My story

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

Meet Petunia! She is a beautiful, delicate flower who is just wants to be loved by you!

Looking for a playful, lovable, and downright delightful companion? Meet Petunia, a 4-year-old sweetheart with the spirit of a puppy and a heart full of love! Petunia has so much love to offer she needs to be the only pet in your home. She`ll more than make up for it and will provide you with unending love and happiness.

Petunia is the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter. Whether she’s greeting you with a tail wag that could power a small fan, climbing into your lap for snuggles, or happily soaking up kisses, she knows how to charm everyone she meets — staff, volunteers, and strangers alike!

Petunia’s Favorite Things:

- Car rides! She’ll sit like a little human in the back seat, quietly, especially if there’s a pup cup involved.
- Toys and treats. This girl loves her enrichment activities, plushies, and chewy bones.
- Water fun. Word on the street is Petunia is a pool girly!
- Learning new tricks. She already knows sit and paw, and she’s so eager to please.
- Playtime and attention. She’s always up for a little adventure or a cuddle on the couch.

Petunia is also very polite about letting you know when she needs a potty break — a gentle stare and a baby whimper is her way of saying, “excuse me, can we step outside?” With a consistent routine, she’ll be fully house trained in no time.

She’s playful and puppy-like, occasionally hopping up when she’s excited, but it’s all part of her adorable charm. Petunia would thrive with an active person or family who loves outdoor fun, belly rubs, and spontaneous car ride adventures.

Trust us — once you meet Petunia, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.

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.
