Humane Society of Wicomico County

Humane Society of Wicomico County We are always in need of food and supplies and greatly appreciate anyone willing to help. We are extremely overcapacity and every little bit helps!
(175)

Our highest priority currently for January 2023 for our dogs are: wet dog food, dye-free treats, knuckle bones, and pill pockets. For our cats, we really need wet cat food (patè preferred, but any kind works) cat toys, purina kitten chow, dye-free purina cat chow, and high quality wet kitten food for our sick foster kittens. Dry cat and dog food (any kind, to be able to use for our food bank), Clo

rox clean spray, copy paper, and distilled water for our clinic is always needed. We feed our animals Hills Science Diet (adult cat/dog and puppy/kitten), if you’d like to donate a bag. Any item off of our list will help us tremendously. THANK YOU so much to anyone that has helped us - past, present, and future! Your support means so much to us and is helpful beyond words!

“Nobody asked to meet me today when I visited the shelter from my foster home. Just like the last time. And the time before that. I guess there’s always next week. At least I really hope so…” - Reese Cup

Reese was such a good girl today in the front office, but we’re so sad nobody asked for her! It was so easy to have her up there with how calm she was. She is so sweet and just the cutest low energy lovebug. We can’t believe she hasn’t had any interest. She really hopes someone wants to meet her soon 💕

Leo’s wonderful foster, Julia, sent photos from his day at All Paws Doggie Daycare today and OH MY GOODNESS, HOW CUTE?!

Please someone let Leo be your dog’s brother. He loves dogs way too much to not have a sibling. He also loves people way too much to not have a forever family. This sweet boy really deserves to find a home!

Special needs kitty looking for a special adopter! 😻

Nolan is one of the sweetest and most handsome cats you’ll ever meet. His markings are just so unique! He’s a “senior” at 9ish years old, and a big boy at 17 lbs, but that just means there’s more of him to love until he loses weight!

This sweet boy has urinary issues that require special food, or he could get a life threatening blockage. We sadly think that’s why he was dumped, because he was most likely having issues that could’ve easily been solved. If a Good Samaritan hadn’t brought him in, he probably would’ve died all alone in pain!

Luckily a special diet fixed his issues, and will continue to allow him to be just fine as long as he stays on it. He will need prescription urinary food, but we can write a prescription to get it filled online through Chewy or any site until he gets into his own vet.

He would either need to go home with other cats that are on the same food, or with someone who doesn’t let their current cats free feed and understands the importance of separate feedings.

Nolan is such a loving kitty and certainly too big to be stuck in a cage! We really hope someone falls in love with him soon 🤎

*Thank you so much to the wonderful people who have donated to help him with his food!*

Levi is practicing his dance moves, getting excited for next weekend!

We were originally planning on having a playlist of music for our 1st Annual Fur & Field Day, but we would love to have some live music if possible! We know it’s last minute, but are there any musicians out there that would like to come out and play some fun, upbeat songs for our event?

Please email [email protected] if you’d possibly be interested, and we can discuss fees and information. Thank you so much!

UPDATE: Russ should be leaving on a foster to adopt on Tuesday, and as long as he minds his manners with the kitties in the home, he will hopefully have found his forever home. Thank you everyone!

Poor Russ has been waiting all week thinking he was going to finally meet his new family and get adopted today, but now they have changed their minds.

We really hope someone can come meet this little muscular hunk and fall in love today, so that he still gets to go home and doesn’t have to spend yet another long weekend all alone.

Russ is a 2ish year old Jack Russell Terrier mix, so yes he has energy, but he is super sweet and such a fun little dude! He steals all the hearts around the shelter.

We really hope someone perfect comes along soon 🤎🤍

“I’ve been in my first foster home, gone to my first baseball game, worn my first set of designer accessories… but what I really want the most is my first family!

I’ll be at the shelter tomorrow from 11-1:30 really hoping that someone comes to ask for me. Nobody ever does when I visit. I promise I am such a good girl! I’d love nothing more than to watch a movie and cuddle you on the couch every night forever and ever. Please come ask for me… just this once?” - Reese Cup

Heinz can’t wait for our 1st Annual Fur & Field Day and is so excited that April will be there broadcasting live! (He says he really loves her and hopes there will be another couch to cuddle her on.)

Thank you so much to Coast Country Cares with Spicer Bros. Construction, Inc. for sponsoring our event and helping us to promote it!

We are still looking for more teams and volunteers, so please let us know if you’d like to join. Either way, we hope to see you all there shopping the vendors, buying some of our food, enjoying family fun, and visiting our animals!

April's Animals is sponsored by Baby Al's Towing in Westover. What a bundle of joy, I have for you today. Meet Heinz, a 3 year old hound dog mix that is super loving and fun! Heinz has some energy, but takes no time to settle down. He loves to go for rides, and if you take him for a walk, he will enjoy sniffing everything. He's nose to the ground. Please consider adopting Heinz. He gets along with dogs and cats, and will be a wonderful companion. You can meet him today at the Humane Society of Wicomico County. Be sure to sign up for the 1st Annual Fur & Field Day event set for Saturday, September 7th. It will be on of our Coast Country Cares events sponsored by Spicer Bros. Construction, Inc. I will be there broadcasting live from 11-1pm. -April

Heinz is such a good boy! He had the best day out yesterday visiting Coast Country 103.9 & 106.3 and was an absolute sweetheart.

We think this cutie is a Lab/Bassett Hound mix, but who really knows. He’s certainly the most adorable Heinz 57, and 100% has a lot of some type of hound in him, because his nose stays glued to the ground!

Heinz is about 3, and although he has a fair bit of energy when he first gets out, it’s just because he loves people so much and is so excited to meet anyone he possibly can.

If you’re looking for an adventure buddy by day and a cuddle buddy by night, Heinz is your guy. His smile and floppy ears will draw you in, and his love will convince you to fill out that app ❤️

We want to give a huge heartfelt welcome to our new clinical intern, Julia Dyer!

Not only does this Wonder Woman volunteer and foster for us, but now she’s doing an amazing internship with us on top of it.

We couldn’t be any more appreciative of her and are so excited to have her working in our clinic and becoming so much more involved. She has already done so much in her young life, and we just know she is going to go so far. Thank you for starting your journey with us, Julia ❤️

UPDATE: VACCINE CLINIC IS FULL (as of 11:30 AM on 8/29)

Thursday, September 19, 2024 from 2-4 PM

Please call us at 410-749-7603 to schedule (required pre-payments are non-refundable). We have about 40 spots available and will assign you a time when you call.

On the day of your appointment, all cats must be in carriers and all dogs leashed.

Your pets hope that you're keeping them up to date on their shots so they can live long and healthy lives 🐾

**Please do not call us about adopting this dog. As stated, if/when she becomes available for adoption, she will be listed on our website and people can submit an application, as is the procedure for all animals.**

We know this sweet girl must have a family that just doesn’t know to check with us. It’s always sad when that’s the case. Last try since she is now off stray hold - anyone that lives in the area and recognizes this dog?

Female found on Northumberland Dr. (Delmar, MD)

Boots and all the rest of us were blown away at the donations that arrived yesterday 🙀

Thank you so incredibly much to everyone who donated to us, and those who shared our post to try to help.

We truly appreciate our supporters and this is all certainly going to go such a long way for the cats and dogs!

We luckily have all the kitten chow we need now, but if anyone would still like to donate, we still have a few items off our wishlist we’re in need of.

We’re always in need, but especially when we’re so overcapacity! (Mostly small and medium martingale collars, knuckle bones, adopt me gear to help foster dogs, the prong collars one of our trainers uses that we need to send dogs to group training, and baby gates)

UPDATE: Buster has left on a foster to adopt!

How does Buster not have any apps?! He’s one of the cutest and sweetest dogs ever, so we’re certainly stumped.

4ish year old Buster was found trying to run the bases at the Fruitland Little League field. Now he says, “I’m not trying for a home run again… this time, I want to run into a home!”

This sweet boy loves people so much and cries every time he has to go back into his kennel. We really hope the day comes soon when he never has to walk back there again. Buster is heartworm positive (like so many of our dogs), but we cover his treatments. He’ll just need low activity and to rest during that short time, but once he’s all treated he’ll be so happy you saved his life!

He’s 40 lbs, good with all ages and other animals, and he’s certainly going to make whoever adopts him one lucky family. Please consider applying for this lovebug and giving him the second chance he deserves ❤️

Looking for something fun to do tonight? Come on out to the Delmarva Shorebirds game at 7 PM and meet some of our dogs that are currently out in foster!

This is a great chance to meet some of our pups that you can't meet at the shelter, while also having a fun filled night out.

Tinker, Brock, Leo, Kimbrel, Reese Cup, Levi, Funyun, and Cali will all be there with our wonderful fosters/volunteers, excited to meet some new faces and hoping they can find someone who wants to take them home forever.

Thank you to those that are taking the pups and to the Shorebirds for inviting us out with free tickets.

We hope to see some of you there! ⚾️🐾

“It’s Tuesday, which means we’ve been closed to the public for 2 days, and we’re all extra eager to get out for longer walks and time out of our kennels!” - Booker (if you come out, you’ll make him so happy he’ll show you his little corn teef smile)

We know it’s the last week before school starts and people are busy, but we’ve been slowing down with dog walkers lately and would especially love some extra help!

Even walking one dog makes the world of difference. They’re here for walks, time lounging in the grass, or day trips out of the shelter from 11:30-4:30 ❤️🐾

*The deck is closed today for Yappy Hour at Market Street Inn, but you can still get dog and human meals to go and picnic in the park!
