Need a moment...grab a twix and it's your lucky day because that's me!
Hi! I'm Twix, and just like the candy bar I am a sweet, smooth guy. I am a 40lb 2-year-old pit mix that was found by some nice people and brought here to the HSWC Bed and Breakfast. I have my own room here that I like to keep tidy, and I am always so excited to go for walks. I love people and dogs seem cool. I think I might want to be bff with JR. He splashes around in the play yard and shows me what's going on here. The other dogs here don't bother me, I am actually thinking about hosting my own mediation group because smooth sailing is my jam. I can have some medium high energy. I'm interested in everything. Those cats seem fun. I might like a cat friend that can handle my bounciness. Especially if they come with their own snacks to share. I seem to do well with the tiny hoomans! I just like to give lots of kisses. I am an all-around great guy who is just looking for someone to share my love of walks, relaxing, and the occasional snackies (I promise I won't count if you don't :)) I would love to spend a few minutes, hours, or heck let's go on a day trip you know where to find me! Now if you don't mind, I am going to curl up with a good book, I can't wait to meet you! Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 47.2 Age: 2yrs 0mths 4wks

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.
