Morgan County West Virginia Animal Control

Morgan County West Virginia Animal Control This page provides information on lost and found dogs, ordinances, and laws relating to Morgan County, WV. With limited staffing, we do not allow "walk-ins".

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.

�Adoptions: 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.

�Owner 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.

�Cats: 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.

Meet Ragnar! ⚔️🛡

This little fella was picked up as stray and never reclaimed.

He looks like an itty bitty Norwegian Elkhound! (Although we can't be sure!) He's a petite little fella!

This guy is small but stocky. He probably around 15-20 pounds!

Ragnar tested well with other friendly dogs here at our facility.

If you're interested in meeting this little cutie, please reach out!

📣Courtesy post! This dog is not in our care.📣

This handsome fella is looking for a new home!

He is a Great Dane/Labrador Retriever mix. He is currently not altered and will need to be fixed. He is current on his vaccinations.

He does well with most other dogs that tolerate his playful energy and size. He does well with children, and his current family said he would likely prefer a home with kids!

They said he would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard.

If you're interested in helping this big fella find a home, please email [email protected]! We will put you in contact with his family.

Sweet Aspen is back with us.

She briefly went into a foster to adopt home, but was returned today. The family decided it wasn't a good fit. They said she was great and not at fault! She did well with their older, respectful kids and seemed to settle into the home without issue.

Unfortunately it quickly became apparent to the family that a young puppy was not the best fit for their routine or schedule. And that's okay!

This is exactly why all of our dogs are placed in foster to adopt homes. We want to make sure our dogs are comfortable in their new home, and that our adopters are confident with the placement. We don't want our adopters to feel "stuck" with a dog that simply isn't a good fit.

We are grateful that her foster family recognized it wasn't a good fit earlier on, and opted to bring her back so we could find her the "perfect" home!

Aspen is a great puppy! They said she blossomed with the individual attention she deserves! Any family would be lucky to have her as a companion. 💙

Aspen is a 17ish week Labrador/Hound/Heeler mix (we're not sure how accurate her breed mix is). She has tested well with respectful children, and is beginning to warm up to dog-friendly dogs. Her foster family said she did great potty training while on a routine.

If you're a rescue or adopter interested in this sweet girl, please let us know!

🚨📣 PLEASE SHARE! 📣🚨

This poor fella is Duke.

We were made aware of Duke after we received reports of him running in the roadway limping. It was initially believed he was hit by a car.

We made contact with a family we assumed was his. They stated the dog did not belong to them, but was left behind in a small pen on the property. They stated there was another dog that did not make it.

Efforts made to locate the property's original owner have not been successful.

We don't need to know Duke's story to know he's had it rough.

He appears to have multiple old injuries. His rear foot is mangled, he's limping on his front leg, and we're sure there are other ailments we haven't discovered yet. He is scared of leashes and seems very intimidated by other dogs. We have had him a few short hours, but so far he has been reactive toward the other dogs in our care.

Despite everything, this guy has been super sweet toward our staff! Duke is a BIG boy! Seriously, he's huge. He is underweight, but is very tall. He's probably around 4 years old, and is unaltered. He appears to be a German Shepherd mix.

We have made him comfortable for tonight. He seems grateful to have some good food and a comfy spot to cozy up in.

Duke will need a rescue commitment or special adopter ASAP! We hope as he settles and feels more comfortable, he will become more tolerant of the other dogs. We will test him more thoroughly once he is able to decompress. Regardless, we do not think he is a good candidate for long-term kennel life.

👉🏻We have several dogs that have been in the kennels for weeks and weeks that need placement (including puppies!) We are begging the community to help step up for these dogs! We do not want to save these animals just so they end up being put to sleep in a shelter. As much as we hate to consider euthanasia as an option, we do not have endless space or resources. Please reach out if you can help! Share our posts and interact with our page to spread the word! 👈🏻

If you're interested in helping Duke, please reach out to us ASAP!

Sweet little baby River is still with us! 🥺

River is around 17 weeks old. We were told he was a Labrador/Heeler/Hound mix (although we are unsure how accurate that is).

River and his siblings came into the shelter a couple weeks ago. They were undersocialized and scared of everything 🥲

River's siblings have all found placement, and they're blossoming with the individual care and attention puppies need to thrive!

We hope its River's turn soon!

This boy is so sweet, and really deserves his own family.

Can you be River's forever?

If you're interested in this sweet little fella, please reach out!

Big Mack is still with us! 🥲

His last post gained a little traction, and we had a few adopters and rescues reach out to inquire about him.

So far he hasn't had any commitments and still sits in his kennel.

We did have someone reach out willing to help pay toward the cost of his cherry eye surgery (thanks Mark!) We are waiting to hear back from our vet in regards to an estimate of cost for the surgery.

Big Mack is such a happy, goofy, and affectionate boy! He appears to be neutered and we gave given him his initial vaccinations.

If you're a rescue (or special adopter) interested in helping Big Mack, please reach out to us! 🐾❤️
