Are you fascinated with me because I`m insanely handsome and people say I have one of the best personalities around town? Do you wish you could add me to your family? Do you need a cute goofball who loves people to make you smile and laugh? You`re so lucky, because I`m available and ready to be yours. While people around here don`t know too much about me because I came from another shelter and I have not shared ALL of my secrets, I`ve not been able to hide some of my skills! One of them is that I LOVE to shake hands. Just met? Hand shake. Want attention? Hand shake. Waving hi? Yeah, I do that. I like to sit in your lap (or at least try to). Some people have tried to tell me I am not a 10 pound dog, but I`m pretty sure they are wrong about that! I also love to play with toys, ALL kinds of toys: squeaky toys, balls, ropes - you name it, I love it! Also, did I mention how handsome I am? You`re sure to be the envy of the neighborhood with a dog like me by your side! Do you think I`m the right dog for you? Come to Baltimore Humane and meet me today! I might just choose you for adoption!
What`s Next? 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 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.
