My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I`m Dusty, and I`m a little nervous in this place. However, I`m bonded with my sister, Cascade, which means we need to be adopted together. We adore each other! We`re both a little shy, but if you go slowly with us, we could become part of your family. I love treats, so don`t forget to bring one with you. If you are willing to be patient with us and allow us to get to know you, you won`t be sorry. I hope you will come in and meet Cascade and me. Have you heard that two kitties are easier than one? It`s TRUE! Can`t wait to see you!

Interested in adopting us? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2s, there is A LOT going on here and even though the staff and volunteers are very nice, I`m still a little nervous about all the activity. I`m really excited about the idea of a loving home with people who have the patience to help me adjust to a new place just like I`m trying to do here. Could that be you? I have also made a friend named Cascade and we are now bonded which means we must be adopted together!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).

In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
