These two belong at 5085 Hickory St. out in Laurel Park. Unfortunately, despite best efforts of officers, no one would come to the door. Tax office was called to obtain a phone number for the owner however, it is no longer in service. If you know the owners please tell them that they’re here as they were running at large.

Last call for the dogs listed below! They need to be adopted or have an approved application by Monday 11/25. Between our stray intake, all the adoptable dogs we have, and rescues/shelters all being completely overwhelmed we have no other options.

Please be mindful that we are a county run shelter and are open intake. We do not have the luxury of turning away an animal even if that means euthanasia (though we do have resources to help you keep them). It’s the worst part of the job.

With our neighbors, Humane Society of Harrison County - Wv, currently doing building maintenance they are unable to pull dogs to their facility. However, they still facilitate our adoptions, meaning you CAN adopt our dogs through their adoption program.

If you’re interested in adopting you can do so at hshcwv.org! We also transfer to 501(c)3 Nonprofit rescues/shelters.

These dogs could be euthanized at any time due to spacing issues. Please SHARE in hopes of finding them homes.

Our walls are full but your heart could be fuller! 🧡

Once again, all of our kennels are full. We just can’t catch a break for these poor dogs. 5 strays, 10 adoptables (2 of which have applications) and a mom and 10 newborn puppies that are going to rescue this weekend. 26… yes, 26 dogs here currently.

Please adopt. If you have questions reach out!

We would also like to add that we have a planned power outage today until noon and we cannot receive calls or do intakes, therefore we will be out patrolling.
We apologize for any inconvenience!

Just a reminder that in compliance to Harrison County Ordinance 2005-1, canines are not permitted to be at large!

We’ve been receiving numerous complaints about dogs in other peoples yards, on the roadways and attacking other peoples animals. This is a citable offense and we will be out writing tickets if your dog is at large. Dogs must be contained on the owners property (fence, tether, or kennel).

If your dog is at large at they are hit by a car or bite someone, the canine owner is liable for damages, state code 19-20-13.

Please keep your dog(s) contained!

We want to give a huge thank you to those of you that continue to support us, share our posts, encourage people to adopt and support our rescue partners! We are proud to say that this is not even ALL of the pups that were rescued or adopted in the photos below, these are just the ones that we have photos of after they left the shelter and are in their homes.

Please remember we have resources to help you!
We will always continue to be transparent about the struggles we face as an open intake facility. Please note that though we do put our pleas out when we are full, all of these dogs at any given time could be euthanized, not just when we put out a post. So please if you’re looking to add to your family or you’re willing to foster to save a life reach out. We have some great partnerships with other organizations that can assist.

Wishing the best luck to Maggie, Mo, Dozer, Chumlee, Spot, Margie, Zeke, CoCo, Whiskey, Roxy, Ziggy, Bob Marley, and Oscar. ❤️

Over the weekend, we had 5 dogs either get adopted or went to rescue which we are so so grateful for! Unfortunately, we had 3 dogs come off stray hold so they are now available for adoption. Please continue to share!

Finn and Flynn playing in their kennel gave us a big smile. These two boys (and their sister Brynn) are slowly starting to show us their goofy sides! We have many dogs still looking for homes including these boys and their triple sister ❤️

PUPDATE 11/13: the next TWO dog adoptions that are OVER 50 lbs are sponsored by Kayla Odell! Thank you Kayla for giving a couple of these dogs an easier out!

PUPDATE 11/12: Zeke, ADOPTED!
Ziggy has an application and meet and greet for 11/16!

PUPDATE 11/13: the next TWO dog adoptions that are OVER 50 lbs are sponsored by Kayla Odell! Thank you Kayla for giving a couple of these dogs an easier out!
Chumlee and Margie are going to rescue!
Roxy, Bob Marley, and King all have approved applications!

PUPDATE 11/15: King, CoCo, and Bob were adopted yesterday! Whiskey is leaving for rescue in the morning. We have not received any applications on any other dogs at this time. Please keep sending in applications!

We are still getting nowhere with adoptions/rescue pulls. By the time we have dogs get out of here, 4 more come and fill the kennels back up the same day. There are 12 dogs in immediate need of adoption; their information is listed on their photos below. Please consider adopting. We are running out of space and time for these great dogs. We have at LEAST two canines that we know of today that will be coming to occupy two more of our runs which will mean we will have no where else to put anything and that calls for euthanasia.

Please be mindful that we are a county run shelter and are open intake. We do not have the luxury of turning away an animal (though we do have resources to help you keep them) even if that means euthanasia. It’s the worst part of the job and we don’t wish this feeling on anyone.

There’s three ways YOU can help:
• Share the post
• Adopt
• Keep your pets
(10 of these dogs were brought by their owners)

Yesterday we took 13 dogs, 11 cats and some reptiles from deplorable conditions. The reptiles have been relocated from our facility to insure that they get what they need so they are not available. However we are back to having 24 dogs in our facility and MUST HAVE ADOPTIONS TO SPARE US FROM EUTHANASIA. Below are all of the current available dogs!

Edit 11/7: Mo, Whiskey and Mayzee is going to rescue! Chloe was adopted!
