"Blizzy" has blown in with the recent cold front to the HSWC igloo factory. We welcome her with open paws. This delightful gal will wrap you up in a snowstorm of love. From her adorable flappy ears down to her long legs this spirited pup will make you fall in love with her before you can say snowflake. She is part Great Dane and who doesn't want to wake up each day and say "Great Dane in the morning to ya?!" Lively and fun this worker is all about quality control, making sure the igloos are made well for her outside friends. Whoever said that diamonds are a girl's best friend never owned a Great Dane! This 38 pound girly girl may look delicate but can also channel her tomboy side for some funny fun! Being part Great Dane she exhibits many breed characteristics.. once they love, they love steadily unchangingly. Great Danes are intelligent dogs who respond well to training because of their eagerness to please their owners. Because of their size and strength, it's important they are trained from an early age with plenty of positive reinforcement to stop them from pulling on the lead or jumping up. As a mix Blizzy may not get as big as some, but should still be trained to have good manners and harness some of her puppy energy and excitability. She can be found sprawled out on her office floor going over designs crunching numbers and chew bones. She can be bubbly out on walks, sputtering her range of emotions. She has some things to say to the neighbors about their barking but seems to settle down with some correction. She is a beautiful sparkling beauty queen who will add joy to your life.

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.
