Animals In Need Of Adoption

This very desperate situation in West Virginia has shown up in a number of groups thanks to some more dedicated Dogsters like Dakota! I know there are more Dogsters who have been passing this message around. Thanks to each one of you, even if I don’t list you here. I apologize for that but hopefully I’ll catch up with you on another posting!

WV court case requires emptying out shelter for hoarder’s dogs.

Please help us before then as they must cross the rainbow bridge on June 23rd or 24th if not rescued! They are so young we’re not ready for that yet!

If you can help any of us, please contact Laurel because she will see to it that we get to rescue! Here is her email address: hampshirecountyac@yahoo.com and here is the phone number you should call! (304)496-9379. We are all in the Hampshire County Animal Control located in Paw Paw, WV. They are rescue friendly so what are you waiting for? We are just waiting on you!

Follow this link to Petfinder to see dogs in need of adoption immediately!

This is located in the town of Paw Paw, West Virginia, a town with a population of 524 human beings.

Can you imagine having to kill all these darlings in a town called Paw Paw? This is close to Hagerstown, Maryland and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. If anyone has room to adopt or rescue one or more of the adoptable dogs on their Pet list, it would be such a blessing. It’s an easy drive to the D.C. area. There are many cats as well as dogs who need saving by June 23rd.
