Hey there! I`m Annabelle, an older, independent lady. At almost 10 years young, I still have plenty of affection to give! I am bonded with my younger sister, Rosie - we have lived together for years and have only grown closer in the shelter! This means if you`re interested in adopting me, you would take both of us home - a package deal! Once I`ve warmed up to a new friend, it won`t be long until I climb onto their lap for some pets and cuddles! But I like to do it on my own terms - older ladies can be a bit more set in their ways you know! I`ll come over to get pets when I want to and let you know when I`ve had enough. I think I could be the perfect, laid-back companion for someone with a quiet home - loud noises can still be pretty scary to me! Please come into the shelter to meet us and see how sweet I am!
Interested in adopting us? 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.
