The Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology is accepting donations for BARCS, a non-profit animal shelter and pet adoption center in Baltimore.

BARCS is an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost, or surrendered animal that comes through their doors. No matter the circumstance, they do not turn away an animal in need of shelter, food, medical care, and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to 11,000-12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.

Please only purchase items from BARCS wish list. Below is a list of some of those items.

Drop off donations at the institute’s business office, Shaffer Hall 103 or contact to Gina Wadas at ginawadas@jhu.edu to arrange pick up.
