Lil' Zoey has been brought to us to be a very special part of someone's life. Perhaps an early delivery from Santa himself! She is much too modest to tell us her story so her sissy has offered her voice... "My sissy is the sweetest little bon bon you ever did meet. I look out for her. We are a good team. Zoey has been through alot. I give her comfort and confidence. She is timid, reserved and moderately slow to trust ....but loving once she does. She is content being in the room with her hooman friends, she is warming up to affection. Slow is best for her comfort. She needs a quiet home. She's my best friend and I've asked Santa if he will find the perfect home for her. I hope I can go with her too. That would be so nice."
✅ The crate is her safe space. She will thrive in a new home that sets her up for success and gives her her own space to feel secure.
⚠️ She needs some work with potty training and building confidence to go outside.
⚠️Zoey was very scared when she first arrived and stressed. She would sound the "leave me alone alarm yelp" if anyone tried to pet her or pick her up. She seems to move cautiously and does not like being petted on her lower back. Her foster mom has this to say: "Seeing her warm up over the past few days has been so rewarding. She has started to give tail wags and gently put her front feet on us to greet us. "
Zoey will likely need a person who takes this slowly. not recommend kids based on her current behavior. She does not respond well to fast movements and usually runs away or tries to hide.
If you find it in your heart to give Zoey a peaceful quiet home (❌No wild parties for her, she's an introvert) please send you app in quickly.
✅She will thrive with one or two adults who will give her time and space to open up. Her comfort with hoomans can't be rushed. ⚠️Not a candidate for a household with kids. ✅Ok with animals her size that will not crowd her or expect a lot if interaction. ✅8 pounds. Low energy level. ✅Adorable front tooth that will melt your heart, soft diet preferred.
Zoey has done well in her foster home with Lacy May and other animals she has seen at a separated distance. Her foster parents have done an amazing job making sure she has not been overwhelmed. We recommend following the two week shut down protocol for a smooth transition into her new life. We are excited she will finally get the opportunity to live a great life being well taken care of.

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.
