May is a wonderful time of year to be outside with your dog. We here at Walk the Dog Baltimore enjoy it - lots of flowers and it's not too hot. Make sure your pet is gearing up for the summer by getting on their pest control regime. Check out "Paws on Parade" a fundraiser to benefit the Baltimore Humane Society, May 12, 10a-2p. (www.bmorehumane.com).

Please check out this Maryland SPCA Statement about Pit Bulls:
"The Maryland SPCA is greatly concerned about the recent Maryland State Court of Appeals ruling that 'pit bulls' are inherently dangerous. This determination should be made based on evidence on an individual animal's temperament and behavior, not breed. We are, obviously, saddened to hear of anyone hurt by an animal. We feel that pet owners are the solution to preventing dog bites and attacks. Owners must supervise their pets, train them and, most importantly, neuter their dogs. In an effort to help pit bull-type dogs, the MD SPCA has and will continue to provide adoptions, spay/neuter surgeries and training. We are worried that this ruling could result in more dog abandonments and fewer adoptions at area shelters and rescue groups. Please contact your local legislator (http://mdelect.net/) and urge him/her to consider legislation that would make certain that animals are judged on behavior and circumstance and not solely breed."
