Ritchie County Humane Society

Our family has adopted from this facility twice now and both experiences have been WONDERFUL. We traveled all the way from Marietta because we heard such great things about this shelter. The staff is incredibly helpful and the adoption process was seamless. Our dog Sunny (formerly Sadie) has been with us for the past 5 years, and we adopted our cat Cosmo (formerly Carlos) yesterday! We can't thank the Ritchie County Humane Society enough for all the hard work they do, caring for the animals, and for helping us find the perfect additions to our family.

We drove 4.5 hrs here yesterday to adopt Dexter! He is perfect. Their facilities were clean and the adoption process was so smooth and easy. Everything they reported about Dexter is accurate (he is so friendly and is house trained, and ADORABLE). Dexter is our dream dog and we can't thank you enough for taking him in and caring for him until he found his forever home with us!

A clean, and wonderful facility with super friendly staff!! We will recommend RCHS to everyone looking to adopt a pet!!

Eight years ago, I saw a dog on Petfinder at Ritchie County that called to me. I lived four hours away and didn't know when I could get there to pick up the dog. They assured me that if I gave my word that I was coming for him, that nothing would happen to him. I'm happy to say he's still here with me.

I have worked with them 3 times already and every time I was met and helped with a welcoming face of people who love the animals. I have 2 cats from them and another one waiting for one of their neuter clinics that are beyond reasonably priced. I would recommend anyone looking to adopt a fur baby to travel here you won't be disappointed or if you can't adopt but love animals look into donating your time or supplies for the animals still waiting for a forever home
