Hi, I'm Gotti! Don't let my size fool you. I am a sweet, gentle, giant. I am bonded with my best friend, Nala. We have been together our whole lives so we want to continue to stay together. I like walks outside, but I especially LOVE walking side by side with my Nala. I am a big guy, so I need someone that can handle walking us both. We both love kids! Cats.. not so much. I absolutely adore back scratches and car rides. I love playing with squeaky toys and kongs. I may be a big strong dog, but I am a sweetheart. If you're looking for two sweet dogs to brighten your days, look no further! Come meet us and fall in love!
Interested in adopting us? 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.
