"Hi. I'm new here. They said I should introduce myself. Well here's me. I haven't quite figured out why I'm here. I'm not sure I love it yet. 😻Let's talk cats: I'm mildly interested - but don't chase. I walked towards the Princess who slipped under a car. Then I saw the gray one and walked slowly towards it, then the white one came out of barn, and I lost interest by then and turned away. I don't feel the need to spend a lot of energy pulling or chasing those things. Moving on to more interesting topics. 🐶I don't know if I like all the yapping inside. How do all those guys have so much to say.? 👨👩👦 I am not a fan of people standing and staring in at me in my space. That's rude. I'm ok one on one with people. I'll get back to that. I'm rather medium large size but I try to watch my figure. I'm not a boisterous outgoing gal. I'd rather read a book than jump all over you. I watch some of these yappers Carrying on, jumping all around -maybe one of us should change our diet. I don't have the time or energy for that behavior. Maybe I need to eat more fruit. Anywhooo.... If u want to meet me, ring me up in D10. It's a nice space with view of outside. I'm at the end of the row so I don't get bothered by too many other yappers. We will have to see if I can find a buddy in here. This one Lady is really nice and gives me pets and walks me. She says I'm beautiful. Maybe she will be my bff. I'm pretty independent, but maybe a friend or two wouldn't hurt. We will have to see. I'll be able to give you more info in a few days once I settle in."

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.
