Our office hours are typically from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. If you are inquiring about adoption, reporting a lost or found dog, or for other general inquiries during the week, please call (304)-258-6363. For emergencies after hours and during the weekends, you will be directed to our dispatch center. An officer is available 24/7 for emergencies only.

๏ฟฝAdoptions: adoptions are made by app

ointment only. All adoptions must be pre-approved via an adoption application. If you are interested in submitting an application for a specific dog, please email [email protected]. If you are unable to fill out the adoption application via email, please call our office and we will schedule a time for you to fill out the application in person.

๏ฟฝOwner surrenders: when space permits we do accept owner surrenders. We are essentially a "no-kill" shelter, with less than a 3% euthanasia rate per year. A surrender fee of $75 is charged per owner surrender, especially in cases when the pet is unaltered and not vaccinated. Owner surrenders are by appointment only. Please contact our office if you wish to surrender your pet.

๏ฟฝCats: Unfortunately we do not generally pick up "stray" or feral cats. We make special accommodations for extremely ill or very injured stray cats when possible, and facilitate rescue pull or euthanasia if necessary. If you have a question about whether we can help with an ill or injured cat, contact our office. For healthy stray cats, or owner surrender cats, please contact a local cat rescue or the humane society.

Miss Mango is living the life in her new foster-to-adopt home!

Her new family is the BEST, and they quickly fell in love with this girl!

We're hoping for the best during her trial adoption! Fingers crossed this is her forever.๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Update: the vetrinarian determined that Rex was not a candidate for rehabilitation. After an extensive exam, and bloodwork, his prognosis was extremely poor. He was suffering from several chronic conditions that have been left untreated for a long time. Humane euthanasia wasn't only the kindest option, but the only option.

We have located the previous owner for this dog. This is an active cruelty neglect investigation, and we cannot disclose any further information.

Run free sweet boy.

๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

This dog was picked up on Mauzy Road.

It is emaciated, covered in parasites, and extremely lethargic. It does not appear as if it can walk.

We are en route to the emergency vet.

If you have any information on how this dog got to be in this condition, please reach out.

Exciting news!

Please share, and help if you can!

Haven (tan/white), Havana (black bully mix), and Juno (black "Labrador" mix) ALL still need placement.

They haven't had ANY interest. Adoption or otherwise. We don't get it. They are some pretty fantastic dogs!

Just take a second and look at them.

REALLY look! ๐Ÿ‘€

What do you see?

We see a few certified "Good Dogs". ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We KNOW there has to be an adopter or rescue interested in ONE of these sweet girls!

Don't let them waste their summer away looking at cinderblock walls all day!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปHaven (tan/white) is some sort of larger mix. Bully? Hound? Who knows. What we do know is: She's cute and SUPER friendly. That's enough for us. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ She loves attention, and has tested well with a variety of other dogs! We guess she's between 1-2 years old.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปHavana (black/white) is a medium to large pitty mix. We estimate her to be around 2-3 years old. She is a little more laid-back! She is content being independent, but also doesn't mind plenty of cuddles! She has tested well with a variety of dogs. She loves meeting new people!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปJuno (black/white) is medium to large "Labrador mix". She is around 3 years old. She has our whole heart. โค๏ธ Seriously. There is just something about the "under dog" that gets us every time. ๐Ÿฅน She has such a sweet and gentle personality. She was SO timid and shy when she first came in. It has been a privilege seeing her blossom! Juno LOVES other dogs. In fact, she really needs a home WITH another dog.

If you've been on the fence about getting a dog HERE IS YOUR SIGN! โœ…๏ธ

We don't beleive in coincidence. This was on your feed today for a reason!

Don't wait! Reach out today.

One of these girls is your NEW BEST FRIEND! ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿงก

Ever wanted to be a "crazy dog lady"? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well now is your chance!

Come get your "starter pack" (literally)!

We're mostly joking. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

We have a great group of dogs here that have done really well together! They are all very dog tolerant or straight up dog friendly!

We wouldn't mind placing a couple of them in the same homes (even though they're not "bonded").

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปHavana and Haven were turned in together. Although not "bonded" they do very well together!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปMiley and Juno were surrendered together. Again, not "bonded", but they do well together.

It is not a requirement they're placed in the same homes, but we would entertain it for these duos!

Either way, individually, these are some really great dogs. (And we're not sugar-coating anything!)

These girls really deserve loving homes where they can get all the care and attention they deserve.

All four have dog tested well! All of them are tolerant of (respectful) kids. (We don't expect any dog to tolerate disrespectful children. They're not toys.)

We're not sure how they do with cats, but we doubt there would be many issues after a slow introduction.

๐Ÿ“ฃ The best part? All our dogs are placed in foster-to-adopt homes!

If it doesn't work out during the foster period, we take them back! ๐Ÿ“ฃ

If you're interested in adopting a new furry family member, please reach out!

Juno is SUCH a sweet girl! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฉท

We'll be honest, she's a "dog's dog". Its taken her awhile to let us get "hands on" with her.

Despite that, she always wants to be with us. She's just not a cuddle bug (which is okay).

Usually she just trails close behind us, or "dances and prances" in our peripheral. She always greats us with a smile, and gets super excited to see us!

Lately, she's even been sneaking some kisses.

She is much more content in the company of other dogs! There hasn't been a dog introduced to Juno that she hasn't liked!

We've had her in the play yard with up to five other dog tolerant/dog friendly dogs and she's done great!

Someone come give this girl the home she deserves! ๐Ÿฉท
