Hi there-- I'm Zeus, a dapper gent looking for a home to call my own. I would love to be an "Only Dog" in my new family's home. I'm not too excited about those other dogs. They call me a "Labraheeler," which is a unique mix of Labrador and Australian cattle dog. One of my favorite activities is solving food puzzles! The humans are amazed that I always figure them out! Another favorite activity is hanging around my people! I love to follow them everywhere! My energy levels are moderate and I'm pretty low-maintenance in the house, but I do love activity outside. My favorite foods are cheese, chicken, and beef, although I also enjoy a good bone. I like to hide my favorites and find them later! Oh, it's important you know that I'm a social eater, which means I prefer to eat my meal when my humans are eating. If you are looking for a loyal, deeply affectionate dog who loves attention and showers humans with attention in return, then you and I are probably a match made in heaven!
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/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.
