🚨Urgent Need: Washing Machine for Our Rescue!🚨

🐈Caring for our furry friends 🐕‍🦺 means lots of messy paws, blankets, and bedding— and our washing machine just can't keep up! We’re in desperate need of a new or gently used washing machine to keep our rescue pups clean and comfortable.

🐾🐈 Did you know we offer low cost spay/neuter vouchers for low income Fayette County residents to help with the cost of spaying and neutering?

We also offer vouchers for feral kitties, too. If you are feeding and caring for a feral, or a feral colony, please reach out to us and we will mail you an application.

Some benefits of spaying and neutering are:

😺 No more unwanted litters

😸 Less roaming...

And more!!!!

If you have a pet cat you would like to use a low-cost voucher on, please fill out the link in the comments section below. ***This link is for pets only, not ferals***

If you have a feral colony you would like low cost vouchers for, please contact us via messenger and we will send an application to you. ***This application, sent via regular mail, is for ferals only, not pets***

💙🐶Meet Bert!🐶💙

This sweet boy is ready to find his forever family! Bert is a lovable pup with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s playful, affectionate, and always up for an adventure—or a cuddle session on the couch. He has some learning to do at only approximately 6-7 months old. But what a great addition he will make to your family 🤗

🐶🐱 The Ultimate Debate: Are You Team Cat or Team Dog? 🐾

It’s the age-old question—who makes the better pet, cats or dogs? Let’s break it down!

🐶 Team Dog:
✔️ Loyal, loving, and always excited to see you
✔️ Great for adventures, walks, and outdoor fun
✔️ Will protect you (or at least bark like they will!)
✔️ Unmatched tail-wagging enthusiasm

🐱 Team Cat:
✔️ Independent, low-maintenance, and full of sass
✔️ Purrs that can melt stress away
✔️ Masters of cozy naps in the weirdest places
✔️ Built-in entertainment with zoomies and acrobatics

Which team are you on? Or are you like us and think BOTH are purr-fectly pawsome? 🐾 Dr

Our Story

The New River Humane Society is a passionate group that is dedicated to serving the needs of community members and animals in Fayette County, WV and beyond. For the past four years, despite astronomical odds against them, this organization has maintained a no-kill status. An average of about 1800 animals enters the facility each year and huge efforts from staff, volunteers, and board members have allowed none of them to be euthanized due to lack of space. All work tirelessly to reunite owners with their pets, adopt animals to new loving homes, secure foster homes, and partner with reputable rescue organizations that aim to help find loving and safe new home for our animals.

Donations is the fuel that keeps us savings animals, so please help us continue what we are doing. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.
