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.

Thanks to Rescue Me WV for dropping off these two pawsome bags of goodies for our dogs, and some extra treats for the kitties!

The critters (and us) are thankful! 💚❤️

This little fella is still looking for a home of his own!

He is around 12-13 weeks old.

His mom was a Chihuahua. His dad was a Dachshund mix. (STANDARD DACHSHUND SIZE, NOT MINIATURE.)

We would venture to bet that he has LOTS of other stuff mixed in.

Yes, he is "small". No, he is not "that" small.

He is around 8 pounds now. We don't have a magic ball, but we estimate he'll be around 20 pounds upon maturity.

Genetics are weird, and mixed breed dogs have no set standard. That's just the way it is.

Now, onto the important stuff:

The name is Warhammer ⚔️🛡🏹

👉🏻This guy is cute. Too cute.
👉🏻This guy is friendly. Tooth-rotting sweet.
👉🏻This guy is happy. Like sunshine and rainbows all the time happy. 🌈 🦄

Life is pretty hunky dory for him. Little dude acts like he has never had a "bad" day in his life. We'd like to keep it that way.

He's honestly the puppy equivalent of an anti-depressant.

If you'd like to meet this little ray of sunshine, please reach out!

This little guy is Warhammer! ⚒️🛡

Warhammer is a 13ish week old puppy. We were told he was a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix (with some other stuff thrown in, we're sure!)

We had PLENTY of inquiries for the scruffy little Chihuahua/Shi-Tzu mixes, but hardly any inquiries for Warhammer and his brother.

Warhammer is the last of the nine dogs from this group that is left to find a home for! His brother has a meet and greet with some wonderful prior adopters. All the other puppies, and the two small adult dogs, have all been placed into foster-to-adopt homes. ❤️

We don't get it! Honestly, we think these little ones are the CUTEST!

This fella in particular is the happiest and goofiest little guy. He is sure to bring a smile to your face!

If you're interested in this fella, please send an email for an application!

🚨Courtesy post! This dog is not in our care!🚨

Lady is a 7 year old beagle in search of a quieter home.

She currently lives in a home with two young children, and her family feels she would do best in a home with older children or no children.

She is a quiet girl!

She is currently on a diet to help lose some weight.

If you're interested in meeting her, we will get you in contact with her owner!

A Tail's Wag stepped in to help Cookie after he suffered an impaction and was left without treatment for days.

The Twelve Days of Murphy are on pause indefinitely!

This fella had a good meet and greet yesterday. We are hoping he goes home soon! ❤️

All our dogs are placed in foster-to-adopt homes. This ensures its a good fit, and gives us time to finalize any necessary vet care!

Send plenty of good thoughts that Murph's foster period goes well! We want this boy in his forever home by Christmas!🤞🏻

Its the Fourth Day of Murphy!

We are celebrating 12 days of this handsome fella, in the hopes that we can get him the heck out of here! We love him, but he deserves his forever home!

Murphy is begging someone to spring him from "Puppy Dog Jail".

We are putting him to work, and he's not too happy about it. (He's not really good at it, either, if we're being honest.)

Interested in this handsome guy?

Let us know!

Update: this guy has left the building! Thank you House of Misfits!

🚨🚨🚨 Urgent! Rescue needed by end of day tomorrow (12/5/2025) for sick kitten! 🚨🚨🚨

Our vetting funds are running low.

We do not have the resources to get this poor boy checked out. We also don't have appropriate quarantine space for cats!

He is around 12-14 weeks old. He has URI symptoms and likely needs one eye (maybe both) enuncleated.

We cannot (and will not) let him sit in a kennel without care.

If we cannot find a rescue commitment for him in an appropriate amount of time, we will have no other option to let him go peacefully so he does not continue to suffer.

This is a young, friendly cat, that obviously has the will to live. He has a good appetite!

He needs a commitment by tomorrow at 5pm!

If you're with a rescue that can help, please reach out immediately!
