Where do donations go?
saving animals
West Virginia Animal Rescue is committed to helping the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter
Staffing
The shelter does not receive enough funding from government to sustain itself without WVAR's support. Even the Executive Director is funded by WVAR.
Animal Care
The shelter, as it was originally designed, never had animal care in mind. All behavioral, adoption, foster, and enrichment programs are funded by WVAR.
Medical Care
The shelter is only funded for basic care and any advanced or complicated care, even spay/neuter, is supported entirely by WVAR.
The Cook School
Celebrate the arrival of the surgical unit and the renovation of the former Cook School!
Right Now
WVAR provides urgent medical care as well as preventative spay/neuter procedures to hundreds of cats and dogs from HCWAS, reducing overcrowding in our shelter.
Coming Soon
We’re committed to sustainable change, so the Cook School clinic will bring equitable access to affordable veterinary care and spay/neuter surgeries to our animal-loving community.
Long-Term
Our clinic will directly impact more than 3,000 animals a year, improving access to care for low-income community members and increasing efficiency, affordability, and sustainability for our animal welfare partners.
WVAR’s status as a non-profit makes it possible for supporters like you to make tax-deductible donations.
