WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!
ANIMAL FRIENDS OF BARBOUR COUNTY is an organization of volunteers who are dedicated to saving the lives of surrendered, abused, neglected and stray companion animals in our rural West Virginia community.
As of July 1, 2009, our organization entered its 9th year of operation. While we're justifiably proud of the work we've accomplished, we remain focused on the reality of the tasks still at hand.
Each of our volunteers takes pride in knowing that, because of our efforts, and the efforts of our network of rescue groups, more than 4,500 Barbour County companion animals have found homes with families that love and cherish them.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we plan to expand our network of rescue groups, continue our program of spaying/neutering shelter cats and dogs prior to their adoption, focus on working with state legislators regarding animal welfare
issues -- particularly in the area of providing low cost spay/neuter services for state residents, research new ways of obtaining the funding we so desperately need, and continue our community education programs.
We are a non-profit organization (501(3)(c) certified) that relies solely on generous donors, an ambitious fund raising agenda and grant money to finance our operation. If you would like to help us continue our work on behalf of the animals, please click on the "I'D LIKE TO HELP" link above to get more information.
If you are looking for a "fur-ever" friend, or you are a member of a rescue group that would like to assist us in our efforts to place our animals for adoption, be sure to visit our "ADOPTABLES" pages. Our website is updated frequently, so you are invited to browse often.
