JUST $10.00 A MONTH . . .
Yes, just $10.00 each month from folks like you can help us by reducing the
amount of time we have to spend on fund raising activities!
With our limited number of volunteers and the increasing burden of hands-on time needed to care for the animals, fund raising, while a necessary function, is tremendously time consuming.
We're looking for 500 FABULOUS FRIENDS who will help us with a $10.00 per month for 12 months donation. Donations made by check can be sent to PO Box 452, Philippi WV 26416 or if you'd prefer to enroll in an automatic monthly donation program via PAYPAL, you can begin your enrollment by clicking on the button below. You DO NOT need a PayPal account to use this feature.

ADOPTING
SHELTER PETS WITH TRUST ISSUES
Shelter pets that exhibit shyness on meeting new people are very often overlooked for adoption, but people who are willing to invest some time and patience with these pets are rewarded with a lifetime of love and loyalty.
Click here to read one woman's account of just such an adoption. Plus an update added on March 20, 2016.

FEATURE CAT . . .
Courage (one to two years old) had a pretty bad start to his life. He came to the shelter with some other cats that were rounded up because they were not being treated well. At that time he had some very bad facial injuries that required intensive treatment. Bless his heart, he allowed us to treat the injuries without so much as one complaint. You can see that he’s all healed up now and is a very handsome fellow. He’s a happy, healthy, affectionate boy but he’s VERY HIGH ENERGY---always ready to play! The thing is, he can get “over stimulated”, and then he will tend to play “rough”---nipping and biting, but never hard enough to break skin. We do recommend a home without young children and he wouldn’t be ideal for senior citizens, either, but we do know there’s no reason why he wouldn’t make a great family companion for folks who will take the time to learn about him. He more than DESERVES the chance to prove himself! Will YOU be the one to give him that chance?

FEATURE DOG . . .
Seven year old Buster has been patiently been waiting for his forever home for several years. This big fella is very kind to other dogs and loves the attention he receives from our volunteers. He does guard his food and would have to be fed separately from other dogs in the home. Buster is a big boy, weighing in at 80 pounds. He would love a home with a fenced yard where he could wander around smelling the grass and the flowers. Buster deserves a home after waiting patiently all these years.
Thank you Jamie Queen, owner of Wet Nose Photography in Buckhnnon WV, for getting these gorgeous photos of our adoptable pets!
