The past couple of weeks have been tough, but they’ve also been a beautiful reminder of just how incredible our community is. ❤️

Time and time again, you showed up for the animals. You answered our calls for food and supplies. You donated to our Yelp for Help fund when animals needed extra medical care. You shared our posts, offered words of encouragement, and stood beside us through difficult updates about intakes and illness.

You came out to see us at events all across the biggest county in WV - from Montrose to Beverly to Coalton. You bought raffle tickets and merchandise, dropped some money in our donation bucket, shared stories about your pets, and reminded us that we’re never doing this work alone.

Most importantly, many of you opened your hearts and homes to animals in need by fostering and adopting pets.

Those moments are what keep us going. Hearing stories that begin with, “When I saw her photo on the website, we knew we had to adopt her…” or “He fit right into our family from day one…” reminds us why every long day, every difficult decision, and every challenge is worth it.

Above all, we are grateful for the four-legged friends who inspire everything we do. They bring people together, create lifelong bonds, and fill homes with love, laughter, and companionship.

From all of us at RCHS, thank you. Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting the animals, and being the kind of community that always shows up when it matters most.

We couldn't do this without you. 🐶❤️🐱

PARVOVIRUS CLOSURE–JUNE 2026: At this time, the RCHS shelter is closed for all dog intake/admissions, adoptions, and foster placements until further notice.

Java came to us as a stray and appeared healthy but became ill suddenly and has tested positive for the Parvovirus.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious disease with an incubation period of up to two weeks. Dogs can appear healthy and may not test positive until they begin showing symptoms.
Symptoms include: lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea.

Java was housed within our shelter population before becoming symptomatic, so our team is implementing required disease control measures.

Thank you for your patience as we focus on and prioritize the health and safety of the dogs in our care.

She is receiving veterinary care and is already showing signs of improvement.
If you would like to contribute to Java's care please use this link: bit.ly/rchsyelp.

If you would like to donate bleach, trash bags, scrub brushes, blankets or dog enrichment toys you can leave on the bench at the shelter or ship to 195 Weese Street Extension, Elkins, WV 26241.
We have suggestions for enrichment toys in our Amazon and WalMart wish lists.

RCHS is also temporarily pausing on-site cat adoptions to give our staff more time to focus on disinfecting everything thoroughly.

Potential cat adopters can find us at these events:

Today - Friday 6/19
• Performance Chevrolet from 1-4.
Saturday 6/20
•The Wild & Wonderful Celtic Festival in Beverly from 10-2.
•The Coalton Days Festival in Coalton from 10-2.
