Description The Briggs Animal Adoption Center (BAAC) is named in honor and memory of James P. and Anna C. Briggs, husband and wife, who dedicated their lives to improving the plight of homeless animals in our nation. BAAC is the incarnation of Mr. and Mrs. Briggs’ guiding philosophy that “each and every animal has intrinsic value and deserves to be treated accordingly—with kindness, compassion and respect. Therefore, our stewardship includes sanctity for their individual lives, and we will not participate in the killing of one animal in order to ‘make room’ for another animal. Instead, we'll remain committed to each animal that comes into our care until an appropriate home can be found, as this is part of the humane solution to ending animal suffering

The employees are so friendly and knowledgeable. The animals are taken care of so amazingly. We had Amber as our adoption counselor. She was amazing. We just adopted a gorgeous7 month old chocolate lab. Her name is Buttercup. Buttercup is so smart. She's loved by everyone that's met her. I can't say enough about Briggs. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to adopt a furbaby.

I was a kid when I got my first ever dog. Her name was Skylar and she came from Briggs Animal Shelter. They take amazing care of their animals, and I have recommended it to coworkers and friends when it comes to finding their next fuzzy friend! Skylar has since passed, but I hope to adopt from Briggs again in the future. I wanted to also take this opportunity to show off some of my favorite photos of Sky and her little memorial plushie from Petsies

I have adopted 4 cats from Briggs, two 15 years ago, and two last month. The dogs and cats from Briggs are well- cared-for and socialized. The adoption counselors are very good at matching pets with their new homes. They take in to consideration the personality of the animals and the circumstances of the potential homes. The animals there have been spayed or neutered, and have received all of their vaccinations and any necessary veterinary care while they have been there. I highly recommend Briggs to anyone in search of dog or cat companions.

If you’re looking to adopt a pet, there is no better place to visit than Briggs Animal Shelter in West Virginia. The staff is passionately dedicated to the welfare of all their sheltered animals. This no-kill facility is immaculately clean and the animals have spacious enclosures, not cages, which are more like a well appointed room. You will be interviewed about your home environment and lifestyle to ensure that you and your new fur baby are a good match. You’ll have a chance to interact with the pet you choose in a large lounge area. Your pet will be spayed or neutered and will have all their initial shots. They have been well trained and you will receive a helpful packet with much information about feeding and care and a list of commands your dog has learned. Our Bella was the second dog we interacted with and it was love at first sight. We’re going on 7 years together and she is the center of our family. She gives and receives so much love! I am so happy we found Briggs and Bella!

I have adopted two dogs from Briggs! Both adoptions were wonderful and we loved the young lady who worked with us! Here is my issue. The first dog I adopted there was over TWO years ago. Some of the other dogs that were there two years ago ARE STILL THERE!! No animal should live in a kennel that long!! While maybe we'll intentioned, Briggs adoption policies are so extreme, these animals miss out on loving, forever homes. I feel like someone should be held accountable for the caged lives these animals have while they are determining who is "worthy".

Highly recommend Briggs! From the moment I walked in the door, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, all smiles and positive attitudes. I was interested in adopting a younger cat and was set up with counselor Amber whom was an absolute delight! She allowed me to interact with all the cats in their beautiful cattery. I fell in love with “Alfredo” and was soon moving forward with the adoption process. They have best practices and criteria for finding these babies the best home. After a week I was approved and able to bring home my new best friend ( Gnocchi). He found his human and I found the best fuzz ball all thanks to Briggs 💕
