Best Black Friday 2016 Deals In Baltimore

Everyone knows that Black Friday is the narrow window of time to shop for all the best deals on Holiday gifts. What many don't stop to consider is that it isn't just the large chain retailers and mega-stores which offer enviable deals on the day after Thanksgiving: small retailers and locally owned shops actually front a surprising number of specials each year. Rather than waiting in line from midnight to try and take advantage of savings at a large store, why not consider some of these deals being offered by local businesses. The prices are just as good, and the shopping is easier and more personal.

The Maryland SPCA works hard all year to improve the lives of domestic animals, especially those who are needy or unwanted. It takes in pets, spays and neuters them, cleans them up, gives them shots and finds them good and loving homes. While the Maryland SPCA labors year round in order to help the abandoned pets of the Baltimore area, it intensifies its efforts around the Holidays to make sure no needy critters are left out in the cold. This year, SPCA is offering a special deal to shoppers. Not only is it extending its adoption hours from noon to 6:30 p.m., but it is waiving the adoption fees on any pet with black fur.
