Mercer County Animal Shelter is in desperate need of hard and soft dog food and soft cat food. All donations are appreciated.
The shelter is bursting at the seams with dogs. We need foster homes. Here are some benefits of having dogs in a foster home:
Saving a dog’s life and helping local shelters.
Preparing a dog for their forever home and increasing their chances of getting adopted.
Seeing a dog’s true personality and watching them grow and blossom.
Learning a lot about yourself and the dogs from fostering.
Enjoying the joy and pleasure of helping a pet in need.
Connecting with your community and other foster parents.
Offering a temporary companion for your own pets.
Contact us about fostering.
Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.
These dogs are at Mercer County Animal Shelter, West Virginia
Our address is 961 Shelter Rd, Princeton, WV, 24740.Click here to see photos of Puppies looking for a home
We operate on a first come, first served basis to qualified adopters which means WE DO NOT HOLD ANIMALS so you cannot reserve a dog over the phone or via e-mail.Adoption fees: Dog adoption is $140. Fee includes spay/neuter and rabies vaccination.
Our dogs are available to residents anywhere including out of state because they are spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter.
Opening Hours:Tuesday-Saturday: 12pm-6pm. Closed Sunday, Monday and Holidays.
