Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

In 1927, Elsie Seeger Barton founded the Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS.) Since that time, Ms. Barton’s selfless dream of establishing a refuge for abused and homeless animals has since come to fruition, situated on 365 acres of peaceful farmland in Reisterstown, Maryland. Over the years, BHS has provided safe and loving homes for literally hundreds of thousands of wonderful animals. In addition, Nicodemus Memorial Park, on the grounds of BHS, provides a final resting place for many beloved pets. And finally, the unused acres of land serve as a nature preserve, alive with deer, fox, several species of birds, and numerous other types of local wildlife.

Since inception, the Baltimore Humane Society has strived to reach its potential and to achieve its mission.
