About Our Shelter:

The Mingo County Commission is the county's governing fiscal agency and operates the facility. It is a relatively new facility (less than a year) as we had worked with a shelter in a neighboring county until Summer 2010.

Come Meet our Pets:

To be announced. We are currently developing an advisory committee and planning an adoption day. You can also check out our dogs on the Mingo County Commission Facebook page and at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118177094928528&index=1.

Our Adoption Process:

Our dogs must be held for eight days prior to adoption to allow potential owners to claim them. During the eight-day waiting period, those interested in adopting an animal can make application and will be notified once the dog is ready to be released to their custody.

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
