Hi! I'm the handsome Donny. I've been told I should be sitting at the head of the class, because I am such a smart dog! I learn new things really quickly. When you meet me, you will see I get pretty excited! It's so hard to contain my happiness at meeting new people. I just love them so much! And dogs! Oh do I love other dogs! They are the best! I know how to sit, but sometimes the excitement is too much, and I get a case of the wiggles. I sure hope you'll come visit me at the shelter so I can meet you too. You'll get to see my wiggle dance! I promise I will ALWAYS get that excited EVERY time you come home! You won't ever question the kind of love I have to give!!!! Can't wait!
Interested in adopting me? 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 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.
