Humane Society of Wicomico County
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Wicomico County is dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk animals while matching pets with their forever families. We provide premier temporary care and shelter, serving as a compassionate bridge between local animals and their new homes.
Why We Are Here
Our organization is a vital resource for the community, providing essential services like low-cost spay and neuter clinics, vaccination programs, and a food bank for those in need. We believe in transparency and working alongside our neighbors to address the real challenges faced by animals in our region.
How We Care
We operate a dynamic facility where shelter life is balanced by a robust, successful foster program. By placing hundreds of kittens and dozens of dogs into foster homes, we ensure our animals receive personalized socialization and training. Whether they are waiting in our shelter or with a loving foster family, every animal in our care receives professional medical support and dedicated attention.
Your Role in Their Journey
We are committed to thoughtful, responsible adoptions that create lifelong bonds between pets and people. By choosing to adopt, you become a hero for an animal who has been waiting for a second chance at happiness. Our team works hard to understand the personality of each pet to ensure they find the perfect match for your home and lifestyle.
