FOSTERS NEEDED ASAP
Mr. Caramel
1 year! That’s 12 months! That’s 365 days! And that’s JUST TOO LONG!
March 2022 is when Mr. Caramel landed in Animal Control. And he has spent every bit of time since looking for a furever home. Here we are now in March 2023... still waiting.
We have tried to find a foster or foster to adopt so we could spring him from AC. We’ve taken him out for adoption events. to Tractor supply…to Petsmart.. to our HQ.
We truly just don’t understand why he still sits in a kennel at animal control.. waiting. We would love to pull him, but we cannot, if we do not have a home for him to go in.
So here we are once again… begging for someone to step up for this sweet, silly older man. 12 months is JUST way toooo long.
Dog friendly. People friendly. Likes to lounge. Laid back. Has burst of playful energy with zoomies. Sweet fella. He’s estimated to be about 6 -7 years old.
Whether you are interested in straight fostering or fostering with the intent to adopt when he is ready, the application is the same one. Our app can be found here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/RMWV/Dog
Please note: Mr. Caramel. Vetting and supplies are covered while under foster care.
Please help us help him.
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.

Shelter Dogs of the Week - Mr. Caramel and Coco
This handsome fella, Mr. Caramel is a 7 year old pittie mix who has been at Jefferson County Animal Control since March 2022, where he was picked up running at large in Shepherdstown, WV. If you are interested in finding out more about this loving soul, please reach out to Jefferson County Animal Control. He is not in our direct care.
Coco is at the Berkeley County Humane Society. He is 1.5 years old. He is a plot hound mix. He is great with other dogs but not inside of his home. He LOVES water. He does well with kids. He has extreme anxiety and needs a home where someone is home for the majority of the day. He does not do well crated. He knows basic commands listens well. Coco is very easy to walk on a leash. He plays rough but that is because he doesn't realize his size. He loves to play. He loves toys. He will play fetch until he's exhausted.
