Tattoo-a-thon to Benefit Baltimore Humane Society and Rescue Ink

October 23, 2009, 1:16 MT
By Joyce, Best Friends NE Team Leader

This Saturday from 10 a.m to 7 p.m, the Baltimore Tattoo Museum (1534 Eastern Avenue) will sponsor a Tattoo-a-thon to accommodate all those who pledged to go under the needle to bring Rescue Ink to town.

Proceeds from the Tattoo-a-thon will benefit both Baltimore Humane Society and Rescue Ink, helping both groups to continue their important work in animal welfare. Tattoos will be given on a first come, first served basis. There will be two designs to choose from (shown here -- dogs to the left, cat to the right) and the prices will be $100 each. Rescue Ink will not be present at this event. The size of the tattoos will each be about the size of a silver dollar.

Then, on Sunday, October 25th from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Rescue Ink guys will be at the Baltimore Humane Society (1601 Nicodemus Road, Reisterstown). They'll help B-More Dog celebrate Pit Bull Awareness Day rally against animal cruelty.

Baltimore Humane Society will be ask everyone to take a pledge against animal cruelty. B-More Dog will be on hand to conduct demonstrations, including narcotics sniffing, weight pulling, agility and more and to speak on responsible pet ownership practices. There will be photo-ops, a Q&A session, a book signing, tough guys and adoptable pets.

Finally, on Monday, October 26th, Baltimore Humane Society will be taking Rescue Ink to visit BARCS and the Maryland SPCA.

The goal of this three-day event is to bring the citizens of Baltimore together with Rescue Ink and B-More Dog to rally against and fight animal cruelty," says Tracy Santos, with the Humane Society. "We all know that the pit bull is the most exploited and abused K-9 breed and they need our help. In honor of Pit Bull Awareness Day, all of the proceeds donated to the Baltimore Humane Society during and leading up to the three-day blitz will be used to match an existing grant from Pit Bull Rescue Central to offer free spay/neuter services exclusively for Pit Bulls."
