Hi folks. They said I should reintroduce myself... I'm Russell, Russ, Russ-t. Or anything you want to call me is fine. Wow, one minute you are cruising along, living your best life and the next minute -whammy you are back where you were 5 years ago. It feels like yesterday I left this place behind. I found myself a family and a comfy home. I don't know what I did to get back here. But I'm sure looking for that worm hole to zap me back to my folks. I keep replaying everything. I can't figure it out. ✅I was a good boy ✅I didn't mess in my house. ✅I am a good companion, and good listener. When the tiny hooman arrived I didn't know what to make of that. I was a little nervous and then I thought I would try play mode. They said I'm too big. I don't know what that means. Well, you can be sure I've been on my best behavior since I got back here. I It's good to make friends I've always thought. I sit at my door and greet everyone with a nice tail wag. I hear they really like that. Next, I turn on the charm, head tilt with dreamy soulful eyes. And they say "oh how handsome you are! " Then I know I'm doing good. Here come the treats...yup! thank you very much! I take them treats easy. I don't want to look desperate. I am a young fella. I like my walks and exercise, but I know you there with only the two legs can't go as fast as me...so I go easy on you. I am very into you. I check in to be sure you are ok. I sure hope my people will come for me, but it's looking like I better start to move on. So if you can find a small place in your heart and home for an orphan, I'd sure like to meet you and give you nice warm snuggles- (ok don't tell the other dogs I said that. I have an image to maintain. ) Here is what I'm looking for: ⚠️Smaller female dogs ???maybe??? I'm pretty picky about who I hang with. I was jumped on as a pup and have a cool scar that makes me look tough. ⚠️I like to chase cats, boy is that fun. Maybe I like older kids to live with? The tiny ones are unreliable. 👀 My Eye has healed from corneal ulcer and it doesn't bother me. Gives me that dreamy look! ✅I am well mannered. I have come along way. I'm smart and want to continue my training. ✅I know sit. ✅I let the nice ladies put sweaters on me. I take all the love I can get. That's all about me, I'd love to meet you and start our new life together : adventures, truck rides, and of course yummy snacks and lots of love! I've had trouble in the past keeping long term relationships going. I really need someone to give me my forever home. Maybe they just get tired of me. I'll try to do better. I need you!!

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.
