Wetzel County Animal Shelter

Animal shelter in New Martinsville, WV

Our mission is short and sweet. We provide a safe humane atmosphere for the unwanted and homeless dogs of the community and work on a waiting list basis to help as many cats as we can without euthanizing for space and try to place them in loving "forever" homes. The Wetzel County Animal Shelter has been around for approx 30 yrs although it has gone through significant changes in the last few yrs. Our shelter has 10 cat cages and 3 Outside Kennels. But ALL our dogs are kept inside. We also have an isolation room for smaller animals. Please understand that we are the county shelter and operate as County Budget and State Code regulate. Unfortunately, this limits the number of animals we can take in and the amount of time they have at the shelter. Euthanasia is sometimes the result.
