**URGENT: ANIMAL SHELTER IS FULL**

The Shelter is completely full of dogs. We are unable to take any surrenders or strays at this point in time. Unfortunately, we will soon be faced with a decision on how to make room. This is a heartbreaking situation for shelter staff.

We are asking anyone interested in adopting to please come see us! Most of our dogs are already spayed/neutered and have their rabies vaccination. We have puppies all the way up to senior! There is no adoption fee! I REPEAT: NO ADOPTION FEE!

Some of these dogs have been here almost a year! We would love to see them in a good home rather than a kennel or left outside! Please come see them and find your forever friend!

Thank you. If you are unable to adopt at this time, please share!

After speaking to members of the public, the shelter would like to clarify that we are not the same organization as the Humane Society of Pocahontas County. While we do work with them, and appreciate their hard work, we are two separate entities.

With that in mind, if donations are made to the shelter, please ensure that checks are made out to the Pocahontas County Animal Shelter. And our donors may bring them to the shelter or mail them directly to 900 10th Ave, Marlinton WV 24954 so they can be deposited in our donation fund account.

We appreciate our community for their generosity and the interest in our shelter. The funds help with improvements, caring for our animals, and emergencies. Without you, we wouldn't thrive.

Thank you!
