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 appointment 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.

🚨📣 URGENT HELP NEEDED! 📣🚨

This cat is NOT in our care.

Unfortunately we cannot intake cats as owner surrenders. We also are not in a position to help the public vet their animals.

We offered to help network this girl in hopes her owner could get help for her.

The family stated they have taken her to the vet to seek treatment. Unfortunately the cat needs an amputation they cannot afford. They have spent all their resources getting her initial vet care.

If you're with a rescue that might be able to help with resources for this kitty, please reach out.

We will happily put you in contact with her owner.

Sweet Draco was found as a stray last week.

He was never reclaimed. Honestly, we didn't have much hope that he would be.

This young guy was found wandering a neighborhood. On his collar, was tape that held a note: "Draco, 7 months old".

We're not sure what circumstances his previous family faced. Nor do we know why they released him with a simple note taped to his collar.

We hope better circumstances find them soon.
We also hope if they find themselves in this position again they call someone for help.

We do know that Draco is a GOOD BOY!

We love this little guy already!

He is goofy, happy-go-lucky, and full of sunshine! (Sure, he barely has two brain cells to rub together, but that's part of his appeal!)

Draco has tested well with a couple other dogs. He did well for his bath. He also does okay on a leash and during car rides!

He has loved everyone he meets (and everyone loves him!) The finder stated he was okay with their children for the short time they had him.

He's a little exhuberant, but given his age that's expected!

If you're interested in giving this boy a FOREVER home, please reach out!

If you're not interested in adopting, do us a favor and hit some buttons!

Seeking Information:

“Draco” was picked up as a stray today near the intersection of Tabor RD and Martin LN.

Draco had a piece of tape located on his collar that displayed his name and age. We are unsure at this time if Draco simply ran away from his owners or if he was possibly dumped.

If you have any information about Draco or if you are his owner, please contact our office at 304-258-6363.

🎱🎱 Will Rubie find her forever home soon? Signs point to YES! 🎱🎱

📣 We are BEGGING for someone to give this beautiful girl a chance! 📣

Subaru (Rubie) has been with us since AUGUST. 🏖 ➡️ 🎃

That's nearly 3 months (and two seasons) that this baby has sat in a cinderblock box waiting on a family. 🥲

Her, and several of her older puppies, were found wandering in the area of Johnson's Mill Road.

Rubie set up camp under a bright red Subaru! (And she didn't make securing her easy 😅)

Since then, Rubie has quickly worked her way into our hearts. She has become a favorite. (We know, we say that a lot. But we've had a LOT of great dogs lately!)

Everyone that meets Rubie LOVES her!

Rubie is a very personable, generally well behaved, younger dog with LOTS of potential. She is lower to medium energy (with short bursts of exuberance.)

She is so sweet and always excited to see us!

Rubie was briefly placed in a foster home where they stated she was well behaved, did well in a crate, and was obedient!

Reportedly she didn't do well with some of the kitties in the home and was ultimately returned. (We've since tested her with cats, and she had no issues here.)

She has been tested with several dogs. She is generally dog tolerant! Although, she doesn't appreciate bossy or domineering dogs. (We can't blame her!)

She is very food motivated! (She might have gained a few too many pounds since we've had her 😅)

Rubie is estimated to be around 2 years old. Initially we joked she was part Border Collie. One of her puppies' adopters did a DNA test, and it turns out he is 30% Border Collie! We're guessing Rubie is probably some sort of Border Collie/Bully mix!

Rubie was spayed almost two weeks ago. She is current on her initial vaccines. We have treated her for fleas and worms!

This girl is ready to bust out of doggy jail for good!

Please help us find Rubie's forever family. ❤️

Do us a favor and share, share, share!

If you're interested in this beautiful girl, please reach out!

Update on sweet Charley! 🥺

We spent several hours at the emergency vet with this boy on Monday night.

Based on exam findings, the vet determined it was likely some sort of issue involving the discs in his spine.

The doctor stated beagles are prone to diseases (such as IVDD) that affect the discs between the vertebrae.

He is overweight, and suffering from arthritis and other similar concerns due to his age.

He will need additional testing and imaging. The vet also recomended some follow-up care based on his general condition and age.

He was given pain meds at the vet's office. He was also sent back to the shelter with some additonal meds to help keep him comfortable.

He was already feeling much better yesterday!

We are trying to keep Charley as comfortable as possible, but the kennels are not ideal.

We gave Charley an orthopedic bed. We are keeping him "quiet" to promote healing. We are doing everything we can to keep him pain free and prevent another episode.

Of course, we are also giving him as much love and care as possible. ❤️ But Charley needs (and deserves) to be in a home.

Charley quickly won us over. It didn't take long for us to fall in love with him!

He is such a sweet, spunky, happy-go-lucky boy. ❤️

Its impossible NOT to love him!

Charley is still looking for a rescue commitment. We might also be able to entertain a special adopter.

Here's his info!

👉🏻 11 years old.
👉🏻 Beagle/Labrador mix.
👉🏻 He is around 50 pounds (should probably be closer to 35/40 pounds.)
👉🏻 Male - currently unaltered
👉🏻 Loves ALL people. Dog tolerant. Cat tolerant.
👉🏻 Good on a leash.
👉🏻 Likes car rides.
👉🏻 Treated for fleas (Capstar, then Bravecto), and skin condition related to flea infestation. Still missing fur on his rear, but no longer itchy or raw!

Charley currently needs a home without many steps. Due to his current health concerns, the doctor advised against climbing/jumping for the next few weeks!

If you can help Charley, please reach out!
