Humane Society of Parkersburg

"Went up to adopt a cat. Was told you are not allowed to hold or pet them even after filling out an application. I then asked what if we get it home and it wants to bite and scratch everyone can we bring it back. She said only if they have room. Went to Marietta humane society and held all the cats we wanted to after filling out the application. Was even told to bring the grandchildren up to hold it. Go to Marietta to adopt an animal."

"This is a special place with caring staff. It was very clean, no smells. The dogs were in kennels. Our mission is to rescue older Beagles. Unfortunately, the beagle we came to rescue was not interested in us. It happens sometimes. I pray he finds his special person."

"It was a clean shelter when arriving and staff was friendly. My only complaint is, we adopted a kitten and was told he was fully wormed. Upon his first poo with us, he was full of tape worms. They did worm him, but they did not fully worm him from everything and only gave him a medication that only kills a small handful of parasites. This was disappointing as I do have a healthy cat at home and I am glad we quarantined him. I just can not understand how they cleaned the litter tray and did not notice white, moving worms in his poop. We have treated him at home and our vet will be handling his care properly. Just be cautious when adopted to make sure all the proper vet work was done, before putting a new pet in with your current."

"Clean facility, especially for being understaffed. All animals seemed taken care of and had all essentials. Staff was friendly and helpful. We don't deserve dogs or animals, so let's take good care of the ones we are blessed with. Broke our hearts to hear where and what conditions that so many of these innocent dogs and cats were rescued from. GO ADOPT!"

"We adopted our fur baby from here back in February! Great place! The staff was helpful, our fur babies foster Mom was wonderful & honest. Can’t picture life without our Maggie now. Please keep in mind the 3 days, 3 weeks & 3 months rule when adopting, it really is true! Don’t give up on them so quick."
