My story

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

Ahoy! I’m Skipper, a handsome seven-year-old pup with a heart full of love and loyalty. Don’t let my age fool you—I still have plenty of energy to chase my toys and enjoy a good game of fetch. But when playtime is over, I’m more than happy to transform into the ultimate couch potato and keep you company for a cozy movie night.

I think I’m a big lap dog (and honestly, I’m pretty good at it!). I’m sweet, laid-back, and always ready to shower you with affection. Give me a little time to get comfortable, and you`ll see just how wonderful and loving I am.

Recently, I went on a field trip to an office, and guess what? I was an amazing companion! I made new friends, enjoyed tasty treats, and relaxed like a pro. I’m the perfect mix of playful and easygoing—ready to fit right into your life.

If you’re looking for a playful and devoted friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, I’m your guy. Come meet me and see why I’m the perfect mix of fun and relaxation!


Interested in adopting me? I am in a foster home so things need to be done a little differently. We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then calling the shelter to let them know you are interested in meeting me! 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.
