Breezy Bugs is another one of our Golden Girls. She channels her inner Dorothy character aka Bea Arthur and is ready with a wise crack when you walk by her kennel. If you dare not take her out, you better be ready to hear some jibber jabber from her. Just like Dorothy, she has had ups and downs in her life.
She came to HSWC emaciated, thought to be wandering on her own for a while. She now weighs 56 pounds and can still gain more to be her best self. It doesn't seem like she has had a good home but she is spunky and spirited and ready to make the best of any situation. She walks well, seems to mingle in social situations well. She likes things her way, and loves treats.
She needs to be in a loving and patient home. Ages10+ for homes with kids. With young people that know how to give a dog space and not interfere during meal time or snacks. Breezy has not had a steady flow of food in her life so she will always be anxious to gobble those yummy treats. New friends need to be aware that since coming to HSWC the staff and volunteers have been walking by her kennel and giving her treats through the gate. Be cautious with hands coming toward her face because she now expects those fingers to have treats in them.
She is well mannered And is looking for love in all the right places now!! Hopefully with a comfy dog bed and an all day buffet. She is a beautiful girl who has lots of life left to live and needs a companion to enjoy things with. She does not need a long walk. She is quick to get her potty done and circle on back inside to her comfy bunk. Ready to enjoy popcorn and a Golden Girls marathon and snuggle up to her forever person. Her heart is true, she's a pal and a confidant. Come and visit her and you will see she will tell you thank you for being a friend. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 56.4 Age: 9yrs 3mths 4wks

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.
