ABOUT US
The Wyoming County Animal Shelter (WCAS) is funded by and operates under the guidance of Wyoming County Commissioners.
The Wyoming County Animal Shelter is located in Pineville, WV on the same property where the Wyoming County Landfill is located which is adjacent to the Kee Airport in Pineville, WV.
To get to the WCAS from Beckley, WV once in Pineville, WV, by going West 97, you can turn off on Airport Road which is a rough and narrow road and it will take you to the Kee Airport and the landfill. Once you get to the landfill, you will enter it and travel a little more distance to the Wyoming County Animal Shelter’s red, tin building. Another and a better route to the WCAS would be to go ahead and pass Airport Road , still staying on West 97 and turn off on Skin Fork Road and head to the Kee Airport.
The Wyoming County Animal Shelter is staffed by two humane officers, although at this time, Ray Farmer is caring for the complex and all the duties involved in operating a shelter by himself. Their duties although not limited to such are to pick up vicious, unwanted and stray dogs and cats, investigate animal abuse cases of domesticated animals, respond to questions or complaints of the citizens of Wyoming County, adoptions of animals, to do the daily task needed in caring and maintaining an animal shelter, euthanizing animals, etc.
The Wyoming County Animal Shelters hours are 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday except on holidays.
