No Adoption Fee in February! No Adoption Fee in February! Brutus

Hello there! My name is Brutus, and I came to BHS from another shelter when they

ran out of room for me. I am a sweet boy who loves people, but I sometimes tend to

forget how big I am so I might jump a little bit at first! I like to go for walks, but I am

quite strong so the staff walks me wearing a harness and metal leash. I don't get

along with cats, and can be "dog selective," so I would be very happy being the

only animal in the home since I like to be the center of attention! Due to my size, it

would be best for me to be around children over 12 years of age. I am not entirely

housetrained so you would need to work with me on that issue. I would love to find

a forever home where I can be someone's great, loyal, long-time friend, so please fill

out an application 1st if you want to meet me. If you would like to try fostering me

1st, please still fill out an application and specify foster. Thank you.

Hey, there! My name is Starr. I was originally brought to BHS from another shelter

through which I was being fostered. I'm an energetic girl who's looking for an active

family with whom I can go for long walks, play ball, do some hiking, and other fun

activities. In my "down" time I still like to keep busy by chewing on Kongs and

Nylabones. Through positive reinforcement, I've been learning tons of verbal and

hand signal commands and I'd love to continue lessons with my new family...it would

be yet another fun activity to do together! I also love agility and have been getting

quite good at it. I'm looking for a forever home full of love and good times. I'm a

sweet girl who just wants to light up the night of your sky! Please stop by to meet me

soon. I can't wait to start our future together!

No Adoption Fee in February! No Adoption Fee in February! aurora

Hi there. My name is Aurora. My owner had to bring me to BHS because her

landlord was going to evict her if she kept me. I have been here awhile because it

takes me a little time to warm up to people. I get scared of new people, particularly

men, especially loud men, and may growl at you until I learn to trust you. I lived with

another dog in my previous home, but since I have been here at BHS they have

realized that it would be better for me to be in a household where I am the only dog.

Cats don't bother me unless they start to swat or hiss, so if you have a cat and want to

adopt me you will need to make sure that we get along. I have never lived with

children, but my previous owner said I may be okay with kids12 and over. Tammy is a

manager here at BHS and I am her favorite dog :) She is hoping that I can find a

forever home with someone who will be patient, calm, understanding and love me as

much as she does. I am really afraid here, so it will be better if we meet outside of the

cage. Please come and see me soon if you are interested in a sweet dog like me!

BMORE HUMANE LONELY HEARTS CLUB MEMBER SINCE SEPTEMBER , 2011

Hello, there! My name is Penelope. To tell you a bit about myself, I was originally

brought to BHS in September of 2010 from another shelter, because they had no room

for me. In the beginning, I was a sweet, bashful girl, and I was adopted a few months

later. However, I was returned this past winter due to "issues" I was having with people.

See, my adopters had sent me to a boarding kennel for "training," and the people there

actually used a shock collar on me. I was so scared and confused! I couldn't

understand what was happening, and didn't know how to behave. Upon my return to

BHS, I was sent to a foster home in the hopes that the quieter environment would be

easier on me than the kennel. Unfortunately, the other dog there actually attacked me.

So here I am again! Because of everything I've been through, I'm a little unsure around

some people, and sudden movements make me nervous. I also don't like to have my

paws touched. However, I'm still a sweet, playful girl who loves long walks, belly rubs,

and treats! I'm responding very well to requests like "sit" and "down," and will endearingly

give you my paw to get your attention. I'm looking for a quiet, ALL ADULT household

with no other companion animals so that I can be the only child and have all your

attention. The right family for me will be patient and understanding; and in return, I'll

give them a lifetime of love!

BMORE HUMANE LONELY HEARTS CLUB MEMBER S INCE OCTOBER , 2011

My name is Wyatt. I came to BHS from another shelter where I had run out of time. I have

been through a lot in my young life. I was originally found on the streets of Baltimore with what

appeared to be bite wounds all over me, and my knee was fractured… OUCH! Thankfully, my knee

was repaired. I'm now in a foster home until I can find my forever home. I'm a very sweet, energetic

guy who loves to be around people. In fact, I tend to actually jump on the people I like best because

I'm so happy to see them! Snuggling with people is one of my favorite things to do. I also love food,

playing with toys, and carrying them outside. My foster mom reports that when I get over-excited,

I've even learned how to try to calm myself down with the help of my toys. In my foster home I'm

learning how to walk well on a leash; and have learned to respond to requests like "sit," "down off,"

and "dog in a box" (which means "go to your crate"). According to my foster parents, "He even puts

himself in the crate when he knows that it's time for me to go to work in the morning. If I don't have

morning overtime, he gets confused about why I don't close the door!" I've never been around

cats, so I'm not sure how I would feel about them; although I'm pretty calm around cats I see in the

neighborhood. I basically prefer to have all your love and attention for myself and would really like

to be the only dog in your family. I'd love to get started on our future together, Please make a date

to meet me!

6 YEAR OLD , AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER M IX , MALE

BMORE HUMANE LONELY HEARTS CLUB MEMBER SINCE OCTOBER , 2011

Hi, everyone! My name is Tippy, Tippy the Tank! I'm a member of the famous "Pit 6

Crew." (We were in the news!) Although I may be something of a celebrity, I'm truly a

down-to-earth guy who loves tennis balls and long walks. While my history is open for

speculation, I don't think too much about that. I'm just a happy, well-adjusted dog

with a larger-than-life personality. I'm incredibly affectionate and I love people and

giving kisses - lots of them! In my time at BHS, I've learned basic manners and

obedience through positive reinforcement training. As with all the Pit 6, when I find

my forever home, I will also be provided with a lifetime of behavioral and obedience

consultation as well. What a deal, huh?! If you have children, they should be at least

13 years old. I've got energy to spare, and am looking for an active family on whom

I can lavish all the love I've been storing up for the past several years I've spent in

cages. I've been waiting a LONG time to find my forever home so if you're looking

for a guy who will provide a lifetime of love, please submit an application to get the

process started ASAP! I can't wait to begin our bright new future together!

No Adoption Fee in February! No Adoption Fee in February! shadow

Hello! My name is Shadow, and I've been around the block a couple times. You see,

I thought I had found my forever home, but unfortunately I was returned back in

February 2011. My previous adopter was told they couldn't keep me where they were

living, and I guess they were unable to move with me. I was adopted AGAIN within a few

months; but returned again! I guess that home just wasn't the one for me, either. I'm

REALLY hoping that this time I'll find my true forever home! I'm an active guy who loves

playing with toys and taking long walks; but I also enjoy snuggling on the couch. I also

love food; so much so that I'm not nuts about being bothered while I eat, so please keep

this in mind! I'm okay with some dogs, but not all and am really looking to be an only

child (human or four-legged)… that way I can have you all to myself! If you do have

children, though, it would be best if they are at least 14 years old. Through positive

reinforcement, I've been learning how to respond to verbal and hand signal requests like

"sit" and "down," and I'd love to continue lessons with my new family. It would be a fun

and useful activity to do together! I'm really hoping that the third time will be the charm

this time around, and that I can find my true happily forever after home.

Hi everybody! My name is Mona, and I was brought to BHS from Animal Control.

They had run out of space, and I was about to pay the price. I was literally about to

be euthanized, when at the very last second my life was saved by some real-life

heroes! BHS said they would take me in to give me a chance at life in a happy

home, and now I am ready to be adopted. I'm an active girl with lots of energy;

where's the party?! I love to jump and give you kisses, and am responding well to

requests like "sit," "down," and "give." I'd really like to work on even more lessons with

my new family! I love meeting new people, but I'm not nuts about cats or other

dogs...I really just want to be the queen of your castle so I can have you all to

myself! I would also be best with children 14 or over, simply because younger chil-

dren may leave a fence or gate open, and that would not be the best scenario for

neighborhood cats or dogs. After getting a new "leash" on life, I'm ready to settle in

with a family of my own with whom I can live each day to the fullest! Please stop by

soon. I can't wait to start our future together!

Hi, everyone! My name is Maris, and I'm a member of the famous "Pit 6 Crew" (we

were in the news!). Although I may be something of a celebrity, I'm also told that I

have a magnificent personality and beautiful disposition. While my history is open for

speculation, I don't think too much about that; my outgoing personality, affection

towards people, and all-around love of life make me a truly exceptional dog! I've

been given an education in obedience, and have excellent manners. In fact, I'm

known as the "heeling queen" here at the shelter! As with all the Pit 6, when I find my

forever home, I will also be provided with a lifetime of behavioral and obedience

consultation as well. I've got energy to spare, but I'm also content snuggling up in

your arms. I love long walks, playtime in the yard, and tennis balls! I really want to be

the only dog in your household- no cats either, please- so I can have you all to

myself. If you have children, it would be best if they are at least 10 years or older.

After spending the last few years in cages, I'm way overdue for a regular life with a

great family in a true forever home! If you're looking for a dog who will provide a

lifetime of love, please submit an application and stop by to meet me.

MeMe is a senior English Staffordshire Terrier mix; although you would never know it!

This fast-as-lightning pup has a truly warm, loving personality. She is a member of the

Pit 6 Crew with a sad story behind her as well. After she was rescued from her

dreadful living conditions, she was then placed in Animal Control for two years

awaiting the conviction of her previous owner for Animal Abuse. Now that she is with

BHS, MeMe is being educated on manners and obedience. She is a very smart dog

who has made tremendous progress in a very short period of time. MeMe wants

nothing more in life than to be shown love and affection. In fact, she will often press

herself tightly against people just so she can be as close as she possibly can; all the

while giving kisses and showing off her belly! She is as playful and energetic as a

young puppy. Please come meet this beautiful love bug - she will make you fall in

love!

BMORE HUMANE LONELY HEARTS CLUB MEMBER S INCE DECEMBER , 2011

Hi! My name is Rosie. I was found running down a road all alone and now I’m up for

adoption! I'm an active girl with lots of energy. You may notice me in my run jumping

up and down for hours...boing, boing! I adore playtime with all kinds of toys and lots

of long walks, but I'll also lay on a couch or in your lap and settle in for a nap. Not

much is known about my past, but so far the staff has learned that I can be okay

with other dogs. So if you have a dog, the staff will schedule a meet-and-greet be-

tween us to see how we get along! I'm learning to get a handle on the whole "potty-

training" thing; as well as how to respond to requests like "sit" and "down." I'd like to

continue lessons with my new family. I'm an all-around sweet dog who may be good

with children who are at least 12 years old due to my high level of activity. If you

have any, I'd love to meet them! I would really like to find a forever home filled with

love and happiness. Could it be with you? Please stop by to meet me soon!

BMORE HUMANE LONELY HEARTS CLUB MEMBER S INCE DECEMBER , 2011

Pleased to meet you! My name is Josie, and I was brought here from another shelter

because they had no more room for me. I am a very sweet, spunky girl who's looking

for some action! I'd love for my family to take me jogging, hiking, or at least on lots of

long walks. I get so excited about all the places to go and see that sometimes I

forget and pull a little hard. That’s why I walk best on an Easy Walk harness. I'm pretty

picky about other dogs - and cats - so I'd prefer to be the queen of the castle.

Because I like kids, but may get a little excited around them, it would probably be

better for me to only be around those who are 8 or older. I’d hate to accidentally

knock them over! I enjoy tennis balls and nyla bones, but when it comes to stuffed

animals and rope toys, I love them a little too much and just eat them (whoops!). As

you can probably tell, I try to live life to the fullest. I can't wait to get started on my

exciting new future with you. Please stop by for a visit soon and we can get my

adoption started!

Hi, there! My name is Diamond. I was originally brought to BHS in March of 2011

because my previous guardian felt he could no longer keep me in his tiny

apartment. I was adopted once, but was returned because they said I wasn't the

dog for them. My feelings were hurt, but at least I can now find my forever family!

Since I've been here I've had play dates with other dogs. Naturally I don't like

EVERY dog I meet, but if you have another dog, the staff here will schedule a

meet-and-greet between us to see how we get along. I love just about everyone

I meet, although sometimes I’m a little scared of small children. I'm an active girl

who loves hiking and playing with my toys, especially the squeaky ones!

Sometimes I don't like to share them - and I definitely don't like to share my food -

so please keep that in mind. I'm doing really well responding to requests like "sit"

and "down." Stop by so I can show off to you! Let me bring some sparkle to your

life!

I also was stressed and would nibble a bit on the sofas in my previous

owner’s home, which he didn't like very much. I just need a home

where it’s calm, quiet, and relaxing. I would probably even prefer

no other animals as I get a little anxious. I am the prettiest, and

and family who will love me unconditionally! If you are it, come visit

Hi there! My name is Pawsy, and I am on a search for my forever home! I was

adopted from BHS back in 2010, but was returned because I was having

"litterbox issues." I seem to be doing just fine with my litterbox here at the shelter.

The staff speculates that perhaps, like many cats, I simply have a preferred litter

texture that I like to use. My previous guardians said I seemed to want to go

outside a lot, so I would love some big sunny windows to sit in! I'm a real

sweetheart who likes people and really hope you'll seriously consider me as a

new addition to your family. I'm currently staying in a communal cat room at BHS

so if you have other cats, the more the merrier! Just be sure to give us plenty of

time to adjust. I just know I could be the girl for you. Please stop by to meet me!

Hello! My name is Simkah, and I was brought to BHS with my sister

Sicily because our previous guardian could no longer take care of

us. I'm an independent girl who wouldn't necessarily be considered

a lap cat. However I really enjoy being around people, and I love

to watch what you're doing and get a good ear scratch. I was

adopted, but unfortunately was returned because I was having

some trouble adjusting to the new environment AND another cat --

and the people weren't able to give me more than a few weeks to

settle in. I hoping so hard that the 3rd time will be a charm, and that

I can find my true forever home where I'll be queen of the castle!

Won't you give me a chance? Please stop by to meet me soon.

Hi there! My name is Faith, and I am one of a litter of 5 female

kittens who were very, very young when brought to BHS and put

right into the foster system. Now we are healthy and old enough to

be adopted. At this point, it's just my sister Ava and I who are hop-

ing so very hard to find a fabulous forever home! Because Ava and

I have been waiting together so long, we are considered a

"bonded pair." That means we need to find a home together.

Could it be with you? Just think -- twice the love! Please stop by

and visit soon.

Hi there! My name is Baby I was brought to BHS with my housemate

Hello! My name is Paintball, because I was found by a nice group

of guys at a paintball course. It didn't take long for the staff here to

learn that I'm a total sweetheart who really likes people! No one

knows how long I was wandering outside all alone, so now I'm

hoping so much to find my very own warm, loving forever home! I

love to lay on soft beds and get lots of attention. Are you looking

for a special someone to share your heart and home? Please look

Hello! My name is Mimosa. I was originally adopted from BHS in 2008,

but I have been returned because my previous adopter could no

longer care for me. Sometime in my past, someone actually had parts

of my front toes amputated (ouch!), which is also known as being

declawed. Because of this, I can be a little feisty and wouldn't be

considered a "lap cat." However, if you'd like a lovely, loyal

companion to share your life, then look no further! I'm really hoping

that I can find my true forever home this time around. Please tell me it

will be with you!

Hello! My name is Goo, and I was brought to BHS with my sister Tara

after we were found outside of a vet hospital. The nice staff there

took care of us for awhile, but they couldn't do it forever! Tara has

already been adopted. So now I'm really hoping to find my forever

home as well. Sometimes I do have a tendency to be a little timid,

so just be patient with me please; it won't be long before I warm

up and fall in love with you! If you are looking to add a nice young

girl to your family, then please visit BHS soon so you can see how

sweet I am for yourself. Thank you!

Hi, everyone! My name is Nintendo, and I was brought to BHS

because my previous guardians could no longer afford to give me the

care I deserve. I have lived in a home with another cat, Yoshi, so I may

do just fine with any others in your home. Of course, we always need

an adjustment period! I am still a bit scared in this environment, so

please keep that in mind if you decide to meet me. I can be a pretty

independent kind of guy; perfect for someone who might have a busy

work schedule, but would like to come home to a warm, furry friend at

night! I'm really hoping to find my forever home ASAP. If you think I

could be the guy for you, please look no further!

Yukon Medical Fund

Yukon’s Story...

Yukon was brought to Baltimore Humane Society in April of 2010. At that time,

he was a one year old male, husky-mix full of energy and optimism. When

Yukon was being neutered, the veterinarian at the shelter discovered he had a

very large cleft palate on the roof of his mouth. He was probably born with this

abnormality and was lucky to have survived. Most dogs with an opening as

large as Yukon’s cleft palate, would have died due to pneumonia, but Yukon

beat the odds and survived an entire year with this medical condition.

As a no-kill shelter, Baltimore Humane Society is dedicated to helping it’s shelter

residents medically so they can live full lives. By working with the Animal Dental

Center, an area specialty practice located on Cromwell Bridge Road in Tow-

son, Yukon was scheduled for a surgical procedure to repair his cleft palate. Dr.

Ira Luskin and Dr. Tiffany Brown, both Diplomates of the American Veterinary

Dental College, devised a surgical plan to get Yukon healthy again. According

to Dr. Luskin, the owner of the Animal Dental Center, “We love being able to

help our patients and serve our community by working with organizations such

as yours to make those small differences in the lives of these animals and

hopefully offer them a better quality of life as a result.” Yukon has several

extensive oral surgeries and is now fully recovered. He is living with a very

special adoptive family who made a place in their home and hearts for him.

When a pet is surrendered to the Baltimore Humane Society, they are: examined by a staff veterinarian

vaccinated for the most common infectious diseases

tested for heartworm (if a dog) or feline leukemia and feline

immunodeficiency virus (if a cat)

wormed for intestinal parasites

treated with flea prevention

microchipped

spayed or neutered before being placed up for adoption

This generally costs the shelter a significant amount of money, but it’s a worthwhile

investment for a chance for a pet to get a “Forever Home”. Unfortunately, not all

animals come to the shelter in a healthy condition. Some, like Yukon, are found to

have medical conditions that require further diagnostics, advanced medical

treatment, and sometimes advanced surgical procedures before they can be

adopted out to the community. Even with the generous discounts that these wonderful specialists are able to offer

the shelter, advanced medical care like the care that Yukon received can get ex-

pensive for a non-profit shelter organization. At the Baltimore Humane Society, if an

animal arrives with a medical condition that is treatable, they will receive the

medical care necessary to get them healthy again and adopted out into the

community. The cost of these medical procedures can add up quickly and place a huge

financial burden on an already strained animal shelter’s budget. That’s why we

developed “The YUKON Fund” to be a pool of monetary donations set aside

specifically for the advanced medical needs of shelter residents. Now shelter animals that require further medical attention can receive the same

quality of veterinary care that owned animals receive. With your generous donation,

every animal surrendered to Baltimore Humane Society will have a chance to

have a healthy life in a “Forever Home.”
