Brooke County Animal Shelter

Shelter is clean,animals are well taken care of, friendly staff.

My husband and I have never adopted from a shelter before and decided to give a dog a forever home. We stopped by and right from the start we met a beautiful furbaby that came right to us and I had a feeling he would be a perfect family additiion to our home and a friend to our furbaby that we already have. We even asked if we could bring our furbaby to meet him to see how she would react and were told yes they do that. No one told us we had to fill out any papers whatsoever so we were not told about the pre adoption. My husband and I came home and we were so excited we talked about him all night. The next day we called to plan a meet between our furbaby and the one we picked only to be told that someone came in after us and took our dog right out from under us because this person filled out pre adoption papers we were not told about. We were devastated and we still had them both meet, which went good. I have never been so hurt in my life. The people who run this place made the mistake and should have told the second people just that and fixed their mistake. Instead we are left heartbroken. If I had a child in my home and had to explain this do these people even understand what this would have done? For me to have to break a hopeful heart? This was an awful exoerience that I would never wish on another. I will never reccomend this place for adopting a pet and they should not be allowed to because their best interests are not for the pets or the family who has love to give.

This shelter and their staff are absolutely amazing! They made the adoption process seamless and were very open to advice and questions even weeks later. I really appreciate their help and cause!

We donate food to this shelter, they take care of the animals so well. They need all the help they can get to help the animals out. Please donate food, treats, money, anything to help the shelter out. The people here are really nice, and you can tell the animals are cared for and loved, and the shelter is so clean every time I come in to bring food. I live in Ohio, but with what the people do here for the animals, I dont think twice to donate here when I have extra. Wherever you live, if you can not donate to this shelter, please research your local shelters, and donate whatever you can.

Very Clean and excellent Staff..
