OUR STORY ::
WE are currently UNABLE to accept new pets due to being filled to capacity, WE WILL NOT become animal hoarders , taking on more than we can care for. Remember in addition to the pets you see listed online, we have personal pets that we have had for quite some time, as well as other animals of our own that take up much time, including horses, goats, chickens, ducks, cats, and guineafowl. We do all that we can financially and time wise, so the number of pets we can offer temporary homes and sanctuary IS limited.. until I win the lottery! HA!
We are a home and foster based shelter in Boone County West Virginia. We've been working to save the lives of a few homeless dogs and cats since July of 2004 ( check out our happy tails- we're proud of them!"
Boone County has an EPIDEMIC problem with homeless animals. Everywhere you look are homeless animals. It's very common here to find strays on the roadside left for coyotes to eat, the weather to kill, starvation, or maybe if they were lucky, some coal miner on his way to work to catch one for his kids ( I'm sure thats what the dumper hopes will happen), thats if they aren't so scared they run from him! Everyone I speak with knows of another place where animals are dumped. OR THEY have an animal they would like me to take. Unfortunately I have little space, and currently no foster homes.
Our county pound is a clean, well maintained shelter, but is not No Kill, and the kill rate in the ninety -ish percent area. Most are euthanized. Our pound doesn't even accept cats. Many dogs are euthanized at this dog pound.

Adoption Requirements
We are rescue friendly and will place animals in other reputable rescues. We will do adoptions to homes locally, an application must be filled out, home visit is required , references will be checked, adoption fees apply ( without them, we can't continue saving lives and paying for veterinary care ), ALL ANIMALS OF AGE ARE SPAYED / NEUTERED BEFORE ADOPTION, unless too young and then you are required to do so. We will maintain contact with you throughout your pets life!! If you have any other questions about our rescue email us!!
Can't keep your dog or cat anymore??
If you want to surrender a dog or cat to us, we have to tell you ahead of time that we probably don't have room here, WE NEED FOSTER HOMES, but go ahead and email us, and maybe we can find some help for your pet!! We apologize that we can't take everyone's pets in, but with the pet overpopulation problem in WV at epidemic proportions enough pets find us to keep us overfilled most of the time! We will make every attempt to help you out!
