Heavenly HeathCliFF is a real dream. Well....once he gets out of the kennel. He is not a fan of strangers staring at him in his kennel. But once he is by your side, it is smooth sailing. He has the most beautiful combination of brown colored Merle patterns and the most soulful eyes that reach right into your heart. He seems to have been a tie out dog based on his pattern of walking to the end of the leash and stopping. He has very polite leash manners and checks in often to give you a smile and sometimes a kiss. He came to us underweight and seems to have had rather irregular feeding sessions in his previous situation. He is conducting interviews for his furever family. Please stop by and meet him. Here are some of his terms and conditions 🤣 1. Please feed often. 2. Looking for love♥️💙💖 3. Likes to go for walks. Willing to wear outfits if prizes are involved. 4. Please give treats.... Any size, shape, flavor, texture or brand. Not picky. 5. Please give nice blanket. Pillow optional. 6. My own space...crate with a privacy curtain so people don't stare at me would be nice. 7. No returns please, I'm scared to get moved again. 8. Would like to learn some things the other kids know. down, and show your belly for a treat please. 9. Did I already say food? Well, more food then please. 10. Something called field trips. Sounds interesting. Thank you for coming to the interview. Once you fill out my app I'll contact you soon. Love. HeathCliFF🐾🐾

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.
