My story

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

Ethel is a gorgeous brindle girl whose sweet nature and affectionate personality make her a delight to be around. She might be a little shy when she first meets you, but give her just a little time, and she’ll reward your patience with her full, loving heart. Once she warms up, Ethel loves nothing more than showing her affection through full-body hugs, wiggly tail wags, and face kisses that will brighten your day. Ethel’s former family described her as incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves giving kisses and lounging in your lap, and is eager to please. She enjoys a good walk and getting treats. She seems completely content just lounging with her people. She is housebroken and can be crated when needed.

Ethel’s gentle and loving personality shines when she’s outside. Whether she’s exploring the yard or taking a stroll, she’s happy to be by your side. She does well on a leash and enjoys her walks, though she’s still learning to be brave around unfamiliar noises—something her future family can help her with through love and positive encouragement.

This sweet girl recently spent some time in a foster home during the snowstorm, and she’s proven to be an absolute delight. Ethel has been at her foster home for just a short time, but she’s already shown what a wonderful little houseguest she is. From the moment she arrived, she’s been a perfect companion—polite, affectionate, and eager to please.

Ethel listens really well and even knows how to give her paw upon request, showing off her clever side. She’s also a complete sweetheart when it comes to handling. Ethel let her foster family wipe her paws without any fuss, and she’s a super polite treat taker. Her gentle nature makes her easy to be around, and she’s always a pleasure to interact with. This cuddlebug loves being close to her people and doesn’t let her foster family out of her sight. She’s quick to stand up for a head scratch and will never turn down a chance to shower her humans with kisses. Ethel’s affectionate, loving nature is sure to make her the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal and sweet dog who enjoys both snuggles and attention. Ethel is a wonderful, well-behaved dog with a gentle and loving personality. She would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of affection, love, and attention.

Ethel prefers polite and respectful dog pals. She requests to meet any potential doggie roommates to be sure they are a good match.

Additional adoption info

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Address: 2490 Giles Road, Baltimore, MD 21225

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website.** Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. See below for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.

Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.

Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!

Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.

What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.

**Please note: Animals listed on our adoption pages may still be on stray hold and pending reunion with their owners, or have an existing pending adoption application.

More about this shelter

BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
