My story

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

Beautiful Basil here. I am a mellow, playful lady that enjoys playing with wand toys and viewing the birds from my window perch. I am a very sweet girl that prefers attention on my terms. I will let you know when I am ready for attention and when I`d prefer to be having `me` time. When you visit the shelter, you may notice my gorgeous self sitting by the door waiting for you to greet me. I can be quite chatty if you do not acknowledge me. I will thrive in a quieter household with those that will respect my unique personality. Our staff would love to speak with you to make sure we will be a good match. I hope you will visit me soon!

Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) 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 2

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.
