ANIMAL FRIENDS OF BARBOUR COUNTY is an organization of volunteers who are dedicated to saving the lives of surrendered, abused, neglected and stray companion animals in our rural West Virginia community.

As of July 1, 2019, our organization entered its 18th year of operation. While we're justifiably proud of the work we've accomplished, we remain focused on the reality of the tasks still at hand.

Each of our volunteers takes pride in knowing that, because of our efforts, and the efforts of our network of rescue groups, thousands of Barbour County companion animals have found homes with families that love and cherish them.

We are a nonprofit organization (501(3)(c) certified), that relies solely on generous donors, an ambitious fund raising agenda and grant money to finance our operation. If you would like to help us continue our work on behalf of the animals, please click on the "How You Can Help" link in the list on the left to get more information.

If you are looking for a "fur-ever" friend, or you are a member of a rescue group that would like to assist us in our efforts to place our shelter pets in safe, loving homes, please click on the, 'See Adoptable Dogs/Cats' links in the list on the left.\\\\\\\\\
