Well there you have it. I am king. I'm going to skip all the English references, But you get it, get my crown ready. 👑 I'm really rather like a taco. And who doesn't love a good taco? You've got timid tomatoes, curious cheese, lovely lettuce with a nice little crunch and of course grrrreat ground beef. I'm all that plus some. Maybe you want shrimp in your taco- well that's not me. I'm 60 Pounds. long and lean. Like a nice slice of crispy chicken. Nope- I'm not really chicken but back to the tomatoes- I am very cautious about new things- and and excited at the same time. Salsa? Yup I'm sweet with bit of Spicey. I can be mild if prefer or medium, but I'm not really a hot salsa guy. Don't forget the creamy sour cream -like the beautiful white fur that accents my handsome head and neck. (Low-fat please I have a great figure and want to keep my weight the same). Are you hungry yet? I am. but guess what? I'm not that much of a foodie. I'd rather have cuddles, some nice meaty belly rubs and ear scratches. And don't just give me a few fingers, I want the whole hand please. What else can I tell you about me. 📖 Background: I had a bff hooman and a house. Then poof both gone. I took a ride in a cool truck. I do not care for cages. I'm easily approachable. 👍Cats. They're ok. 👍Dogs. Sure. I love that Burton kid he is a rock star. I watched him cruises the play yard. I want to hang out with him. He splashes and dashes and carries all the toys around like he's King of the PlayYard- I could learn a few tricks from him I think. 🙋♂️People? Love them! just like you might love a good taco salad, or the smooth soft taco. I love being being with my people. So come on over to the HSWC food truck. Get in line to get...me!!! We can go hang out and get some.... Hot dogs! Fooled you. You thought I might say taco. 😉 ✅👍 great personality, easy walker. ✅👍volunteer favorite. ✅👍 other animals. Due to my timid tomato nature transitions should be slow. Intros to new things, also slow. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 74.6 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

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.
