🧼 Our animal shelter is in need of bleach and paper towel donations! We have now updated our wish list.
To keep our shelter clean and our pups healthy, we sanitize our kennels with bleach and use it quite often, so below we are sharing our Amazon wishlist if anyone would like to donate.

Thank you for your continued support of our shelter pals! ❤️🐾

Please share: Does anyone know this small male dog? He’s a sweet boy, 2 blue eyes and has been groomed! He has to have a family out there looking for him. He was found on White Pine Lane in Frametown.

We have one more week left of our discounted adoption rate! If you’ve been thinking about adding a fur baby to your family, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this opportunity! 🐾

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! 🇺🇸
In honor of America's 250th Birthday we are discounting our normally💲1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ adoption rate, down to just 💲5️⃣0️⃣ for the ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY. (This adoption rate includes: spay or neuter surgery, rabies vaccine, DAPPv vaccine, kennel cough vaccine, flea/tick preventative and deworming.)
Our shelter is currently 🚨at capacity🚨 and we would love to see our dogs get the summer they truly deserve with a family to love. Because we are a no-kill facility, and we are a small facility, we keep a never-ending waitlist for dogs to come in as kennel space becomes available. If you have considered adding a pawsome new pal to your family, this is the perfect time to stop by for a visit or call to set up a meet and greet with your current fur baby and a potential adoptee. (304)765-2200. Check out photos of our pups in the 'adoptable dogs' photo album.

We did it again! ❤️
Braxton County Animal Shelter received an award in the mail from the Best Friends Animal Society for saving 90% or more of the animals in our shelter for the year 2025.
Our live release rate in 2025 was at 93%.
Best Friends Animal Society is a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. According to the organization, "this award represents a culture of caring and compassion, a dedicated staff, innovative programming and extraordinary leadership."
This award is super important to our shelter and it’s staff because it represents the work put in on a daily basis.
We want to say THANK YOU to our community for adopting and advocating for our shelter pets, and our rescue partners - Awesome Paws Rescue, for always supporting, pulling, fostering and helping with transporting. We also appreciate each and every rescue who has offered to jump in and help along the way! 7 Hearts Maternity Rescue, Volunteers For Animals, 716 PAWS and anyone else who may have been a helping hand.
We encourage the public to help us continue to achieve this goal for years to come through adoption, rescue, fostering, donating, volunteering or sharing the wonderful animals we have up for adoption with others.
