My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

They call me Cassius.
I'm full of energy and friendliness.
My close friends call me Nutter Butter.
Think Mr. Peanut mixed with ButterBean from MMA.
I can't way to play ball with you or go for a walk.
I guess I could be compared to Muhammad Ali. (Cassius clay.)
With my strength and power. I float like a nutter butter -but I don't sting like a bee.
I'm not organized and I don't plot. I'm all sweetness and looks!

Here's more about me:
🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
💪 built like a brick house. 65 pounds of muscle.
Loyal.
Handsome.
Fun. I'm a frat boy in a fur suit.
Living large. But not at all in charge.

🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
I'm Neat in my kennel. I wait to do business in the great outdoors.

🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
I'm not for the faint of heart or the weak of biceps.
If your previous dog was a hamster, this probably isn't your moment.
You need to know how to handle a dog who can open the fridge,
help himself to your rotisserie chicken,
and then look at you like "where is the rest? "

🐈🐕❓Not sure how I'm going to do with other animals.
We will see how I settle in here at HSWC rec center.
I was too nervous to go in for cat testing.
Loud barking- I put on the brakes.
I need a little work in the confidence department but all my new friends are helping me learn skills, so I'm getting there!
I'm going to be everything you wanted in a hiking buddy, ball chaser, TV watching companion. I'm a good listener too.
I'm soft and sweet on the inside.

👟Put on those running shoes and come visit me quickly, I'm ready to show you around!

A "meet and greet" is required with all family members and the pet prior to finalizing the adoption application. If someone is adopting a dog and has another dog at home, we also require a "meet and greet" for the dogs as well. All animals in the home must be up to date on vaccinations prior to new pet going home. We do not adopt to people who will keep the pet outside exclusively. We may do a home visit either pre or post-adoption. Animals adopted from us are not be sold or given to another person.

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.
