Marion County Humane Society
Advocating for Every Animal
The Marion County Humane Society is a dedicated non-profit, 501(c)3 organization committed to providing quality care for over 5,000 animals annually. Our mission is to serve the residents and pets of beautiful Marion County, West Virginia, through compassionate animal welfare advocacy.
Our Commitment to Care
Located in the hills of West Virginia, our no-kill shelter serves as a safe haven for animals in need. We are proud to operate as a limited-admission facility that prioritizes the welfare of every resident, ensuring that every cat and dog receives the attention they deserve while awaiting their forever home.
A Network of Compassion
Our operations rely on a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who provide care, socialization, and medical support. By integrating shelter services with a foster network, we ensure our animals receive vital human interaction in comfortable environments. We are also proud to partner with local institutions and Petco Love Lost to support the health and successful reunion of animals in our community.
Finding Your New Best Friend
We believe that every adoption is the start of a joyful, lifelong partnership. Our team works hard to understand the needs of our animals so we can help you find the perfect companion for your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a loyal dog or a charming cat, we are here to guide you through the process of adding a new member to your family.
Join Our Mission
We invite you to experience the warmth of our shelter firsthand by visiting us in Fairmont during our daily open hours. You can also explore our available animals online or discover how you can get involved by volunteering or fostering. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals who need us most.
