My story

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

Onyx is a dapper guy with a sweet salt and pepper muzzle. He is often seen lounging with his front paws crossed like the gentleman he is. Onyx enjoys going for walks with our volunteers. In a prior home he did live with a cat. This sweet boy can't wait to find his forever home - come in to meet him and you might just find your new best friend!

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.
