My story

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

I am totally terrific Turtle and I find myself here, swimming around, looking for my forever family. I`m a very sweet fella who gives gentle kisses and always enjoys a good belly rub. I am still getting to know this place, so it may take a few minutes for me to warm up to all of my surroundings. I am active, and I enjoy being outside. After a long day, though, I really love to snuggle up in a warm, comfy blanket! I`ll bet YOU like that too! Read below to find out how to meet me:

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.
