My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am Rufus and I am adventurous, goofy, and active! I am also very smart and love love love learning new games. If you`ve never heard of a flirt pole before, you are in for a treat! It is my all-time favorite activity to do at BHS! I do like to pounce on the occasional tennis ball every once in a while. My volunteer friends here at BHS say I enjoy car rides to Chick-fil-A, hikes, letting every deer in the area know I`m there, and giving goofy smiles! I am a special boy in the way that I have not had much luck with other dogs, despite the efforts of my training friends, I would be more comfortable in a home where I am on the only dog. I have a lot of real funny little antics so don`t you worry, you will always be entertained with me around! I would make a great hiking or running partner as I love to go on adventures.
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.
