD SPCA's mission of helping pets and people. The day is full of great activities including: pet contests, an agility course, training classes, pet demonstrations and entertainment. All of the money raised goes toward our adoption center, pet owner education, and the care of lost and homeless animals. If you have any questions, please contact Tami Gosheff, Special Events and Outreach Manager, at 410.235.8826 x138 or tgosheff@mdspca.org
