Earlier this week, the Greenbrier Humane Society announced that they are operating at full capacity with animals at the facility, and are therefore closed for intakes except in cases of sick or injured animals.
“While we want to be able to continue to help our amazing community, our first priority must be the animals that are currently in our care,” they state in a social media announcement. “We encourage you to call us to schedule a same-day intake appointment if you do find a sick or injured animal. We appreciate your patience as we maneuver this very challenging time in the animal welfare world. We will provide the public with an announcement when we are able to return back to our regular intake procedures. Thank you all for your patience, your kind words, and most certainly, YOUR SUPPORT!”
The Humane Society is open their regular hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for adoptions and foster placements only. Call 304-645-4775 for more details.
GHS has also shared the following information for those wanting to help:
- Adopt: Don’t forget that right now ALL adoptions are sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell for #EmptytheShelters.
- Foster: They will send you home with all necessary food, toys, treats, etc. If you’re interested in a slumber paw-ty, you’re more than welcome to take a resident for a night or foster for our length of two weeks OR more if necessary! (Foster fails are encouraged)
- Volunteering: Spending just a couple minutes outside or even on a Doggy Day Out makes these dogs feel so special and gets them out of their kennel!
- Donate: In honor of #FiveDollarFriday, if multiple people are able to donate just a couple dollars, imagine how far it could go! Mail-in checks are accepted, over-the-phone transactions, as well as PayPal and Venmo donations. Wish list supply items that are needed include bleach, laundry detergent, trash bags, dog/cat food, treats, toys, and clip-on leashes for adopters.
