Animal Shelters in West Virginia

West Virginia has 178 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 49 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Charleston has more than any other West Virginia city, followed by Fairmont and Martinsburg. Somewhere on this list is a West Virginia dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

West Virginia has 178 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

Charleston has more than anywhere else in West Virginia, followed by Fairmont, Martinsburg and Huntington. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

Berkeley, Kanawha and Jefferson counties have the most, though listings reach 49 of West Virginia's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
