VOLUNTEERING

If you would like to help out with anything described below, please call the shelter at 304-643-4721, or
email us.

LOCAL FOSTER HOMES NEEDED: We would love it if our pets could be fostered to get a break from living in a kennel, as well as to make space for incoming animals. We are especially in need of foster homes for cats & kittens. Without a cat building, we have limited capacity. If you can only foster for the short-term, we usually have a few dogs or cats awaiting transport to rescue that only require a commitment for 1-2 weeks.


SPONSORSHIP: If you can't foster or adopt, maybe you'd like to help cover the costs for one of our pets to receive a vaccine, a spay/neuter, or flea/tick preventative.

AT THE SHELTER: We would love for someone to come over and walk the dogs to let them get exercise and interact with people. They love to get visitors! The cats and kittens would also love to have someone come to visit and play with them, or to hold and pet them.

Donate a Bed We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. The dogs love these beds and they don't have to lay on the hard cement. Even dogs that have never seen a bed in their lives take to these beds quickly. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.

DISCOUNT SPAY/NEUTER RUN



Every other month, the shelter takes owned pets and sponsored shelter animals to a discount spay/neuter facility. If you have a pet that needs to be altered, or would like to sponsor a shelter animal, please contact the shelter at 304-643-4721. Please spay and neuter your barn cats and hunting dogs too!

The cost to have a cat altered, along with a rabies shot, is $22 for a male and $37 for a female. The cost to have a male dog neutered, along with rabies shot, is $42 ($52 if over 40 pounds). The cost to have a female dog spayed, along with rabies shot, is $47 ($52 if over 40 pounds). This must be paid in cash, no credit cards.

NOTE: This run happens every one or two months - the next one will be 2011. Please call the shelter to reserve a slot.
