My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Aries!
This handsome young fella is excited to meet you! Here are some things he would like you to know:
Energetic fun playful! He throws himself at the world eagerly and without fear. He is an all star puppy.
He is driven to prove himself worthy of your love. He has medium high energy, bouncy and ambitious. He will naturally take charge because he has not been given much training so far. He is very smart and highly trainable.
He is active and doesn't like to waste time.
We have some dogs that are "quiet home -go slow dogs" ... this is not him! He's fun and ready to play ball with the kids.
✅Hiking ...you bet!
✅Running partner... sign him up!
✅Headed to Evo Chuck's, or Yappy hour at Market Street Inn? He'll be in the car before you are.
He loves to socialize!
We are looking to place him in the right home with a dedicated family that will help stop the cycle of passing dogs around. Invest in him and he will be worth it. The pay off will be a great best friend and well trained member of the community.
🟢🌕🐈‍⬛Walks by cats ok -but fearful. Needs to be taught what they are and how to be friends.
🟢 🐶ok walking by dogs. Came in with a small dog. Has puppy energy and bounciness.
✅ knows "sit"
🦴 takes treats politely.
He's 41 pounds of gorgeous Loveable love, ready to be shaped into the dog you want him to be.
He's got some growing to do and some bonding with his special hooman. He can't wait to get started.
He will be a great addition to your household.

A "meet and greet" is required with all family members and the pet prior to finalizing the adoption application. If someone is adopting a dog and has another dog at home, we also require a "meet and greet" for the dogs as well. All animals in the home must be up to date on vaccinations prior to new pet going home. We do not adopt to people who will keep the pet outside exclusively. We may do a home visit either pre or post-adoption. Animals adopted from us are not be sold or given to another person. We verify all information on the adoption application and may deny an application with any false information on it. A follow up call or visit is done on all adoptions within first 30 days of adoption.

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.
