Our Pet List
Cats Only ~ Dogs Only

Happy Tails - pets who have been adopted or rescued!!!

OUR FEATURED DOG IS ROSS

ROSS is a very nice boy. He's a Boxer mix, maybe with Lab. Ross came in with his pregnant mom Ruthie (who has since had 7 pups and needs a nice foster home!), and a brother, Red, who has been adopted. Ross is an easygoing and calm boy who is about 1 yr. old and 50 pounds. Come meet him today!

OUR FEATURED CAT IS VIOLET

Violet is a very sweet and loving short-haired dilute Tortoiseshell cat. She's a fairly petite girl. Violet gets along with other cats and dogs at the shelter.

We would love it if our featured pets could be fostered to get a break from living in a kennel. If you can't foster or adopt, maybe you'd be able to sponsor this pet? See cost below. Please call the shelter, 304-643-4721, if you are interested in sponsoring or fostering our featured Pet or any of our other great dogs, puppies, cats or kittens!

DISCOUNT SPAY/NEUTER RUN

Every other month, the shelter takes owned pets and sponsored shelter animals to a discount spay/neuter facility. If you have a pet that needs to be altered, or would like to sponsor a shelter animal, please contact the shelter at 304-643-4721. Please spay and neuter your barn cats and hunting dogs too!

The cost to have a cat altered, along with a rabies shot, is $22 for a male and $37 for a female. The cost to have a male dog neutered, along with rabies shot, is $42 ($52 if over 40 pounds). The cost to have a female dog spayed, along with rabies shot, is $47 ($52 if over 40 pounds).

NOTE: This run happens every one or two months - the next one is Wednesday, August 6.

RESCUE

We're rescue-friendly! ~ Rescues please call 304-643-4721.

PLEASE DONATE SUPPLIES AND FOOD:

The shelter always has need of cleaning supplies such as Clorox and paper towels. For the animals, we can use kitty litter, dry and canned cat/kitten food, dry and canned dog food, toys and treats for both dogs and cats, small to medium-sized dog collars (we have plenty of large ones), plastic pet carriers/crates, outside dog kennels, Frontline Plus for dogs and cats, Advantage for cats, bedding, towels, giftcards to WalMart, Pet Supplies Plus, and We Luv Pets would also be helpful. Gasoline Cards would be a tremendous help for us when we drive animals to the vet 40 miles away, and when we drive 4 hours to meet rescues. Please call if you have any questions about what the shelter can use.

If you would like to sponsor a dog or cat to get Frontline Plus (or Advantage-for cats only) you can order it at PetShed for delivery to the shelter. If you buy a 3-pack, you could actually sponsor 3 animals. Some of our dogs come in covered in ticks. Please click here to order and ship it to Ritchie County Humane Society, RR 1 BOX 3, Harrisville, WV 26362. This is a reputable Australian website and a prescription is not needed. You can enclose special handling instructions with your order to designate an animal, but please email or phone the shelter to let us know that you put in an order so that we know to expect it.

When you purchase a 22 lb. bag of PEDIGREEŽ Food for Dogs, PEDIGREEŽ will match your donation with another 22 lb. bag for our shelter. Each 22 lb bag is only $9.99! Please go to DONATE PEDIGREE DOG FOOD and click on the bag of dog food. Next, designate this shelter by typing in "Harrisville" and "WV" and then "Find a Shelter" near the bottom of the order page. You can then "Select from the List," where Ritchie Co. Humane will be the only shelter showing up. If you don't designate this shelter, Pedigree will go to the default shelter and the food will be delivered there and not to us.

PLEASE DONATE DOG BEDS:

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. The dogs love these beds and they don't have to lay on the hard cement. Even dogs that have never seen a bed in their lives take to these beds quickly. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.
