For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Who doesn't love a good NOODLE?! Long, short, flat or ramen they are all so good. We have our very own HSWC slick Noodle. Come and meet her, you will be sure to have an enjoyable visit. Almost as good as a bowl of buttered -you guessed it-noodles. She considers herself more of a potsticker or lil' dumpling with lots of good stuff on the inside. She has a lovely personality but can be distracted when walking outside with all the sights, smells and sounds to check out. When she is in her kennel she wants only to BeWithYou BeWithYou BeWithYou!!! Noodle can be a variety of companions all in one- from an adventurous flavorful hiking partner to a macaroni and cheese snuggler on the sofa. But she's no noodle soup! She is a strong very durable noodle. Like a really thick lasagna. Noodles can have a bad reputation for being unhealthy but not our Noodle-roni! in fact, she is quite the healthy noodle. She suggests quinoa, rice and seaweed noodles to keep your figure looking as good as hers! No need to add high calorie sauce She is sweet enough already! This spicy little spaghetti with meatball dish will entertain you all day long. Her background is another story of LDH...Let down by hoomans. She has been passed around. She could use and good chef trainer owner to help her be her best self. She could use some accents of manners and some basic skill sauce to make this dish perfecto!! She is no egg head noodle she is a fast learner. She will pick things up quicker than you can slurp down a spaghetti noodle. Have we peaked your curiosity about this delightful dish or just made you hungry? Either way come on out and spend some love on this sweet girl. She will be happy to share your Fratelli's take out lunch! ✔️👨👩👦👦 🐶She has alot to tell us:She is showing some barking right now at other dogs. Meet and greets are required to determine sibling placement. 🐾She is a strong walker who will need exercise and training. Approx 65 pounds. We are learning more about her every day. Please ask a staff member or volunteer more about this charming Noodle. As she settles in she will show us more about herself. ⚠️She is a dog that should have supervised interaction with cats and dogs in the home for the first two weeks to observe her style of socializing and build positive relationships. Please refer to the two week shut material and 3-3-3 manner of transitioning your new best friend to her new forever home.

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.
