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.

This little piglet needs help!

Little Man is an 8-10 year old Chihuahua that was previously adopted from our care several years ago. At that time he was only around six pounds at a full grown weight. He probably weighs double that currently.

Unfortunately his owner has been suffering some health complications for awhile and has ultimately passed away.

Little Man was returned to us so that we could get him help.

He desperately needs to lose some weight, and is in dire need of a dental.

Little Man is petrified in the shelter. He is very growl-y and a little snappy. We can't blame him. He's probably not feeling the best, and his whole world has been turned upside down.

This small senior guy deserves to be able to decompress in a patient and savvy home environment, not a kennel.

Little Man needs a rescue commitment. Dentals are expensive, probably hundreds of dollars (if not $$$$). Its a lot to expect an average adopter to have the resources to get him the care he needs.

He likely isn't healthy enough to undergo anesthesia at this time and will need to lose weight before he's healthy enough for dental surgery.

Little Man is neutered. It is unknown if he was current on vaccines, so far we haven't been able to track down the vet his owner used.

If you're a rescue interested in helping this little guy, please email [email protected] or call our office at 304-258-6363!

This precious little girl is Lilo!

Look at that face! 🥺

Lilo is a young dog, maybe a little less than a year old. She was found as a stray and never reclaimed.

She is a SUPER sweet and friendly little girl! She's around 35-40 pounds. She doesn't seem to mind other dogs.

This little cutie deserves the best home of her own!

If you're interested in little Lilo, please reach out to [email protected] or call our office at 304-258-6363!

Please share! This girl needs a home! 🥺

Gorgeous, friendly, and playful Delaney is still looking for her forever home!

This sweet girl is only around 7 months old! She has so much potential to be the PERFECT companion for your family. 💗

Delaney has done well with other dogs, and meets people with lots of enthusiasm and tail wags!

This sweet girl doesn't deserve to spend any more time in the shelter!

Let's get her out of the kennels and into a HOME! 🏡

If you're interested in meeting Delaney, please email [email protected] or call our office at 304-258-6363! 🐾💗

We are potentially in need of a medical foster for two smaller medium dogs that were seized for cruelty/neglect.

The dogs are currently hospitalized and receiving intensive care at the veterinarian.

If they pull through, we are hoping to find a trusted, medically-savvy home to help foster them for the duration of their hold. We need someone responsible and knowledgeable that we can trust to hold and care for the dogs.

These dogs are involved in an on-going animal cruelty and neglect investigation, so discretion is required.

We are hoping to find a foster that is well-versed with medically needy dogs, and will be able to adhere to a strict re-feeding schedule, medication schedule, provide fluids, etc. Veterinary staff that are willing to foster are encouraged to apply! Please do not apply to foster unless you are familiar with medically needy dogs.

Typically we do not entertain fosters for our cruelty case animals, and prefer to care for them directly. These dogs will benefit from receiving round-the-clock care that is not easily provided in a traditional shelter setting.

If you think you can help, please reach out to [email protected].

Update: Cleo and kittens have found placement!

The two adult male cats are still in need.

🚨📢Please share! Need placement ASAP! 🚨📢

We have these cats and kittens available that need rescue placement as soon as possible! These cats were all left abandoned without care and required intervention. Under WV State Code we were given the authority necessary to seize them.

We do not have the resources to care for cats long-term, especially several at one time.

Our resources and space is limited.

Most of the cats appear generally healthy. One of the kittens is being treated for an eye infection. All have been treated initially for parasites and given their initial FVRCP vaccine.

🐾Gus - approximately 1.5 years old, Buff, DSH, very friendly!

🐾Cleo and three kittens - 8 months and 6-7 weeks old, black, DLH and DSH, very friendly!

🐾Figaro - 8 months old, black and white tuxedo, DSH, very friendly!

🐾Kittens - 7 weeks old, Orange and Brown Tabby, DSH, very friendly!

If you're with a rescue that can help, please contact us at 304-258-6363!

It is urgent we find placement for these cats and kittens in a timely manner. We can entertain special adopters.

Adopters must fill out an application and be approved. Adopters are responsible for vetting the cats in accordance with WV State Law.

👉🏻The adult cats will need to be altered and made current on their rabies vaccine with 30 days.

👉🏻The kittens will need to be altered and made current on their rabies vaccines between 4-6 months of age.

Found Cat! 🚨🐾

This sweet kitty was found in the River Ridge subdivision in Great Cacapon.

The finder states the cat is very friendly, and keeps trying to get inside her home.

Unfortunately the kitty is becoming a bit of a nuisance and will not leave. The finder is unsure if it has been abandoned, or is just lost and can't find it's way home.

The finder is not in a position to offer the cat care.

If you recognize this cat, please email [email protected] or call our office at 304-258-6363 and we will put you in contact with the finder!

Alternatively if you know of someone that can help this cat, please reach out!
