We adopted our new family member from HSOV and we could not be happier. Beta has already become comfortable with us and seems to be a very happy girl. We met her a week before we were able to adopt (we currently live on the other side of the state) they held her for us and gave us a collar and a box of food to help us and her tummy with our switch to her new food. We love Beta and are happy we could be her forever family! 3 months in and Beta is the best addition to our family!!! Everyone she meets loves her and she is living her best life!

I was pleasantly greated by a nice woman at her desk by the enterence. I told her what I was there for, and she escorted me to the room to see all the available pets. Opening several cages and bringing out each pet for me to see and pet. Unfortunately I couldn't adopt that day, as I knew I may be moving to a new home, and didn't want to disrupt any animals by rehoming 2 times in a short period of time. I definitely will return.

The adoption process was simple. Caring about the animals is up to you. You know that the staff there really care about the work their doing. The facility is very clean, as well as the animals. Our Humane Society definitely has my support.

My children and I went to this shelter, looking to adopt a kitten. Upon going into the cat area, many of the cats sounded sick. Many were sneezing, eyes running, and nasal dripping. None that I saw were fixed, and I am not sure if they do so before you take them home. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see the state the cats were in, and I knew with the conditions of the cats, I could not safely adopt one to bring home to my healthy cat. FRV and upper respiratory infections, is what I would say most we’re experiencing and this is highly contagious in the cat world. Be careful when adopting from this shelter. Edit to reply to property comment: The reason for the sub-par review for Parkersburg, Wv shelter, (if you actually read it) they let me adopt a kitten full of tape worms. I brought him home and his first poo was full of them. We promptly treated him, and I can contest he is fully healthy now that he is in our care. Why would I leave a fully positive review for the Parkersburg shelter, when they cleaned this cats litter box for over a week, and did not once treat or let me know he had parasites I could bring home to my healthy cat? That comment on your part was unneeded as I had a reasonable, reason for my issue with that facility. So thank you for taking the time to dig my review up for the place I did decide to adopt.. how odd. As far as wandering in the "sick cat area" your employee, directed us into the cat adoption area we visited. This was not a sick area per your staff. I am commenting on what I have observed upon visiting your location and observing many sneezing, runny noses, and crusty eyes cats/kittens. That was my observation so take it as you will. For the volunteering part, I am not local so that can not happen, but I do help take care of my local stray cats in my neighborhood, to prevent illness, and over population. I am happy you reported many adopted, healthy kittens. That is wonderful and so is adoption. I am just reporting on what I observed. Thank you.

The staff was great! Animals are well taken care of. The communication between meet and greet and picking up Molly was outstanding. I now have my new family member and couldn't be happier. Thanks guys!
