Who We Are
Adopting a friend
Rescue Organizations
We are VERY Rescue friendly!
We urgently need the help of animal rescues; unfortunately, due to our limited funding, we ask that any veterinary care required before transport be paid by the rescue. (An exception is if an animal has been sponsored.)
Payments may be made to the Tucker County Animal Shelter, or directly to the veterinarian:
The Animal Care Center
c/o Tucker County Shelter Account
All Creatures Great and Small 801 N. Randolph Ave. Elkins, WV 26241 Credit card calls 304-637-2400
Donations
Cash Donations
All donations are tax-deductible!
The Animal Shelter is always in need of donations from the public, either cash or in the form of gift certificates. Donations go directly to help the shelter dogs and cats and cover veterinary expenses and shelter operations.
Animal Control and the Animal Shelter are funded through fines, dog licenses, adoption fees, and donations. Unlike private shelters that have limitations on the number of pets they accept, we accept all animals at the Tucker County Animal Shelter. None are turned away.
Donations of Items
We are in need of many supplies, so if you're not sure whether we could use an item you have--just ask! Email Cathy or call (304) 478-1025 to find out if your item could be used to help the shelter animals. Please also see our Wish List.
Always needed: Blankets and towels, food and water bowls, leashes and collars, cat litter, dog and cat beds, dog and cat toys, dog and cat crates, bleach and Lysol.
Urgently needed: Building supplies, kennel decks, fencing, and many other things to get our new shelter in operation!!
Sponsor a Shelter Animal!
Are you unable to adopt a dog or cat at this time but would still like to help? You can sponsor a shelter animal. We spay or neuter, vaccinate and worm all of the dogs and cats who come into the shelter. Many of the dogs and cats have additional medical needs due to neglect and the vet bills add up quickly.
The cost to sponsor a dog or cat is $100 and covers the costs to get the animal ready for adoption. This makes the animal much more appealing and allows us to take care of the animal's veterinary needs right away.
Call Cathy, Tucker County Animal Control Officer, if you have
* witnessed cruelty or neglect toward a dog or cat, or
* if you have lost or found a dog or cat.
Cathy will do her best to respond to your call in a timely manner.
