We are open 11 AM - 5 PM, Tuesday-Saturday. There is no appointment needed for adoptions. ADOPTION PROCESS:

1. Do you have any other animals in the home?
(265)

We post all available animals in the respective "Available Dogs" and "Available Cats" photo albums.

2. If you are interested in adopting an animal seen in one of those albums, stop by our facility during open hours. You may need to bring the children or pets that will be in the home so that their compatibility with the animal can be assessed and we can complete a meet and greet.

3. Our staff w

ill interview you to determine if you and that animal are a good fit for one another. Here at GHS, we aim to facilitate successful, lasting placements. As a result, you may be asked some or all the following questions:

Do you rent or own your home? Are there children in the home? Have you adopted an animal from a shelter before? What veterinarian do you use, and would you be willing to list them as a reference? Do you have a fenced yard? Do you have any prior experience with the breed you are seeking to adopt?

5. If our staff approves the match after the meet-and-greet, you will complete all requisite paperwork and pay the adoption fee. The adoption fee is $65 for cats and $85 for dogs. This fee covers a variety of procedures and treatments including:

Spay/Neuter procedure

Flea and tick treatment

Heartworm test

Rabies vaccine

FELV/FIV test

DHLPPC or FVRCP vaccines

6. You will take your animal to their new home! Many smiles are involved and sometimes even some happy tears!

Thank you everyone for your patience and working alongside us during such a challenging time. 2024 was the first time our facility has ever taken advantage of closing our doors to intakes due to having no kennel space. Although it has been challenging at times, it ensured that we were able to properly care for the animals in our facility. We are happy to announce we are finally in a place to be comfortable and open our doors for new-comers.

We do please ask that if you're planning on bringing an animal for intake, to give us a call to schedule your intake. This ensures that we have the space for the animal coming in. When we closed our doors, it was due to receiving 17 dogs in ONE day. This is why we kindly ask to schedule your appointment, to make sure we have adequate space for them! We are excited to help future residents of Greenbrier Humane Society and to continue to ❤

Reminding you that it is currently far too cold for pets to be left outside for extended periods of time.

Cold weather tips to remember-
🐾 Trips outside should be quick enough for a potty break and returning to the warmth. Keeping dogs on a leash will help discourage any unnecessary adventuring.
🐾 When they do go outside, consider putting a jacket, sweater with high collar, and/or booties on them to keep them warmer.
🐾 Always wipe the paws of your pets if exposed to areas with ice melts. It can cause blistering on paws and may contain chemicals that are dangerous if consumed.
🐾 Regularly check on any doggy doors or access your pet has for access to self regulate their outdoor time. These can quickly freeze up from the difference in temperatures from outside to inside.
🐾 Cats should be kept inside. If a cat is outdoors, it will seek warmth under the hood of a car. If you suspect a cat has had access to your garage or you park your vehicle outside, pound on the hood prior to starting your car.
🐾 If you provide shelter for outside stray cats, insulate the shelter with straw, not hay. Mylar blankets cut to size are also a great alternative. Avoid using conventional fabric blankets or towels, as they can absorb moisture and can make the interior cold.
🐾 This is also a good time to ensure chickens, goats, sheep etc have a proper amount of dry bedding to stay warm. While heat lamps do produce a good heat source, they are also with the most risk for fire in your coop. Alternatives such as hot water bottles and radiant flat panel heaters are a safer alternative for your friends.

🐾PUPDATE🐾 A snowy Sunday smile…Flynn was adopted in late October. The first picture is this sweet baby enjoying his first snow day! It is safe to say he is a wee bit spoiled. 😉🐾❤️

Today's Animal All-Star is Bobo! He is a Pointer Pitt and is about 2 years old. He was very timid when he came into our facility, but in his short time here, he has come out of his shell! He is very energetic and enjoys a game of fetch (he'll even play fetch on his own, tossing his toy and running to get it!) He is very affectionate and happy, and even has a case of tail whip from how much he wags his tail. If you think this sweet boy may be a good fit for your home, give us a call at 304-645-4775 or stop by to meet him anytime Tuesday-Saturday 11-5. 🐾

Brutus is putting in a days work 💪🏼 and so is Kendra! 🤩 Kendra works as a Behavioral Specialist at Greenbrier Humane Society and works her tail off to ensure each animal receives proper care as well as engagement, training, and working well in play groups. Thanks to Janice with The K-9 Academy, she is allowing Kendra to make use of her courses to train some pups who need a little extra attention. Brutus is responding beautifully and would make a great addition to any family willing to put in the work, and see great results! Thank you Janice, and thank you Kendra for everything you do! 🐾 #SaveThemAll Peep his good boy pictures below in the comments 🥲👇🏼

Here's a pupdate on Buster, one of our four legged friends who has been staying with Gaige at Desired K-9 - Dog Training : "Buster has been sharing a kennel with Lucy for a couple weeks now! He has a very sweet temperament, especially with female dogs. He will be getting exposed to 10-15 new dogs during the month of November!" Buster has also been spending a lot of time exploring, visiting Lowe's, Walmart, the Greenbrier River Trail, and even going to some soccer games! He has been doing great with his training, and will even be working on some Emotional Support Animal training over the next few weeks. We are so so grateful for Gaige's continued patience and dedication with Buster and are so proud of Buster for how far he has come! #SaveThemAll

We have an exciting update about Nova... 🤩🥰 Miss Nova has shown that she truly comes out of her shell when around other animals. When doing a meet and greet with Charlie yesterday, it was the first time we had seen her tail wag! Now she is relishing in rolling over (in a very goofy way) and barking at others when wanting to play. This sweet girl is still here with us and still looking for a foster OR foster-to-adopt home while waiting for her spay surgery. Once she is spayed, she is available to be adopted into her forever home! ❤️‍🩹 Today our #FiveDollarFriday is in honor of Nova, and all dogs just like her. Nova may not be the loudest pup in the park, but her gentle spirit has touched our hearts in ways we can’t express. With every donation, we aim to create a safe space where dogs like Nova can thrive and feel comfortable. Join us in celebrating Nova’s spirit and making a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable animals in our community! 🌟 Ways to donate: in-person donations at 151 Holliday Lane in Lewisburg, mail-in donations at P.O.

🚨 MENTAL HEALTH FOSTER CALL 🚨 We are sure you have all met Marley- our sweet, lovable 2-year-old retriever. Marley has the biggest heart and a love for humans that knows no bounds—he’s the kind of dog who greets you with a warm hug, forgetting just how big he is! 💖 But despite his affectionate nature, Marley is struggling in our facility, where the same three kennel walls have begun to dim his sparkle. He dreams of a home where he can be your one and only, soaking up all the love and attention he deserves. While enrichment toys and walks help, nothing can replace the comfort of a loving home. If you can open your heart and home to Marley, you’ll find a loyal companion who will fill your days with joy and gratitude. Not ready to foster? No problem! Join our Doggy Day Out program—take Marley for a fun day of walks, pup-cups, and car rides (his favorite!) and see the joy he brings. 🐾 Let’s give Marley the chance he deserves to thrive outside these walls! ❤️ #AdoptDontShop #FosterLove #MarleysMoment #SaveThemAll
