'Tackle The Tartar' Fundraiser To Help Pets At The Humane Society Of Harford County

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — In time for Giving Tuesday, the Humane Society of Harford County will be holding a fundraiser called Tackle the Tartar.

The fundraiser will help provide dental services for pets living at the shelter with a goal of $36,000 to purchase dental equipment like a dental table, dental X-ray machine and a high-powered light to polish teeth.

"Here at the shelter, we see many cases of dental disease, a painful condition that occurs when bacteria, plaque and tartar build up on the teeth and get trapped beneath the gum line," the organization said in a news release. "The bacteria can be absorbed into the bloodstream and wreak havoc on other major organs throughout the body."
