My story

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

Hi - Max here! I`m a sweet 5 year old girl with a beautiful tortoiseshell coat! I`m still pretty new here so I can be a little bit nervous, but bring me a squeeze treat and I`ll be sure to warm up to you in no time! You might even hear my purr machine start up - good luck getting it to stop! Loud noises can be scary so I`d do best in a quieter home with a patient family. I`m also what they call a `social eater` - this just means I like to eat with my people near by - I`m just more comfortable that way! Until I`m fully adjusted, I`ll come to you and let you know when I want some attention, love and pets - you might even get a quick kiss from me! Come out to meet me and see if I could be the perfect, laid-back companion for you!

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.
