*Pre-approving applications for our foster puppies and their mom's. Meet and greets will be scheduled, at the earliest, October 29th to November 2nd. Puppies will be available to go home, at the earliest, November 2nd (when they are 8 or 9 weeks old).*
Molly was really hard to get good pics but here is what I have you can choose which you like. Her bio should say Miss Molly they call me because I am such a classy lady. They say I am such a good girl and a really good mama. I am still figuring out this new world around me I have never been around lots of people before at least not ones who give me such good belly rubs. I haven't had the best start in life but I am still young and looking for a forever home to continue showing me what it's like to be a dog. It takes me a while to warm up to people but once I do you will be my new BFF and I would love nothing more than a nice spot on the couch next to my humans. I don't like to wander far from my people so I am really good on and off leash because you can always find me right next to you. If you can be patient with me I promise to be the bestest friend you ever had. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 46 Age: 3yrs 1mths 0wks

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.
