Rescuers from North Carolina, the greater Washington, D.C. area and as far away as Maine. Over the weekend, all 54 cats were transported to a no-kill shelter in Moore County, N.C. People with A Forever Home in northern Virginia drove six hours to rescue 38 animals deemed suitable for travel. Some other dogs were taken to Maine, Roach said. Between 20 and 30 of the remaining animals are being spayed or neutered daily, Roach said. Workers at the shelter continued to try to find homes for many of the remaining animals. Time is of the essence, though. The county commission has hired an animal control team from Parkersburg that will visit the shelter next week to make recommendations for animals that should be euthanized.

The Mason County Animal Shelter has now been taken over by the county. All but 7 of the close to 400 dogs were placed or picked up by rescue groups from as faraway as Maine. Thanks so much to those groups! The shelter will no longer be a no-kill as of 8/17/07
