Rescue Me WV... Working together, saving lives, one dog at a time!
We are a nonprofit volunteer group of people from the community whose favorite breed of dog is RESCUED.
FOSTERS NEEDED
Teddy
Teddy has been released from Jefferson County Animal Control and one of our volunteers, Kelsey, has been working with him quite a bit. Teddy has improved a lot and is becoming a normal, socialized dog. He still has some work to do and will go into training beginning in early June. Once he finishes that, Teddy will be available for fostering or fostering to adopt. See our blogs on Teddy for the latest in his development.
Our application is here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/RMWV/Dog
We will also need help with his vetting and the cost of his training. If you'd like to donate, please see our donations section below.
Fostering and Adopting
Foster to Adopt
The local humane society and animal controls around the eastern panhandle are full and need your help. Please visit the Berkeley County Humane Society, the Morgan County Humane Society and the Jefferson County Animal Control and adopt a dog.
You can also help by becoming a foster. Fostering isn’t a lifetime commitment. But it is a commitment to save a life. We simply can’t do it without you. Our rescue supplies everything while a dog is under foster care (supplies, food, all vetting, etc.). Fosters provide love, daily care, and a safe place to land while they continue on their journey to a forever home. We are looking for qualified dog lovers to join our foster to adopt program. We use a process of fostering leading to adoption. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please fill out a foster application and send it to info@rescuemewv.org. Fosters have the first right to adopt.
-Reference & home checks will be completed
-Back ground check will be completed
-After the above is completed and you are approved, watch our facebook page and website for a dog you would be interested in fostering and send us a message
-All supplies are taken care of by Rescue Me WV for the entire time you are fostering
-Dog will be available for adoption as soon as all vetting is completed and the dog is completely healed.

You can help us by buying items we need from our Amazon Wish List. We really need harnesses for the rescue dogs and new intakes. Especially Xsmall, Small, and Large sizes.
If you’d like to donate, please check out our supply wishlist. We removed everything else that had been on the it for now, and just have harnesses listed to fucus on them as that is currently the highest need.
If you'd like to donate common everyday items, stop by our office at 59 East Rd, Martinsburg, WV (Across from Big Lots in Martinsburg).
Tina
Our Tina is **still** waiting for her forever home. She's a young hound/lab mix (??) ... so happy and playful! Tina came to the shelter as a puppy ... a stray that we can't believe no one was missing or looking for. No puppy should have to grow up at the shelter. If you might be interested in adopting Tina and giving this puppy-girl a loving home, please contact Jefferson County Animal Control.
