🚨 CODE RED: URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨

Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for help. Since our last Code Red announcement, we have taken in 30 more dogs, including several pregnant mommies who have since given birth. Our shelter is now overflowing with adorable, loving dogs desperately in need of forever homes.

We are drowning in the sheer number of animals needing care, and we find ourselves pleading and crying most days for someone to step forward and give these wonderful dogs the homes they deserve.

To address this crisis, we are holding a FREE ADOPTION EVENT starting tomorrow until November 16. All adoptions will be free of charge, but please note that an approved application is required.

We have not been this overcrowded since we first opened our doors, and we urgently need your help to find homes for these dogs.

Additionally, we ask for your patience as our page has grown rapidly. Sometimes, comments and messages get pushed down, and we may not always see them right away. The best way to reach us is by calling directly.

Please, if you have been considering adopting, now is the time. Help us give these dogs the loving homes they deserve.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
With gratitude, The Fayette County Humane Society Team

‼️🚨❤️🚨‼️

PUPDATE (11/1): Everyone survived the night 🥹 We are SO proud of these puppies.

Most still aren't what we'd call "stable," but the fact that even the ones who were really, really close to passing are now alert and able to stand on their own gives us so much hope! ❤️❤️

Thank you all. Your support is nothing short of incredible! We are so grateful!

ORIGINAL POST: In partnership with Putnam Animal Shelter, we are intaking 19 parvo positive dogs. They are very lethargic and not doing well. One passed away as they Putnam County Humane Officers were rushing them to KCHA 💔

These dogs are part of a cruelty case from Putnam County, but their shelter is not equipped to treat parvo at all, let alone 19. So we agreed to help 🥺

We are treating these puppies and once they recover they will return to Putnam County for adoption. We're praying they all survive.

This week alone, we have brought in 15 puppies positive for parvo from our community - and now have added 19. This strains our resources: our supplies, our staff time, and our spacing. Our parvo ward is entirely full, with animals doubled and tripled up. But this was a critical need to save lives, so we hope our community is understanding of our decision. ❤️‍🩹

We desperately need:
- Wet Puppy Food
- Purina Puppy Chow

If you have anything readily available that you can donate, we are actively using the last of our resources to save these puppies.

Wet Puppy Food & Purina Puppy Chow can be found on our Chewy wishlist (fast delivery), Green's Feed & Seed (shop local!), Sam's Club (has the best pricing), Walmart, Target, and probably some other places too. Our address is 1248 Greenbrier Street Charleston, WV 25311.

Thank you all for loving and caring about saving these animals as much as we do. Saving lives takes a village, and we're glad you're a part of ours ❤🐾

🚨 URGENT: Our Shelter is Over Capacity! 🚨

Dear Fayette County Community,
We are reaching out with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for help. Our shelter is currently over capacity, and every single one of our cages is full. We are now housing 88 dogs, but we are only built to accommodate 64 dogs. This means we are having to safely cage dogs in pet taxis, wired crates, bathrooms, and any extra space we can find.

Right now, we have 15 sponsored dogs, which means the adoption fees are waived for the first 15 adopters, as long as the dog is over 6 months of age. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring home a new furry family member at no cost!

When we are full, our animal control officer cannot perform his duties effectively, making it even harder to manage the situation. Our dedicated staff is working tirelessly to ensure every dog and cat is fed, clean, and given extra love at the end of the day. But we are exhausted, overwhelmed, and heartbroken by the sheer number of animals in need.

We are begging, pleading, and asking for your help. If you have been considering adopting a dog, now is the time. Please come meet our wonderful dogs and give them the loving homes they deserve. If you cannot adopt, please consider fostering, donating, or volunteering your time.

Your support can make a world of difference to these animals and to our team. We see no end in sight without your help.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

With gratitude, The Fayette County Humane Society Team

“They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them:

Do you know what a dog smells like?
A dog smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, pure and unconditional love. And despite everything they’ve been through, they don't smell of resentment.
So, I feel blessed that my house smells like dogs."
Patrick Swayze.
A man who loved animals deeply. 🐶🐱🐾
