Nova and Shantee have arrived here at HSWC k9 kindergarten. Their mom has signed them up for classes. They are all just starting to open up and figure out how amazing this place is. None of the three of them have had an easy life so far but all that will change now. Good things are coming their way. Unfortunately their previous caretakers were no longer able to look after them. No worries. This single mom has a great attitude and her kids are in good paws!
Nova is young and full of questions about life and all these creatures here. "What are the rules? Where do I sleep and get my treats? Am I passing all these tests? I like to bark outside the lines... Is that ok??" She is figuring is out. Here is more about this delightful gal:
🐾Easy walker right now. She gets excited and barks with joy. ✅Beautiful coat but could use some extra weight to fill out her new school clothes better.
Dog testing Results: ✅Pass. Ok with sister and mom. Ok at recess. will need to be taught how to manage her excitement level. Should probably look at being in a different class than sister bc the two together tend to protect, gossip and talk back a bit to teacher. They will be better as independent students!
🌕Outside cats are new and exciting to this young pup. She wants to chase and run and ask alot of questions (bark). She is easily redirected when her sister is not around. 🟢Nova passed inside cat testing BUT will need some training to teach her how to continue to be friends with kitties.
🟢She Loves people but has had a limited experiences. Basic training will help her become more confident. 🌕Go Slow with all new things! 🌕Go slow with introductions to kids and over-stimulating situations. ⭐️She is a beautiful pup ready to learn how to be her best self. Please come and be a part of her journey. She is highly trainable, willing to please and love unconditionally. Her future is bright, She has a lot to offer her forever family. More information will be given when she graduates about how to successfully transition her from our school to your home. The two week shut down will allow her to learn the new routine, adjust to her new surroundings peacefully and be a well mannered new member of your family. She is anxious to meet you and fall in love! Primary Color: Chocolate Secondary Color: White Weight: 45 Age: 0yrs 9mths 3wks

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.
