Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

I have a dog that needs a home. I do not want to take it to a county shelter. It a good dog and deserves a good home. If I could care for it I would, but that is impossible. Please contact me if someone needs a loving pet. Chuck 304-914-6299. I will send pics and history.
Our FCA group is looking to help out in our community and Hounds Haven was brought to our attention. How would we be able to help? You can email me at [email protected]
Dear Robin,
I know how very busy you are and all the constant demands, not to mention people like me "nagging" you, but I wondered if you had room for the kitten we spoke to you about last week? You said you thought the "cat lady" was going to have three openings by the weekend. This is the little kitty that was thrown from a car window. She is truly a sweetheart and cute as a button - even with her bald spot - but she is causing so much uproar with our other cats, that she really needs to find a hope of her own. I know you never asked, but we would gladly make a donation to cover her room & board. Thanks so much, Jack Koehrsen
Robin, my name is Pam Petrilla. I got my wonderful dog, Pretzel, from you and still have him at 14 years old. I'd like to volunteer a couple times a month at Hounds Haven. I'll walk dogs, bathe them, etc. Please call me at 740-827-1450. Thanks, Pam
Hello,
Can you help me?
My name is Rose Gifford and I live in Harrison County Ohio. We have no shelters for cats near us. And I am looking for a shelter who might be able to take several of my feral cats. Many years ago I started out with 2 cats, but as I live in the country people thought it was alright to drop their unwanted pets here. For year we tried our best to feed and shelter them and for the most part we did ok. But in 2014 my husband of 42 years passed away, leaving me the only income here. As I have several health issues including being in a wheel chair most days, it is very hard for me to deal with them all. I have 9 cats. 6 who are house broken and 3 who live outside.. The 3 outside will be hard to catch as they are still a little people shy. But the 6 who live in side in the winter should not be a problem. I have been trying for months to find homes for them all but so far no one wants any of them. As I am waiting to move to a senior apartment in down town Steubenville, I must find some place for my cats.
So please if you could help me find homes for them I would be most grateful.
you may contact me at this email address or call me at 740 946 8306. The machine will pick up just say who you are and why you are calling and someone will pick up or call you right back..
Thank you .....
Rose Gifford

Am looking for a small white poodle. Mine passed away after 14 years from cancer and am hoping to find another after the holidays. Please let me know when one comes available, I miss my baby but would love to give another a good home. I can give references from my groomer who took care of him for years and even the vets from the Pittsburgh Specialty and Emergency Center who can testify how hard we fought for his life. Thank you.

I have two puppies that r 3 months old now to give away. They are mixed breed. They will make medium size dogs. I have the mother and father, who will be going to the Harrison county pound tomorrow if someone would be interested in them as well. I didn't want them going there, but they have gotten out of my dog pen several times, and a neighbor has been complaining. The female has been spayed. The two would have to stay together, they are that attached. However, i want to get rid of puppies before that happens to them. I don't like or didn't want to have anything to do with the dog pound. My number is 740 546-3747. My name is sherry.
Lily is a 5 year old beagle mix, sweet and loving and in need of a new person/family. She loves kids and loves to play, lay in the warm sun, and snuggle up to you. Lily has been fixed, comes with toys, bed, food. Please call Debbie on 561-401-2528.
