They call me Bowmann the showman. I'm always in a good mood and ready to put on a good show for you. I was so close to landing my dream job of becoming a Delmar Police Officer when ...boom! Got lifted for a ride with Mr Animal Control man. That's ok I'll find another way to pursue public service. Maybe I can be the Animal Control man's assistant. Anyway, I'm pretty easy going, I'm bouncy to get out of my crib, but once in the great outdoors I feel free as an Oriole bird. I like dogs and cats. People are great. There is not much I don't like. Pineapple on pizza? Not sure, I'll be happy to try it. I'm game to try anything you like. I am happy when you are happy. I could even have the call sign HAPPY but I hear we already have one of those. So I will happily be called Bowmann (I hear he is some hotshot ball player. That's fine with me.) They say I am thin, a lean 54 pounds, but I feel fine. I mean, you won't see me turn down extra meals! But I'd rather have love and attention from you. Please come and visit me, maybe take me to your house and we can fight crime and eat pizza with any topping you like! 👍dogs 👍cats 👍people 👍Police officers 👍Animal Control Man 👍👍pizza🍕yum.

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.
