🐾 Meet Havoc! 🐾

Havoc came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Through social media, we learned that this handsome guy turned 2 years old in January. He was rehomed in May due to his original owner moving and has been running around the Clarksburg area since June 11th.

Now that he has completed his stray hold, Havoc is officially available for adoption!

At 62 pounds, Havoc is a strong, goofy boy with a larger-than-life personality. He loves having fun and keeping life interesting, but we’ve learned through his adventures in the community that he is not a fan of cats. While he is an incredibly sweet dog, his enthusiasm and playful nature may make him a little too much for small animals and very young children. (Unless your toddlers enjoy being bumped around like a pinball machine! 😆)

We have been told that Havoc is both house-trained and crate-trained, giving him a great head start as he transitions into a new home.

Havoc has not yet been dog-tested while in our care, so any potential canine siblings will require a meet-and-greet before adoption.

After being bounced around and finding himself without a home, Havoc will need time, patience, and consistency to adjust. He deserves a family willing to show him that this time is different—that he’s safe, loved, and not going anywhere.

Havoc’s adoption fee is $125, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you laughing and always keep life exciting, Havoc might be your perfect match. ❤️

We think the line “He deserves a family willing to show him that this time is different” is especially powerful for a dog who’s already been rehomed and then found himself stray shortly afterward. 🐾❤️

**6/25: COOPER WAS REUNITED WITH HIS MOM AND WE COULDNT BE HAPPIER**

Meet Cooper! 🩵

Cooper is an unclaimed stray we believe to be a Boston Terrier mix. He’s approximately 2 years old, weighs around 23 lbs, and is a male.

This boy is a true little Houdini — HE WILL RUN AWAY if given the chance, so he will need a secure home and an adopter committed to structure, supervision, and patience while he adjusts and learns that stability is safe and consistent.

Cooper is active, alert, and would do best with a family or individual who can keep him engaged mentally and physically. He’s not a couch-only kind of guy — he needs someone who understands a busy, curious dog and is ready to help him thrive.

With the right environment, Cooper has the potential to really settle in and shine.

Adoption fee is $125. Includes his neuter, vaccines, dewormer, etc.

If you’re interested in giving Cooper a chance at a stable home, please reach out for more information or to meet him.

🐾💛 Community Cat Reminder! 💛🐾

With the recent influx of feline friends, this is your gentle reminder that help is out there for community cats! 🐱✨

Here in Harrison County, both Animal Control and the Humane Society of Harrison County offer TNR support programs when funding is available to help control community cat populations and ease shelter intake.

If you’re looking for affordable options nearby:
🐾 The Doddridge County Humane Society hosts community cat neuter days for just $65—and you don’t have to live in the county to participate!

🐾 SNIPWV also offers low-cost spay/neuter services specifically for feral and community cats.

🐾The Spay Station in Anmoore is SO close to opening so stay tuned for that!

Every single altered cat helps prevent future litters and reduces pressure on already full shelters. 🐱💞

You have resources—and they make a real difference!

Pawsitive Pathways Program!

Millie needs a new home, and we're stepping in to prevent animal control involvement, which lacks a guaranteed outcome for animals coming in to the shelter system.

Here’s what 🩷 Millie’s 🩷 current caretaker says about her:

Millie is a sweet, loving, and well-mannered dog. She does great in her crate, is fully potty trained, and is wonderful with kids. She also loves cats. Millie has a playful, energetic side and would thrive in a home with more space to run and stretch her legs. At the same time, she’s just as happy to curl up on the couch and relax with her people for hours. She’s affectionate, loyal, and truly a good girl who just needs the right home match. Spayed and up to date on her shots. She also makes a fantastic running partner! It's hard to get bored with Millie around. She is the sweetest girl you will ever meet.

*SHE IS NOT AT ANIMAL CONTROL*
If you’re interested in giving this girl a home please contact us at the shelter and we will put you in contact with her owner!

Just in time for the extended holiday weekend, we got our community bulletin board up and running!

The board will be updated daily (or as needed) and is designed to help reunite lost dogs with their families. Not everyone uses social media, so this gives community members another way to check if a missing dog may be here with us. Best of all, it’s accessible after hours for those who can’t stop by during normal business hours.

You’ll also find important information about our services, how to report animal-related concerns, our current cat intake management procedures, upcoming events, and other helpful resources.

We’re always looking for ways to better serve Harrison County, and we hope this board becomes a valuable resource for our community! 📌

‼️6/19/26: GERMAN SHEPHERD HAS BEEN LOCATED AND SECURED ‼️

⚠️ UPDATE ON THE GERMAN SHEPHERD ⚠️

Unfortunately, due to its scared nature and the severe weather, we believe the German Shepherd that was reported as dumped has become spooked and gone into hiding.

In the map below, you’ll see the areas where the dog has been observed, including the last known location where our officers saw him. Please be kind with your words—our officers never want to leave an animal to fend for itself. We do everything within our power to keep animals safe, and this situation is no exception.

We also want the public to know that this investigation is still active. We do have a lead on the individual who allegedly dumped this dog; however, we are awaiting law enforcement assistance to obtain and review camera footage from Rt. 19.

This is where we need your help.

Because we cannot be in the area 24/7, community eyes are invaluable. If you see this German Shepherd:

📸 Take a photo if possible.
📍 Pin or note the exact location.
📱 Text any sightings or information to 304-627-5349.

⚠️ Please do not chase

If the dog is spotted in Marion County, please report the sighting to Marion County Animal Control at 304-694-1200 so they can assist within their jurisdiction.

Please share this post so more people can be on the lookout.

We receive many calls each week regarding wildlife. Please note that we are not licensed to handle or remove wildlife species. Most wildlife-related concerns are best directed to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR), who can provide appropriate guidance and assistance.

In some situations, licensed pest control or wildlife specialists may also be able to help.

We do not respond to calls for removing animals such as groundhogs, skunks, or similar wildlife. In most cases, unless an animal is injured or sick, wildlife will move along on their own.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us direct these situations to the proper resources.
