What a wild and wacky few weeks this has been. My life has been turned upside down. My people dropped me off in a crate with my best friend Papa. We slept outside under a tarp. We were very scared. Then they took us to the kennels. Lots of people staring at us. It was my job to protect us. I tried to keep everyone away by showing my teeth to keep us safe... Papa can be a push over. I didn't like people coming near our kennel at first but once out on a walk, I wanted nice petting and sweet talk and liked people much better. From then on I was pretty easy. Papa and I have lived a hard life, we are looking for a place called easy street now. Lots of love. We love to give cuddles. And we love attention. When you meet me, you might not think I'm pretty. Our friends say I'm beautiful but my fur is gone in some spots because I had dem flea critters pretty bad. I'm better now. But might need a sweater for a while.
We did our tests well: 🟢🐶Dogs ok. 🟢🐈⬛Cats ok. kinda scary. 🟢🐾 I'm an Easy walker. 52 pounds. 🟢 People ok now. A few things we don't know yet are kids. Maybe older kids to start with. ⚠️caution with new people approaching my space until i know you. 🟢👩⚕️We did ok getting shots and pokes. 🟢Sweet personality. Good manners. Neat in my kennel.
I'm making my list of new best friends: ❤️Someone to give me yummy wet food and pupperonis! ❤️I need a patient and loving home. ❤️I need someone who will help me open up in my time. ❤️I need someone who knows how to give nice rubs on my sides. Feels so good! ❤️I'm not much for wrestling and jumping all around. I'd like a calm and quiet home.
Come and join me in exploring the rest of my life. I want to turn over a new leaf, I will be an amazing companion and we will have wonderful adventures together! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 52 Age: 3yrs 1mths 3wks

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Wicomico County was started in 1968 by a group of people who wanted to help improve the lives of animals. We have come a long way in our 40+ years! We have a staff dedicated to making sure the animals that come to our doors are loved and protected as they wait for their forever home. Not only are our animals vaccinated, wormed and given flea preventative, we can treat animals that come to us with mange, ringworm, heartworm and pay for animals to be seen by an outside vet should there be a need. We have an on-site spay/neuter clinic that not only is used for our animals but we also offer low cost spay/neuter for animals of the public. We provide emergency boarding for victims of domestic abuse, fire, and medical emergencies. We also have the capability to set up an off-site emergency shelter for people evacuated from their homes. In addition, we have an education program to help teach kids about being a responsible pet guardian. We work with a wide range of rescue groups and our animals have been transported from our mid-Atlantic area throughout the North Eastern United States. Our shelter is an open admission shelter and we will take in approximately 3500 animals this year. We do what we do because of our love for animals and our desire to make a difference in their lives every single day.
