SPANKY

The Mason County Animal Shelter in Point Pleasant, WV is packed way past their capacity, with new arrivals brought in every day.  One of the shelter residents is Spanky, an English coonhound.  Spanky is a gorgeous dog, with a very loving personality.  He's a very friendly boy, and only three years old.  Once he gets out of the shelter, this dog is definitely going to be someone's best friend.

IF he gets out of the shelter.... The shelter director was forced to start gassing.  There are just far more animals than this small, underfunded shelter could handle.  Unfortunately, hounds are in the most danger.  There are so many of them in West Virginia and so few good homes to be found.  What a shame, because there are so many loving dogs like Spanky who aren't getting the chance they deserve.

Notes: Mason County Animal Shelter is doing everything it can to help reduce the gross pet overpopulation. All animals that are adopted from the shelter will be spayed/neutered and have current vaccinations prior to adoption. There is a minimal cost for this service. Rescues can also take advantage of this service! We want to save as many animals as possible, so PLEASE adopt one or pull someone into your rescue today! He is a very friendly boy around 3 years old.
