UPDATE: These dogs are from West Virginia; they were contained, flea treated and re-released..
Since they entered our County, Animal Control will be picking them up, but the goal is to get them back to West Virginia. Please share this post with WV residents, pages and groups.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These two dogs are wandering around Stateline Road. If these are your dogs, please head to the 800 block of Stateline Road and pick them up.

The physical toll shelter life takes on an animal.

As you can see, Lainey is a walking skeleton. It isn’t due to neglect, and it certainly isn’t from lack of feeding.

Lainey’s body condition is due to her kennel stress. This old lady easily puts miles in every day just pacing.

She is too old and too sweet to be here. 🥹 We’re afraid one day she’s just going to keel over!

Once you get her away from the noise, away from the stimulation, she is a low-key, easy going, very affectionate girl who just wants ear scratches and treats, of course.

🐾 10 year old (best guess) Plott hound
🐶 dog friendly
🐱 no cats!
🏡 she thinks she’s a male dog and likes to mark 🤦🏼‍♀️
🧍‍♀️ never meets a stranger
💉 Rabies, Distemper and Lepto vaccinated!
🦷 most of her teeth are nubs
👃 has the hound nose, BUT it doesn’t deter her from also wanting lovins’ 🤣

Lainey’s adoption is SPONSORED!

If you’d like to meet her, please send us a message or give us a call at (540)921-2053. Let’s get Lainey out of the shelter! ❤️‍🩹

We’re very sad to report Ranger was hit by a car on Route 100.

Fortunately, we were able to find his owners and they will be able to bring him home and say their goodbyes.

A reminder: if you hit a dog or cat, as a courtesy PLEASE CALL IT IN to the sheriff’s office. Many people were looking for this dog and it’s a shame VDOT was who picked him up..

Et tu, Brutè?

Brutus was adopted from us as a wee lad 4 years ago. 🥹

After his owner was first diagnosed with cancer, and now a degenerative disease, she was absolutely crushed bring him back- but she knew he’ll be in good hands. 🫂 ❤️‍🩹

We believe he is:
- One third horse
- One third Lab
- One third Great Dane

(Of course sprinkle in some pit too, because 98.725% of shelter dogs have Pibble in them)

This boy was and is still very much loved by the person who surrendered him. We promised if he couldn’t stay with them, we’d find an equally loving home.

🐶 lived with other dogs (medium sized)
🐱 lived with cats
🧒 lived with children 6 years old and up
🐒 lived with a lemur 🤯
🛋️ 1 million percent a lap dog at a whopping 75-80 pounds
🧊 favorite treat is ice cubes
🧸 loves toys, loves to destroy toys 🤣
✂️ neutered

🛎️ A cool fact about Brutus is he was trained to alert his owners he needed to go out by hitting a bell that was on the door k**b!

Let’s find Brutus a home and give his former adopter some great news- and let’s send some good vibes their way too! 💞

If you’d like to meet this Brute of a baby, send us a message or give us a call at (540)921-2053. 🐶

👵 8-10 years young
✂️ Spayed
🐶 Good with other dogs
🐱 Terrified of cats
🧒 Lived with children 5 years and younger
🏡 Keeps a clean kennel

💖🍬Sweet Success Sunday🍬💖

Almost 3 months ago, Poppi and her siblings were seized by Animal Control.

Before she was affectionately known as Poppi, we were calling her Patchy. Due to a severe case of fleas and poor nutrition, this girl was partially bald. 😭

Yesterday, she immediately leaped into the arms and hearts of this young girl and her grandma.

Sometimes there are no words. 🥹

💕Adoption saves lives!💕
