My story

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

I don`t like it too cold, I don`t like it too hot. Hi. I am Gertie and I will fit into your family just right! I am a very happy, silly girl, with loads of playful energy! I love stuffies, chew toys, playing fetch, or going on walks, but I love to snuggle up at night most of all. I enjoy laying in the grass, bird and squirrel watching and sunning myself for a quick nap. I sit patiently for my meals, shake paws and give high fives. I am energetic and ready to learn all about my new world with my humans.

Interested in adopting me? I am currently in a foster home so if you`d like to meet me, please complete an online adoption application and either send us an email at animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or give us a call at 410-833-8848 Ext 2 so we can coordinate a meet!

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.
