Hi… I’m Cocoa. I’m a 2-year-old orange girl (yes, an orange female — we’re special like that ). I just arrived at the shelter, and everything is still a little new and a little strange to me. I’m being brave, though. I have the softest orange fur — like warm cocoa with a splash of cream — and big curious eyes that are still figuring this place out. Sometimes I sit quietly and watch. Sometimes I gather up my courage and explore. Once I know I’m safe, I really start to shine. I like gentle pets, cozy blankets, and soft voices. If you move slowly with me and let me come to you, I’ll reward you with sweet purrs and maybe even a head bump. I’ve got a tender heart, and I’m just looking for someone who will give me a little time and a lot of love. I may be new here, but I’m ready for my forever home. Maybe it’s with you
Interested in adopting me? 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.
