Humane Society of Wicomico County

Humane Society of Wicomico County The Humane Society of Wicomico County is more than a shelter—we are a safe haven and a second chance for animals in need.
(325)

The Humane Society of Wicomico County is dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk animals, and matching pets with their furever families while providing premier temporary care and shelter for the animals in our community. Every day, our team works tirelessly to rescue at-risk pets, provide compassionate care, and connect them with loving furever families. Thanks to the generosity of our community,

we are able to offer not just food and shelter, but also medical treatment, enrichment, and the love every animal deserves while they wait for their new beginning. Each donation, no matter the size, helps transform lives—from a frightened stray finding comfort for the first time, to a long-overlooked senior dog finally heading to their furever home. We are also working toward building a new facility—one that will provide more space, modern resources, and the tools we need to save even more homeless pets in our community. Together, with your support, we are creating a brighter future for the animals of Wicomico County—one wag, one purr, and one adoption at a time. Amazon Wishlist: https://a.co/915wPHt

🐾 Waggin' Wednesday: Meet Alice & Nala! They are 3 year old, Chocolate Lab Mixes.

Alice and Nala are two very sweet sisters. While these girls would certainly love to find a home together, however they do not have to be adopted as a pair and can happily begin their next chapters in separate loving furever homes. Both girls are housebroken, affectionate, and ready to find their family.

🐶 Alice is great with children and does well with other dogs. If there is already a dog in the home, a Meet and Greet is required to make sure everyone gets along. Alice is not a fan of cats and is looking for a cat-free home. Like many Labs, she loves food and may occasionally try a little counter surfing, so her future family should be prepared to continue reinforcing good manners. Alice is a sweet, loving companion who enjoys attention, adventures, and plenty of belly rubs.

🐶 Nala is a loyal and loving girl who does well with older children and loves spending time with her people. When it comes to other animals, however, Nala is more selective. The only dog she gets along with is her sister, Alice. If adopted without Alice, Nala would do best as the only pet in the home, as she does not get along with other dogs or cats.

Whether they find a home together or separately, both Alice and Nala deserve families who will love them unconditionally and give them the happy ending they've been waiting for. If you're looking for a devoted, loving companion, one (or both!) of these beautiful girls may be the perfect addition to your family.

Please submit your applications today to adopt Alice and Nala! They are currently in a foster home. Once your application is approved, you will be contacted to schedule a Meet and Greet with them.

🚨 URGENT NEED ALERT 🚨

With 150 cats currently in our care, our shelter is currently running low on wet kitten food, wet adult cat food, and cat toys! 🐱

Every day, we care for cats and kittens of all ages, and these supplies are essential to keeping our feline residents healthy, happy, and well-fed while they wait for their furever homes.

Donations can be dropped off directly at the shelter, or you can shop from the comfort of home through our Amazon and Chewy Wishlists.

🐾 Senior Sunday: Meet Pound Cake! 🐶 A 10 year old, Female, Pit Bull Mix.

Pound Cake is a Certified Wiggle Loaf! If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a cinnamon roll, a weighted blanket, and a beautiful spirit were combined into one creature… that’s Pound Cake.

She is a professional happy wiggler, part‑time couch ornament, and full‑time bringer of joy.

Her hobbies include:

• Slow blinking at you until you pet her.
• Napping with the commitment of an Olympic athlete.
• Being everyone’s favorite without even trying.

She came to us as a stray, which is wild because this woman has main character energy. She has clearly had many puppies in her past life, and she is very ready to retire from her career as a baby‑making factory and move into her new role as CEO of Snuggles & Snacks.

Fun Facts:

• Lazy? Absolutely. She considers stairs “optional.”
• Easy? Like Sunday morning.
• Friendly? She would greet a brick wall with a tail wag.
• House‑trained? All signs point to yes.

Pound Cake is the kind of dog who makes you rethink your entire life because suddenly all you want to do is sit on the couch with her and watch TV furever. She’s sweet, she’s silly, she’s shaped like a loaf, and she radiates happiness like a space heater.

Don’t skip her because of her age or her looks — this girl is five‑stars and she deserves a furever home where she can spend her golden years being adored. 🩵🐾

Submit your application today to adopt Pound Cake! Once your application is approved, you will be contacted to schedule a Meet and Greet with her.

Today is Leslie’s last day with us, and while we are excited for her next chapter, we are incredibly sad to see her go!

Leslie’s journey with us began as a volunteer receptionist, and it didn’t take long for her dedication, helpful spirit, and upbeat personality to shine. She quickly became someone we could depend on, whether she was greeting visitors with a smile, answering calls, assisting with stray animal intakes, helping community members, or jumping in wherever she was needed.

More than anything, we will miss the laughter and energy she brought to the shelter every day.

Thank you, Leslie, for everything you have done for the animals, our organization, and our community. We are so grateful for the time we had with you and wish you nothing but success and happiness in your next adventure.

You’ll always be part of the HSWC family. 🩵🐾
