My story

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

Hey there! I see I caught your eye. I`m Nora. I need to find someone that has a lot of patience and understanding. Maybe that`s you. I`m looking for someone that would be willing to work with me on some household manners. They tell me you will need to talk to a trainer if you want to adopt me. They will share some things with you that will help you understand what`s going on with me. But don`t let that scare you away. It`s just a phone call, and I think it will help you know me better! It will only add an extra day or two to the adoption process. You will find that I`m a bit shy at first, and that`s why I asked for someone with understanding to adopt me. When I get comfortable with you, I get my purr machine going and going and going! It shows you how content I am! I might even lull you to sleep with my purring if you take me home. Come on down and say hi! I think you might be the human I`m seeking.

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.
