Dogs for Adoption in Jefferson County, WV: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Carmella is a Pit Bull mix. She needs a home without other dogs, although she does well with kids and cats. Carmella does enjoy car rides and is leash and crate trained. She is a 'runner' if she gets the chance, so containment in a secure yard or on a leash is a must.

Carmella is spayed and vaccinated and ready for her new home!

Adoption fee... $175, cash or credit card. Mon.-Sat. 10-4

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS? Meet 13-year-old Carmello, the pit mix who apparently missed the memo that seniors are supposed to slow down! This handsome gentleman is 13 going on 3! He's playful, energetic, loves his toys, enjoys car rides, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. Basically, he's got his retirement plan all figured out... and it involves FUN! Carmello is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He LOVES attention and would be thrilled to have a family to spoil him with all the love he deserves! Cats? We're not quite sure how he feels about them, so slow, patient introductions are best.

Meet Noelle! Your future best friend is waiting! At 3 years old and around 75 pounds, Noelle is a whole lot of love wrapped up in one beautiful pittie package! Noelle can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so she may need a couple of visits to feel comfortable and let her personality shine. But once she opens up, you'll discover a sweet, loving girl who enjoys attention and absolutely LOVES her toys! Noelle came to us as a stray, so unfortunately, we don't have any history on her past. Here's what we do know: Spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Needs to be the only dog in the home.

I’m River! I’m a 2-year-old, 44-pound Coonhound/Redbone with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. If you believe in second chances and incredible glow-ups, my story is for you!When I first arrived, I was terrified of the world and really scared of people. It turns out my eyes were hurting me (a condition called entropion), but thanks to a successful corrective surgery, I can finally see comfortably—and I have completely blossomed! Now that I’m feeling good, I’ve discovered just how wonderful people are, and I love making new human and dog friends.I’m already house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. It took a little healing, but I'm fully ready to start my next chapter. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle hound to fill your home with love, I’d love to meet you!

This little girl was left at a short-staffed, over-crowded shelter and was on the euthanasia list. Because she was pregnant, staff made a hard push to get her out as they could not safely deliver her pups in the shelter. She is now in a foster home at AFH where she can deliver her pups in a warm, loving home. This sweet girl is friendly, loving and calm. She is OK with other dogs and a bit shy, but warms up quickly. Stay tuned for updates.

Could it be with you?

Meet Pumpkin, a sweet little girl who is ready for her happily ever after! Pumpkin came in painfully skinny, but once she came into rescue she's been putting on weight nicely and is blossoming into a happy, healthy pup. This adorable Lab mix is the last of her litter still waiting for a family to call her own, and we are determined to help her find the wonderful forever home she deserves! Don't let her humble beginnings fool you—Pumpkin is full of puppy personality! She's frisky, playful, and always ready for a little fun.

Hey there, I’m Curly! I’m a handsome 1-year-old brindle Great Dane weighing right around 80 pounds. Back in early October, a hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were very thin and dehydrated. Thankfully, we’ve been on a good feeding schedule ever since and have already put on 10 to 15 pounds! Everyone here says I am a total sweetheart. I'm super gentle with people, take treats nicely from your hand, and walk really well on a leash! I’m currently working on my housetraining, and since I love snacks so much, I'm a big fan of training time. I also get along great with other dogs! Even though I'm a big boy who likes to get vocal and chatty while playing, I'm actually very gentle with my dog friends.

My name is Larry, and I’m a 1-year-old tan Great Dane weighing around 75 pounds! Earlier this month, a kind hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were severely underweight and dehydrated. Since then, we’ve been on a steady feeding schedule and have already gained a healthy 10 to 15 pounds! Even after a rough start, I am the sweetest, most gentle big guy. I walk nicely on a leash, take treats very softly from your hand, and love playing with other dogs! I can get pretty vocal when I play, and I also like to do some goofy mouth play, though I’m always gentle and never put any pressure down.

Bowie was surrendered to Mutt Love through no fault of her own. She is doing well in play group and is sweet. We will update her bio as we get to know her.

Hi, I’m Stassi! Within ten minutes of walking into my foster home, I was already curled up snuggling—my foster mom says I’m by far the cuddliest dog she’s ever met! I’m a 3-year-old black and white Lab/Terrier mix, and at 35 pounds, I’m a great compact size for squeezing onto the couch right next to you.Back at the shelter, the staff always called me "the perfect dog" because I’m so easygoing. I love people, do great with kids, walk nicely on a leash, and I'm already housetrained. I’ve even gone out to busy adoption events and did great in public! I originally came into the shelter with another dog and really enjoy having dog friends around.

Hi, I’m Demi! I’m a 3-year-old, 70-pound German Shepherd mix who just loves being right in the middle of things. I’m super friendly, great with kids, and an easy passenger in the car. I’ve even gone out to busy adoption events and did great with all the new people and activity! I am very food-motivated, so if you have treats in your hand, you have my full attention. That makes teaching me new things pretty easy! As far as other pets go, I’m not a fan of cats, and I don't like dogs that play super rough or get in my face. I’d be happiest in a cat-free home where I can be your one-and-only, or live alongside a calm, polite dog who respects my space. I’m spayed, microchipped, and fully caught up on my vaccines.If you’re looking for a sweet, social shepherd to take on drives and spoil with treats, come say hi!

Hi, I’m Paisley! My sibling and I recently lost our home when our owner couldn't take care of us anymore, so now I’m on the lookout for a family of my own! My name is Paisley, and I’m an 8-month-old (as of October, 2026) Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix right around 35 pounds.Because I’m still a young girl, I have plenty of fun, goofy puppy spirit left in me, balanced out by a super sweet nature. I love kids, hop right into the car for rides without any fuss, and I’m already about halfway housetrained, so I just need a steady daily routine to help me cross the finish line! My foster mom says I've also been doing great with my crate training and am catching on really well to new things! Right now, she's teaching me "sit," "lay down," and "stay" (where I wait for her to say "free" before I get my treat!), and I'm even learning to wait in my crate until she says the word "release." When I meet new dogs, I tend to be a little shy and submissive for the first few minutes.

Ever wish you could have that perfect hound? Alice is the one for you. She is also affectionately known as
Moaning Myrtle. She has very pronounced and hilarious sighs and moans (not a barker though). Maybe it's someone blocking her sunshine?? Never has there been a more sun loving pup - she loves to spend time in her fosters quiet backyard contemplating nature. Snuggle time is on her favorites list unless her own bed is calling her for a nap. A crate is also an ok choice for her as long as treats are included.

*FOSTER NEEDED**Oh baby, let's talk Winnie!
Winnie is an 11 week old hound baby that survived being found on the streets at 4-5 weeks old and only 2.2 pounds. She is now a whopping 13 lbs with cute floppy ears and big clumsy feet. And an even cuter little houndy baarrroo!
Great at tug of war and a top wrestler, she keeps up with her foster family in every way.
Jumping and running and playing in the yard are in development. Morning "sniffari" walks in the backyard with foster mom are so much fun.
Speaking of walking, harness manners are coming along nicely! She’d be a great companion at a dog friendly brew pub where she can greet new friends, canine and human- she loves them all!
Winnie would love a playful canine sibling and humans that are active and ready to keep her little brain challenged. She has been the ultimate welcome wagon in her foster home.
Crate trained, sleeps through the night and almost potty trained.
Her new family should be prepared for all that a young puppy needs including a schedule that allows for many potty breaks through the day! Our best guess at a full grown weight is around 50lbs- most of that in her already long legs!

Coming Soon

Let's talk Harvey and yes- he really is only 22 lbs!

For such a young pup (estimated at about a year old), Harvey is a true romantic. He enjoys long walks, watching rom coms and being serenaded by his human (he’s told us low, crooning love songs are his personal fave!) He is good with kids, friendly with people and loves to play with other dogs. He is however, decidedly not a fan of the rain and likes a warm sweater when it is cold - can you blame him?

That adorable underbite belongs to the sweetest boy Willie.
At just 8 lbs and approximately 3 years old, he was found wandering the streets of NC, underweight with a gash on his head.
He was scared and exhausted but wanted nothing more than to find a warm lap, snuggles and kind words.
Fellow pups can scare him at first but with a good intro and reassurance he becomes one of the pack.
He is smart and makes quick work of gates and obstacles - perhaps he’s part cat! He really just wants to be close to his humans. However, settling in to his crate at night comes without any fuss. I'm sure if you said he could sleep with you, his heart would be happy.
So far, he is housetrained and does ask to go out.
If you are looking for that little buddy that needs some TLC in return for so much love Willie is your boy.
