My story

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

Rosco P Soultrain has cruised into HSWC dance academy. This guy is quite the fun fella.
He's got some smooth moves that will keep you laughing. He's a romantic, a sweet talker, he will charm you in 5 seconds flat. He is looking small but walking tall. He has made friends on his first day here.
He doesn't require much. He can entertain himself just fine but hey if you are up for a walk... or a tango Let's go!!
Rocking Rosco is always up for an adventure.
He has a great attitude. He keeps asking where his person is...
We don't have the heart to tell him he was given up. That might crush him. He's such a handsome fella and very observant. He will sit down and just watch the other dogs go by. He's not sure he wants to be a big brother. He's been an only child until his person got another dog recently and then didn't want Rosco anymore. You see why we can't tell him? This guy deserves to be #1.
Can you help him out? He's looking for a new dance partner. A loyal and dedicated one that will give him a forever home. He's interested in walks, naps, and watching Dancing with the Stars together. WHO is ready for this guy? He is solid Gold!!

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.
