Every Thursday morning at 7:10am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City introduces the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.

If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.

This week we met Vance the dog...

Here's some information on Vance from the Humane Society of Ocean City...

"Vance is a 2-3 year old lab/shepherd mix. He came from a shelter in North Jersey a few days ago after spending some time there.

He is looking for an active home that has a yard for him to run around in. He would do fine older teen kids in the home but he would like to be the only pet.

Adopting a pet as a new family member is a major commitment and responsibility. The Humane Society of Ocean City is there to help you and your family succeed every step of the way. We provide training assistance by one of our certified dog instructors and quality veterinarian services by our award winning clinic."
