My story

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

Meet Arizona!
(Aka Pearle to her close friends.)

💗💗💗💗💗
She has a sweet personality. She will melt your heart when you spend a few minutes with her. She can be slow to open up, but once she does the love pours out of her.

🌸🌸🌸
She will be a beauty queen once we get some really good nutrition in her and her skin heals a bit. She arrived in ruff shape but is improving daily. She is currently 60 pounds.

📖background:
Found by Animal control. Callers saw her being unloaded and abandoned in a field and called it in!
Great community work!!⭐️ If you see something say something has saved another life! ⭐️
Previous life experience may have been limited to a kennel and being a full time mom.
Now we have the opportunity to find her the perfect home where she will never have to have another unwanted litter. she can be spoiled, pampered and shown forever love.

🌕🐶She shows some defensive behavior around other dogs right now but that may be due to recently nursing and trying to protect herself in unfamiliar environment. She is opening up more every day and showing us more of her wonderful sweet personality with hoomans.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She did well during intake getting get shots and medicine. She tolerated the poking without reaction.

🐾🐾
Medium high energy. She can be an energetic walker and can use some leash training. Seems unfamiliar to her.

This sweet girl has already won the hearts of staff and volunteers. Come and meet our lovely pearley girl with the beautiful clouds in her eyes. You will want to float her right on out to your house! She will surround you with all the love she has!

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.
