Adopting
a Pet
By adopting a pet from the shelter, you are saving a life. Most dogs and
cats don't end up at the shelter through any fault of their own, but due
to their owners being irresponsible.
Many people don't spay or neuter their animals; the dog
or cat gets pregnant and gives birth, and the owner wants to get rid of
the unwanted litter, so they "dump" the animals. Many of these
excess animals are picked up on deserted back roads by Animal Control,
starved and injured, having been "dumped" there.
Other pets are surrendered by their owners because
they're just "too much trouble." People will get a cute little
puppy but as soon as it grows up, they're quick to get rid of it instead
of taking the time to train it.
In some sad cases, an elderly person has passed away and
left a beloved pet who then dearly misses his
owner.
There are many reasons an animal ends up at the
shelter...but shelter animals still make first-rate pets!

 Miles was adopted from the
Tucker County Animal Shelter
Please email Cathy if you are interested in
adopting a cat or dog. There is an adoption fee, which includes spaying
or neutering, vaccinations, worming, and a health checkup by the
veterinarian.
**West Virginia
state law requires that any animal adopted from an animal shelter must be
spayed or neutered prior to adoption. This will help to make sure that
the cycle of pet overpopulation doesn't continue!
