Loveable Lab BUTTERS here... As in butters-cotch, butter-on-your popcorn and butter-my-biscuit! I'm a heavenly delight. Now, don't misunderstand. I had another name before - but I'm making a fresh start and what butter way to do that than with something everyone loves... yummy me butter. Now what you need to know about me is this: I'm not bold. I'm not going to jump in your lap or jump up in your face. I'm gentle and easy squeezey I'm a bit Timid and need some help with my confidence. I need me some butter training. That will help me be my best self. I like easy pets, I'm still a bit nervous with fast movements around my hips where I can't see. I cry...but we don't know why. I miss someone -maybe my kid friend. I have been tossed all around by people. I don't know where I belong. ❤️Please help me belong with you. I need walks and to know someone is kindly in charge. I walk by dogs and cats fine and did really well with my cat test. I need to know basics like sit, down, paw. I need to learn to be my best self. I will do best in transitioning to your home to follow the two week whatchmacallit shut down. That's where we hunker down at your place and learn my new routine. (And if there's popcorn with butter even better!) No visitors to freak me out. No trips to the beach ...yikes. That's too much for me. But lots of ball playing would be great!! Just you and me. Getting to know each other. Then we will be smooth sailing. We be getting along smooth like well -you guessed it... butter! I don't mind anything right now except being alone. I'm a tall drink of water and 74 pounds of sweet sunshine! Please come and ask for Butters, I might take a few minutes to warm up, but soon I be melting your heart.

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.
