Baltimore Humane Society
So much to sniff, so little time! Canine guests and their accompanying humans were greeted with a myriad of wag-worthy activities at the Baltimore Humane Society’s annual Dogfest, held on the grounds of its home in Reisterstown. Among the options for mutt mingling and pooch play: a bubble chase, a 20-yard dash, paw painting, treasure hunts, costume and dancing contests, and a wide variety of food and vendors to explore.
