How could you say no to a sweet face like Birdie’s? 🥹🐾🤎

Especially when those big brown eyes are asking for just one thing - a walking buddy!

Come make Birdie’s day - the group dog walk starts today at 10 am. 🐶

What’s better than finding a forever home? Finding one with your best friend. 🐶❤️🐶

Vera and Mirabel have become the sweetest pair of BFFs, and we can’t help but wonder if there’s a home out there with room in their heart - and on their couch - for two special girls. 🥹

Both can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but together they’re comfortable, happy and bring out the best in each other. Mirabel lets her playful, silly side shine, while Vera is the confident, independent half of this adorable friendship.

They’ve already found their best friend. Now, wouldn’t it be wonderful if they could find their forever home together? 🏡

If you’ve ever thought about adopting two, Mirabel and Vera would love to make a case for the buddy system! 💕

Want to meet these besties? We open tomorrow at noon and would love to see you then!

We are excited to announce that we are again issuing Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP) tax credits!

If you file a WV State tax return, and make a minimum donation of $500, you will receive a tax deduction voucher to use when you file your taxes. The tax credit is equal to half (50%) of the donation amount! So a $500 donation gets a $250 tax credit. A $1,000 donation gets a $500 tax credit, etc. Your donation will support low-income spay/neuter efforts in Randolph County and our Compassion in Action program, which provides emergency services to families who need it. Those services include straw during freezing temperatures, pet food and supplies, and many other things in order to keep pets and their families together.

Donations cannot be combined - they must be in lump sums of a minimum of $500. Your tax credit voucher will be sent to you by mail for use on your current year's taxes. Mail or bring your check to the shelter (PO Box 785, 195 Weese Street Extension in Elkins). Or donate online at bit.ly/rchsnip

Credits are limited, and when they're gone, they're gone. This program is a win-win for you and RCHS! If you would like to speak to a Board member, please let us know. Thank you and please share!!

Toys to play with and water to splash in? Ella is ALL IN! 🥎💦🐾

This playful pittie girl loves a good toy and is always ready for some fun - especially when water is involved! After playtime, don’t be surprised if she flops onto her back and waits for the belly rubs she knows she deserves. 😂 And when it’s time for a walk, Ella is a superstar on the leash!

Ella can be a little selective about her people and takes some time to warm up. But once she decides you’re *her person*, she loves you with her whole heart.

If your idea of a good day includes toys, splashing, walks and plenty of belly rubs, Ella just might be your girl! 🏡

Want to meet Ella? We're open today and tomorrow from 12 to 3 pm. Hope to see you soon!

How is this handsome boy still waiting for his forever home?! 🐶

Mikey has been patiently waiting for someone to look his way and say, “That’s my dog.” And judging by that smile, he’s more than ready for the day it finally happens!

Mikey is smart and friendly with good boy manners so he’s ready to hit the trail and explore all the sights and smells with his new best friend. But adventures aren’t his only speed - he’s just as happy settling in beside you for some quiet, cozy time. ❤️

Playful, affectionate and a great mix of let’s go! and let’s snuggle, Mikey is ready to be someone’s adventure buddy, couch companion and everything in between.

Mikey has been waiting long enough. Come meet him and make it his turn!
