My story

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

My name is Pequeno, but don`t let my name or my tiny size fool you, I am spunky and demand to be loved! I can be a little shy at first, and the best way to get me to initiate affection is by being gentle and slow with me. Once you let me come up to you once I am ready, I won`t leave you alone! I can see myself claiming a comfy spot on your couch, playing with a mound of squeaky toys, and being the very best companion a family could ask for.

As for my history, I was transferred from another local shelter and unfortunately there wasn`t much information about my past, but I am ready to put that all behind me and start fresh! I am so excited to meet my forever family. While it hasn`t been noted that I`ve lived with children or other animals, with the proper introduction, I could be open to the idea. Luckily, my trainer friends here at BHS are here as a resource to help guide you to making my next chapter a complete success!!

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.
