Belmont County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At the Belmont County Animal Shelter, our mission is to save the lives of stray and abandoned animals, reunite lost pets with their families, and protect the health and safety of both our community and our furry residents.
Serving Our Community
Located in St. Clairsville, our facility serves as a vital resource for pets in need throughout Belmont County. We are dedicated to providing a safe, temporary haven for animals as they wait to find their permanent, loving homes.
How We Operate
Our shelter operates as a central facility where animals receive care, medical attention, and the enrichment they need to thrive. Our compassionate team works daily to ensure every animal in our care is treated with dignity, supported by our active volunteer network which plays an essential role in preparing these pets for their future families.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adoption is a joyful journey, and we are committed to making sure every placement is a successful match for both you and your new pet. To ensure the safety and happiness of all involved, we require that all existing pets in your home are spayed or neutered and current on their core vaccinations. We take the time to learn each animal's unique personality—like our featured pets who are waiting for that special someone—to ensure a lasting bond.
Join Our Mission
Whether you are looking to open your heart to a new companion or contribute as a volunteer, we invite you to be part of our success stories. Please visit us at our St. Clairsville facility or explore our website to view our current adoptable residents and learn more about how you can make a difference today.
