Adopting a friend
Our goal is to place pets in their forever homes. If you are interested in applying to adopt a pet, please contact us by email to obtain an adoption application and one can be emailed or faxed to you. Applications are reviewed and decisions are made within 24 hours. This gives the shelter staff time to check references and also gives the potential adopter time to consider the idea of having a new family member.
Adoption Costs include first shots, de-worming, and sometimes spay/neuter and rabies vaccinations:
Cats - $75
Dogs - $85

Promise Animal League, Inc was formed for the prevention of cruelty to animals and educational purposes by a group of individuals who have been helping animals in the local community for over 25 years. Located in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia we take in unwanted, abused and abandoned cats, kittens and sometime dogs and puppies; we place them into foster homes until they are adopted into a permanent home. Our group of dedicated volunteers provides a pet food bank for other shelter/rescue groups in the 4 state area. We work with local veterinarian practices to hold cat spay/neuter clinics for the low income public. We also assist the public with trap, neuter and release of feral cats

Greyhound Rescue, Inc. was founded in 1989 by John and Denise Davis. Our goal is to find high-quality, loving homes for ex-racing Greyhounds and to educate people about the excellent, loving pets these noble creatures make.
John and Denise founded the rescue program after they adopted Stacey, a white, brindle-patched, ticked female who raced into their hearts. Their interest in the rescue effort developed into the formation of their own rescue organization. Since its inception, Greyhound Rescue, Inc. has placed over 2,000 Greyhounds in homes throughout Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.

The Animal Welfare Society was formed to provide care and protection for suffering homeless and unwanted animals; to educate the public in respect to humane treatment of animals and to encourage and assist in the enforcement of laws against mistreatment of and cruelty to animals.
Among the projects undertaken by AWS was a spay/neuter and adoption program in cooperation with Friends of Animals, Inc. and local veterinarians; cooperative efforts with the county on a rabies prevention program; and a project designed to increase knowledge of county children in proper pet care. These programs, while having gone through a number of changes and enhancements, to this day continue to form the core mission of AWS.

Jefferson County Animal Shelter is a kill shelter located in the tip of the Eastern Panhandle of WV, near Harper's Ferry and Charles Town. The shelter had a very high kill rate until June of 2006, when they started working with a volunteer to move as many adoptable dogs as possible into rescue. From June 2006 through December 2006, more than 100 dogs were adopted or taken into rescue. This marked a 75% reduction in the shelter's euthanasia rate!

We adopt out to the nearby West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania regions. If you live outside this area, please contact Amber for more information.
Shelter volunteers and staff evaluate each animal through regular interaction at the shelter or in foster care. This interaction gives us a better understanding of the animal’s reaction to new situations and people thus allowing us to tell the potential adopter as much as possible about the animal. We can also advise the adopter if a specific animal will be suitable for the adopter’s family
