Brooke County Animal Shelter, Follansbee, WV Needs Your Help
This shelter is a COUNTY run Dog Pound. We are NOT A NO-KILL SHELTER as much as we would like to be, it just is not feasable. We do not accept animals out of our Brooke County district, so please do not dump them in the middle of the night thinking they will be fine. Anyone surrendering an animal must sign a release form with all information about the animal. This makes it easier for us to help find it a home. Due to the mass volume of animals we receive, we do not keep old animals. We have pups we can't find homes for let alone a 14 year old animal. If this is the case please be humane to your pet. He has been a loyal companion to you and he does not deserve to be thrown away where he will have to live in a cage 24-7 with lots of noise and stress. And please do not be foolish enough to think someone will adopt him right away. We also do not have a rehabilation program, so we will not keep any animals that are aggressive in any way.

Adopt a Friend
All of our dogs are posted on our website or if you have any questions about any of the dogs and cats please e-mail me at Bcas1979@yahoo.com

We need all the help we can get to save as many of our beloved animals as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated no matter how big or small.

Adopt a Friend
The first step to adopt is to fill out an application form (Word document). Please understand that you may be approved to adopt but you may not be able to adopt the dog you are asking about. We try to match the personality of the animal to the requirements of the home. If you are looking for an animal that is laid back and easy going and you pick one that we know is extremely active we will not adopt that particular animal to you but rather show you other animals that have the traits you are looking for. All of our dogs are posted on our website At this time we do not have a building so our animals are in foster homes. For more informtion about the pet please e-mail the address that is on the pet's page.
