Baltimore dogs take a lap for mental health at retirement community

The pet parade raised money for the Maryland SPCA.

Sauce, one of the dogs being cared for at the ASPCA adoption center, looks out from his kennel at the ASPCA, Friday, April 21, 2023, on the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York. While the Westminster Kennel Club crowns the cream of the canine elite on one of tennis' most storied courts next week, another 19th-century institution across town will be tending to dogs that have had far more troubled lives. New York is home to both the United States' most prestigious dog show and its oldest humane society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Their histories entwine: Some proceeds from the very first Westminster dog show, in 1877, helped the young ASPCA build its first dog and cat shelter years later. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)
