Hi there! I’m Venus, a 4-year-old black and white girl with a soft heart and an even softer spot for my sister, Serena. We’ve been together our whole lives, so we’re a bonded pair looking for a forever home big enough for this power duo! Serena and I are easygoing, sweet, and a little talkative—we enjoy sharing our thoughts with our people. You’ll often find us lounging side by side in a sunny window, basking in the warmth and watching the birds go by. We truly enjoy each other’s company and bring a calm, comforting presence to any home. If you’re looking for not one but two loving companions who come as a perfectly matched set, Serena and I would love to meet you.
Interested in adopting us? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours 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/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.
