The Humane Society of Raleigh County, Inc. is a non-profit organization which has been serving people and pets since 1979. Its mission is to prevent animal abuse and neglect. By agreement with the Raleigh County Commission and the City of Beckley, the Humane Society enforces state and local laws pertaining to animals but is not a government agency. The animal shelter is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday excluding holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
1. Check out our adoptable pets here on our website or on Petfinder. You can also physically come into the shelter and look around. 2. If someone catches your eye, fill out an application! If you don’t see one that you like, you can submit a generic application and if approved, it is valid for 30 days. 3. Once you have applied, keep an eye on the email address that you listed! This is how you will know if you have been approved. We try to take care of applications as quickly as possible, but please allow a few business days. 4. If you have not been up to the shelter, you are welcome to come meet the animal while you wait on your application to be reviewed. 5. Once you are approved, you can come to the shelter, pay the adoption fee, fill out the adoption application, and take your new best friend home! Please note: all female animals must be spayed before being adopted, and puppies/kittens must be old enough for their first round of shots and spay.
