We are excited to announce the addition of our new Prayer Request Board in the lobby!

Whether you’re seeking prayers for yourself, a family member, a friend, a beloved furry family member, or any situation that is weighing on your heart, we invite you to share your request. Requests may be signed or submitted anonymously—whatever makes you most comfortable.

We believe in the power of prayer, compassion, and supporting one another through life’s joys and challenges. If you would like us to keep you, your loved ones, or your pets in our thoughts and prayers, simply add a note to the board during your visit.

No request is too big or too small. We are honored to stand with our community in prayer.

❤️ For people. ❤️ For pets. ❤️ For anything on your heart.

🚨We see MULTIPLE Lyme positive dogs every single day. Early detection is key🚨

Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly called deer ticks. In dogs, Lyme disease may cause fever, lethargy, swollen joints, lameness, loss of appetite, and enlarged lymph nodes, although some infected dogs may not show signs for months. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney damage or neurological complications.
In people, symptoms often include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain, and sometimes a characteristic “bull’s-eye” skin rash. If left untreated, the disease can affect the joints, heart, and nervous system. Prevention is important for both dogs and humans and includes avoiding tick-infested areas when possible, performing routine tick checks, using veterinarian-recommended tick preventatives for pets, and promptly removing attached ticks. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are usually very effective.

BRAXTON CO

The Braxton Co. Animal Shelter has received 2026 grant funding through the West Virginia Spay and Neuter Program to spay/neuter cats for Braxton County residents. One voucher will be available per family. Applications must be completed at the Braxton Co. Animal Shelter during business hours. We will be giving out vouchers until we have used all of our funding. If all vouchers are used, we have the possibility to receive more funding in the future in hopes of being able to do more than one cat per family.
If you have any questions feel free to call us at 765-2200!
