For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Hi there, I'm Colby Jack, but my friends call me Colby! I'm an active youngish boxer with a lot of love to give! You might already know this, but Boxers are sweet and smart! We love to learn new tricks, please our humans, and hang out with them too! I have lived with other dogs and I really like that. I'm not as good with cats, but only because I forget what a big guy I am! With some good training, I would be good around kids, but again, sometimes, I think I'm still just a little puppy! I Sometimes, I forget I shouldn't jump on kids! I have a lot of energy and really would like a yard to run in. Maybe you could help me with my manners!!! I'd love to go to Dog School and learn all that stuff humans like for us dogs to know! Come in and meet me! It's not EVERY day you get to hang out with a smart, sweet boxer!
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.
