Salisbury News had published an article referencing the Director resigning his position to take another job with the County. Unfortunately, they have not fill that position and from what we are told, things are not going well there.
It should be noted, the Humane Society is autonomous. In other words, they do NOT answer to the County Executive or the County Council. The only powers the Executive and Council have is to decrease their funding.
Because we have received so many calls, I created this Post for those people who choose to express their experiences anonymously.

What are the nature of the complaints?
The office people are rude for one.
They need a real director there for 1 someone from the outside pat guyer from city of Salisbury animal control wood be good for the place.
Get Kim monar out of there for 2
I know a officer who used to work there he said the place is a joke poorly ran know leader ship people doing whatever they want especially Kimberly monar what joke right there
There is no excuse for that 9:23. Sounds as if the BOD is lackadaisical. I sit in a chair on several boards and this falls to them. The BOD needs to stress to volunteers and employees alike that no matter how difficult someone may be, you do not get rude. Professionalism is a must at all times and in all situation. Bi- monthly meetings should be held which include the BOD, staff and volunteers to stress this and other issues that have arisen or may potentially arise. Some meetings can be informational, such as having a local groomer come in and explain proper grooming techniques for different breeds or a local veterinarian can do a presentation of some type. I have found over and over and without fail, that everyone wants to be on a board, but very few take the obligation serious.
I know people who don't wanted work there because of Kimberly monar or volunteer anymore because she is just so rude to everyone
i think kim does a great job and the rest of you are just jealous of her
She just sits in the office all day smoking cigarettes looking at Facebook and calling herself officer monar
They say that the way people treat others is indicative of how they treat animals, which given these statements, I fear for the critters. Were the SHS a no-kill shelter, I would want to be there in a second. However, due to their policies, I could never stomach it.
I know a former officer who use to work there he said they don't even answer the radio sometimes when they call out at jobs that's real safe for the officers
Just had a complaint this week with them as a matter of fact! It's not my first either!!
My first was with Ms Lugo when she told me nothing could be done
for an animal who I knew was chained with a 3 ft chain, with broken down shelter & standing in a yard of mud. It was told me as long as an
animal had
shelter, food & water there was nothing the Humane Society could
do!!!! Oh , my God I KNEW that couldn't be true & that's when I checked into Cty Dog Laws &
found the total untruth of what I'd been told.
I am ashamed to KNOW our
H.S. is run in the way it is & the "Board" and
yes, our County should be doubly ashamed to know
it too. There have been many, many issues brought
forth to the Public as to complaints there. Most of
the truths were published on Joe's Blogg. We thank
you so much for getting that truth out too Joe.!!
The only way to get a complaint
to the so called "Board" is to give it to the H.S.
Administrator. Now really, do you think that
will ever get to them?? And if you ask for their
number----the answer is----Sorry, we can't give that out.
Who checks where our taxpayers money goes?---- No
One is held Accountable out there!!! IT IS Time something
is done or else have the COUNTY STOP FUNDING THEM OVER
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR with our tax payers money !
I have never ever in
my entire life known of any organization run like this
is being run!!! It's totally uncalled for!
It's all "peaches & cream" IF you're bringing them supplies,
money or adopting BUT let there be a concern, or you have
a complaint or a legit question about something you have a concern about that doesn't " fit in Their Laws " ----then you will be bombarded with untruths they make up in order to make themselves right.
As one person stated when I left the H.S. yesterday----" I can't
stand that woman you were talking to , she is rude to people. "
She took the words right out of my mouth!
And so-----the H.S will continue to run the place as only they see
fit --with no one held accountable.
All the so called "Board
Members" should be made to have their phone numbers available to
the people of this County! The way it is now-----"It's sewed up
tight so complaints can't be made public.
Why would our County
even want to support a place like this?????? As it stands now,Cty
doesn't have to deal with any of the problems there --doesn't look
like the "Board Members" have to either, and Tax Payers Money helps keep the stray population down so our Cty areas won't be over run .
It's a pathetic & disgusting mess. As I said before, I am
ashamed of how the H.S.is ALLOWED to operate ----- No ONE IS
HELD ACCOUNTABLE !!!
I will never support
it again.
As a foster parent i picked up a kitten in Nov named Twizzler. Dealing with Kim Molar was torture. Five weeks later the kitten was diagnosed with fatal FIP. The kitten and I were inseparable; that was the most loving cat I have ever had . When I took it to the vet he said the kitten only had a few days to live, so I called the Humane Society and they did not want to take her back. Finally they did agree and then nightmare began. When I got to the Humane Society heartbroken and crying there sat Kim with a sour face and and no compassion. I was so upset with the pending death of the kit that I was beside myself; and Kim Molnsr argued with me about 20 minutes regarding whether they were going to take the cat back. The woman behind her with dark hair and glasses told Kim that I was allowed to bring the cat back. The poor kiitten was still in the carrier on the ledge while we tried to get this resolved. Kim said she didn't know what they would do with it, and was very very nasty about it. She said I'll just leave it here until we find out what to do. Now why would the county employ a person like that around innocent animals. The purpose of the Humane Society is to provide shelter for the animals until they find their forever home. The people who come want to give that forever home... Bad and rude attitudes simply should not be accepted. She should have a job in a closed area where she does not deal with the public, and I don't think she should deal with animals.

Whatever happend to officer hardy so professional and nice he really knew his job haven't seen him around lately
The guy with the ball hat that gets the info when we bring in cats to be fixed is rude too we got there at 910 and he said we needed to be there at 9 there were still two more people ahead of us son it is not like we were really late
Well said 11:03.
I pray we find the right person with the intelligence to run it correctly and smoothly and really try everything to find these wonderful pets forever homes like they deserve. I have purchased animals from there over the years and they have given me so much back for a home and love.
Fired because of Kimberly monar the young man they have now is next on the chopping block want be to long before he's gone Because of her
The County should make the BOARD Accountable to the Public.
Why can't the County make a rule that the Board has to follow
to the Public for complaints??????????????????????
Who appointed the Board anyway?????????????????
It is a "hush, hush business" there so that you can not get to
the bottom of any complaint you might have.
Does the County Council and Board think this is fair to the citizens
of this County??? If they do----they'd all better "step down" & let us vote in those who DO CARE!! Those who have concern for the animals welfare--- demand the place be run like a business should be & have employees who are RESPECTFUL to the PUBLI & portray a
business attitude .!
I DO NOT BELIEVE any amount of Classes for some of the employees
there would EVER MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THEY TREAT THE PUBLIC! Some seem to be beyond help !!!
So who is going to STEP UP TO THE PLATE & get this corrected?????
This H. S. should absolutely NOT BE ALLOWED to continue to function in the manner it has been for years now !!
The Public should demand this be done & I hope your Blogg Site
will continue to keep people informed of the situation.
Please remember " All it takes for Evil to flourish is
for one good man to do nothing!" Take a Stand for what is
Right!!! Let your leaders KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON & HOPEFULLY
THEY WILL DO SOMETHING. It will be interesting to see how
this all turns out.
Board of Directors----Let us hear from you!!!
12:11 PM
This is what happens when you have people working there that
are "right fighters" & enjoy "throwing authority around. Some
there are the crudest of the crude for certain, having No
Respect for anyone and--- the ones who are good won't speak up for
fear of losing their jobs!!
For certain AN OVERTHAUL OF THE ENTIRE RULES, REGULATIONS ,
EMPLOYEES AND THE BOARDS AVAILABILITY DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC , SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED FOR ANIMAL WELFARE & FOR THE PUBLIC WHO HELP SUPPORT THEM!!!
EW
sOOO WHO DO THESE PEOPLE ANSWER TO ?????
Linda was a good Director.
You must not know the "Real Linda" 2:48
At least David Fitzgerald is gone!
Eliminate Bonnie Gordy and Charlotte Littleton from the board .
They have been sopping at the trough to long like Prime Rib Norm.
As far as Fitzgerald, He jumps ship every time the heat gets turned up.
Please tell us how to get rid of Kim Stevenson Molnar.
She has the compassion and intellect of a 4th string circus clown.
@10:53 - How is Molnar calling herself an officer when she doesn't even go out?? If she is an officer, then she should be in the office all day. She should be out with the other officer. However, that may not be a good idea because she would more than likely be in contact with more people on the road than she would in the office and it's already bad enough that has contact with the public when she comes into the Humane Society
@8:19 - I like that. 4dtth string circus clown
The job that Blitzgerald has now was never advertised in the paper or on the county website.Looks like the good old boy network is still in place no matter if its a elephant or a donkey at the helm.
if she was the only officer there that place would really go down hill she would just ride around looking at all the dogs not stoping if there aggressive because she so scared after doing that for about 2 hours she'd go back to the office and talk bad about people
I don't know how the other people there put up with her am sure there are many people there that would like to see her fired
I know for a fact that every officer that's worked there has had a problem with her she will stab them in the back real quick hell all of them have had arguments with her I heard awhile back that young man they have now got into it with her he want back down from her. So you would think the broad would let her go but she still there.
They need to give the director job to pat guyer prefect man for the job he would make some changes there
The humane society is a non profit. They are under contract w/the county. They are a county vendor, they provide a service to the county. They shelter the animals when county animal control officers and Salisbury city officers pick them up. The county (and SBY city) pay them to do this. They are not accountable to them. The county can't hire/fire employees of the non profit. Only the board can. The public has no recourse unless the county opens it's own shelter such as Worcester county does or if another group forms creating competition for the county's contract.
You can go to Guidestar to see who the directors are. They each put in a whooping ONE HOUR a week doing shelter duties. If any one of them were a decent person their heads would be dragging the ground in shame. 52 HOURS A YEAR these useless nothing put into the shelter. Each and every single one of these useless lazy board members needs to get the hell out and let someone who takes the portions serious do the job.
sad state of affairs. Joe I am glad you posted this I have made numerous donations to them. I will think twice the only problem is I am an animal lover. Maybe it is time to replace the board with people who have common sense. This Monar person should be fired if she is that rude and incompetent. Obviously some oversight is much needed.
Thanks Joe
Look for an animal rescue group such as
A Pet For Life , run by Pat Long Outten,
or there's a lady out
on Quantico Road by the name of Sallywho
has a Copy Business , "Copiers of Faith",
that rescues animals.
Your funding
to them would be greatly appreciated &
you can be assured that your money is going
to where it should go & that the animals
up for adoption----will not go to anything
other then a GOOD HOME !!
I can never support the H.S. again, but
will definitely help the Rescue Groups!!!
Not only is officer monar in charge of animal control she is also the office manger how does that work if you have any complaints the have to go threw her those go in the trash
Do a case search on Kim Molnar. If I was a Humane Society Board Member this is who I would want running my office.
Sad state of affairs here. Is there someone to direct us too to resolve these problems?
They can be reached at h s w c board of directors po box 201 Pittsville md 21850
The WHS has been a disaster for at least the past 30 years that I've lived in Wicomico County. Rarely answer the phone, rude when they do, often refuse to come with some limp excuse, and it's ridiculous trying to find whoever they are accountable to and, if you do, you find out they don't care either. Disgraceful, disgusting and heartless. If we can't put people in there who really care about animals and actually do their job with professionalism and courtesy, we shouldn't even be permitted to have a humane society. There's nothing humane about WHS. Nothing.
The "BOARD' of the HSWC is a JOKE, especially the president. She is a rude, condescending, immature woman that likes to throw hissy fits when she and her groupies don't get their way and EXPECTS everyone to vote their way, even if your opinion differs from her. The ENTIRE board needs to be removed, and new board members that really care about animals, need to be appointed ASAP! They are a huge part of the problem at that humane society. Poor leadership and poor management on every level.
Sheriff department should take over animal control here in wicomico county real police doing the job at least they will have someone to answer there calls and do the job right
