Humane society needs their dogs adopted, ASAP

SALISBURY, Md. – The Wicomico humane society is asking residents to consider adopting a dog.

When covid hit, they say they had a lot of people ready to adopt because they were spending more time at home. However, now with people changing housing, moving to places where dogs aren’t accepted, or people being unable to financially support them, they have more dogs than they can handle. Kim Nock, Executive Director at the Wicomico humane society says, “Even if you wanted to just take a dog for the weekend just to get them out of the shelter or maybe take the dog for a few weeks and figure out if that’s going to be your forever buddy.

The humane society says they don’t have the space to hold all the dogs especially with cat season right around the corner. Megan Koester, event and community relations coordinator at the humane society says “Right now this is a prime example of why we need to expand, we’re running out of space.” She also tells 47 ABC, they are asking for the community’s help in expanding the shelter to house more animals.

The humane society says their dogs are currently 25% off  and dogs who have been there for more than 40 days are 50% off for the next two weeks. They are also holding a few fundraisers to help support the society and gather more funding.
