FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The Fayette County Humane Society has entered its final week operating the county animal shelter before control of the facility transfers to the Fayette County Commission on Saturday, October 18.
The organization, which ended its contract with the county last month, announced that staff are making a final push to find homes for remaining animals before leaving the shelter.
In a statement, the Humane Society said, “It’s hard to even type this… this is officially our last week at the shelter. In just 6 short days, the county will be taking over control of the facility.”
According to the group, ten animals were adopted on Saturday, but many more still need homes.
To encourage adoptions, the Humane Society is offering reduced fees through the week — $25 adoptions Tuesday through Thursday and free adoptions for dogs and cats on Friday, October 17.
“We’re begging, pleading, crying for these dogs to find their forever families before we leave,” the statement said. “They’ve waited long enough — and they deserve a lifetime of love, not uncertainty.”
The Fayette County Commission plans to assume full operation of the shelter beginning October 19.
