Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 1, 2026 — Harrison County Animal Control is currently facing a significant challenge with an influx of animals, having recently taken in 30 cats and kittens. This increased intake has led to the facility operating at maximum capacity, prompting an urgent call for community support.

The agency has announced that their primary rescue outlet is currently full, creating a critical need for immediate assistance. To manage the situation and ensure the well-being of the animals, Harrison County Animal Control is actively seeking help from a network of external partners. This includes reaching out to animal rescue organizations, individuals willing to provide temporary foster care, and transporters who can assist in moving animals to available spaces.

The appeal for assistance is directed towards rescues that may have capacity for additional cats and kittens, fosters who can offer short-term or long-term housing, and transporters capable of relocating animals within or outside the county to relieve the pressure on the local facility. Specific details regarding the condition of the animals or the exact timeline of the intake were not provided.

The agency emphasizes that collaboration is crucial during this period. Any organization or individual able to offer support is encouraged to contact Harrison County Animal Control. The exact contact method for offering assistance was not specified in the announcement.
