SPECIAL CAT OF THE WEEK!
ACE

Ace is a sweet, male that is about 1 year old. As you can tell he wants to be pet, which is why is is laying there waiting for Sandy to pet him instead of taking a picture! He is in need of a sponsor for his vetting. Please help sponsor Ace!



The building has been such a blessing to so many of the animals in Pocahontas County. There were several animals that did not have to stay outside during the winter without heat and many were able to heal inside in warmth instead of out in below zero temps. Thanks to everyone who has helped sponsor the supplies for this building and a HUGE thank you to the lovely lady who donated the building! Bless you all!

Please understand that we exhaust all options to find loving forever homes or rescues to take our dogs and cats, however, we do have space limitations. Please note that some dogs have different requirements to be adopted to private individuals, such as fencing requirements, insurance policies that cover that specific breed, etc. ALL persons wanting to adopt must send in vet references, personal references and they MUST comply to a home visit. There is NO EXCEPTION to this. We do this to ensure the safety of our animals. We never want to see any of them end up back in a horrible situation. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Our goal is to make Pocahontas County as close to a no kill community as possible. We still have space constraints and must keep the animals going to rescues or approved forever homes. Without your help, space will play a part in making our minds up for us. We do not want this to happen to ANY of the animals that come into our care, so we are very rescue friendly and work hard to get all animals into reputable rescues or forever homes.

Some of our cats have been completely vetted and are in great need of forever homes or rescues. Some have been here since they were babies and it is not fair to them to not be able to have a forever home and one on one attention. Cats that have been sponsored are free to rescues, but if you can help with gas for transporting that would be great.

Please help our precious kitties!
Please find it in your heart to adopt or rescue at least one of our kitties.


We could really use sponsors for some of the furkids here. Sponsorship will only be allowed on certain dogs and ALL cats. If you can help sponsor, please email us to find out if the dog you are interested in helping is available to be sponsored. We are not trying to be cruel at all, but with such space limitations, some must be euthanized if space runs out. We make a great effort to try to find all dogs homes or rescues. It just doesn't work out how we want it to sometimes. Please, spay and neuter ALL PETS to help reduce the overpopulation crisis at hand.

The deaths of several millions a year just isn't worth your few extra bucks in the pocket. Stop breeding and spay and neuter!

Meet Sophie. She was used found in a trap believed to be used to bait in coyotes. She was found by 2 fishermen that found her still alive but hurt. She had to have her foot amputated after a long dose of antibiotics. Please keep your pets safe! This or worse could happen to them. Rescuers provided the doghouse, food bowl and water bucket for this little girl. She lived on a chain for 13 years. It is unimaginable living in one spot for that long and never seeing anything past the end of a chain for your entire life. One problem with chaining is that dogs will sometimes jump the fence or off a deck, hanging themselves. What a terrible way to die.

Donate a Bed
Our dogs could really use some nice beds to sleep on. Some still sleep outdoors, but many are in our new indoor facility and could really use nice comfy beds. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please click here

If you can offer help even one day a week that would be wonderful!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE DOG FOOD, CAT FOOD, LITTER, ETC., PLEASE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PICKUP. YOUR EFFORTS TO HELP OUR COUNTIES HOMELESS ANIMALS WILL NOT GO UNAPPRECIATED OR UNNOTICED!

YOU CAN ALSO HELP BY REMEMBERING THE IMPORTANCE OF SPAYING AND NEUTERING YOUR ANIMALS! THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO HELP US AND THE ANIMALS AND TO KEEP THEM SAFE! Not to mention, the benefits for you, your community, and your beloved pets. Please email us if you need more information on how to get help for spaying or neutering your animals.

Purchasing this book will help with our humane efforts!

Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 4H'ers are also welcome to participate. Please have your club leader contact Sandy Mallow for more information

VOLUNTEER PHOTOGRAPHERS NEEDED! If you can help photograph any of the animals to be placed on the pet finder site that would be wonderful! We can also use help just to hold them long enough to get great pictures of them. It is hard to make a dog stand still and take the picture all by yourself! If you can help, please contact us! Thank you!

Attention rescues and adopters

We appreciate ALL of your help here for the animals at Durbin, WV. We do have a pay pal account and you may use that for your adoption or pull fees. However, when paying for vetting fees, it would be best, if at all possible, if you could either call the vet directly and pay or can mail in a money order. Most of you know that Pay Pal is a great way to pay for things, but a percentage is taken out of the monies sent for the site, which in turn leaves Sandy paying out of pocket costs for the animals. If you are in need of any veterinary costs please ask us which way we would prefer for that specific animal and we will let you know. If you must pay by pay pal, that is also fine. Please remember, whether paying via pay pal or directly to the vet, to indicate which animal you are paying for. We must also start asking for a donation towards gas costs for the animals taken. The reason for this is because, the vet is an hour away~46 miles one way~ and transport meeting places are generally 2-3 hours one way for her and all gas is coming out of pocket as well. In order for her to keep this up, she must start getting help with traveling costs, because a lot of times, she has to go back to the vet the next day for pick up after speuters. Please keep this in mind when paying for an animal from this shelter. Thank you! If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us.

Adopting a friend

To adopt a companion animal from us you must fill out an application, send us vet references, comply to a home visit, and most of all be a friend to your new companion!

Please remember, when adopting a shelter companion, that it sometimes can take days to a few weeks for one to completely adjust to his/her new living environment. They do not always come to you fully ready for their new life. Many have been abused, neglected and are scared. They have placed into a situation that they did not ask for, but once they realize everything will be ok, they usually adjust quickly. Please give them time to adjust to their new surroundings before you give up on them like the previous owners did! Help quide them slowly to accept their new home by showing them a lot of attention and some serious love! (WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT DOGS KNOWN FOR OR SHOWING HUMAN AGGRESSION FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE AND THE ANIMALS INVOLVED.)
