Help Durbin WV no-kill Shelter
Feb 7, 2008

Focus:Animal Welfare
Action Request:Donation
Location:United States



The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men. Leonardo DaVinci (Quote provided by a kind-hearted soul.)




Durbin, West Virginia is a town in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The population was 265 at the 2005 census. Two other nearby towns are Hillsboro, a town with a population of 243 at the 2000 census, and Marlinton with a population of 1,204 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat.They are attempting a HUGE project of having an animal shelter for the area of Durbin, WV. There is currently no shelter to get the animals in out of the cold. I hate to think of their animals getting their surgeries and then having to heal outside in all kinds of weather. This is what is happening now. Although their goal is to make Pocahontas County a no kill community, their priority is working towards getting a shelter/building so the animals there can be housed indoors and also create more much needed space to save more animals from being euthanized.

So far, a very generous, former Pocahontas County resident and homeless animal advocate, has donated a 16'x20' building, similar to the one pictured here, to the homeless animals in Pocahontas county. Donated in memory of her two precious companion pooches, MacKenzie and Buffy. We can not ever thank her enough for all she has done to help the homeless, neglected and even abused animals there.


Here is what is needed in donations to help the animals get in and out of the elements and into a heated and air conditioned facility...
  • Funding for dozer work
  • Gravel for under the building
  • Crates of all sizes (Especially Lg and Ex large)
  • Electrical and plumbing supplies
  • Utility sink
  • DONATED!! THANK YOU!! Bath tub for animals so they can get baths and be indoors!
  • DONATED!! THANK YOU!! Dog dryer
  • Funding for additional supplies that we have not thought of yet! They currently have $150 of $2850. If you can contribute ANYTHING, click on the link below, which also takes you to their website so you can see the animals and the work they have been doing and a daily progress report on funding. So please, go to our petfinder page http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/WV119.html and make any donation for the shelter. Even $1 can help. It all adds up and in the long run, that one dollar, might just be the last one needed to save more lives! Please help! Thank you!
