Dirt Road Rescue - Harrison County, WV
Tucked into the quiet hills of Shinnston, West Virginia, down a winding road most people will never see, sits a tiny shelter that holds just sixteen dogs. It is small, humble, and easy to overlook. But inside those fences live sixteen beating hearts waiting for someone to notice them.
In this episode of Dirt Road Rescue, we meet the kind of people who define the true spirit of West Virginia. With grit, compassion, and the stubborn hope Appalachians are known for, they show up every day for dogs the world has forgotten. Resources may be scarce, but love is not.
Sometimes the biggest hope for a dog doesn’t come from a big city shelter. Sometimes it begins in the hollers of a quaint mountain community.

Do you have to live in the area to adopt one of the dogs from this shelter?
Have you shared this on Facebook? I'd love to tag a few of our local rescues & transports. I know you work with Ruff Start Rescue outta Minnesota. We are actually adopting a small black Pit mix from them tomorrow! So excited that may clear up more spaces for you and anyone else who needs there transport help.

Hi I meant I just started watching and listening to this post I've been watching and listening for years. (didn't see a place to edit)
I'm just starting watching and listening I have belonged to Patreon probably two years? Appreciate all your postings all the work that you do how busy you are and that you still share stories of your challenges humor rescues and the not fun things. Sending all good thoughts and just sharing an idea: (doesn't mean it's a good idea just an idea) for small shelters that still have good populations in their state or within a 50 mile radius or 100 mile radius could there ever be a virtual kiosk in a more populated location that would show pictures of the dogs available say at a pet food store or some other mall where people could view the animals available even if they'd have to drive to meet them in adopt them just a thought in addition to the online.
I hope your fairy godmother grants you your 3 wishes for these dirt road shelters!
This is a great way for people to find a new best friend!
WV is also beautiful so anyone wanting to adopt will have a wonderful gorgeous drive!!
