    Everything. I've always loved thrift shops, Goodwill stores, places like that. One man's junk, is another man's treasure. It's true, really.

    This is such a wonderful place in Berkely Springs. For a small entry fee (I believe it was $7-8),…read moreyou get all day access to stay, play, and cuddle with the cats. All the cats are very friendly and were super affectionate. There are two floors to spend your time -- the first floor is all adult cats, and also where the gift shop is located. The second floor holds more space to play with the adult cats, as well as a separate, sectioned off kitten room. When we were there, the kitten room was very full of guests, so we stuck to the other areas with the adult cats. The staff was so kind and knowledgable. They will tell you about any of the many cats that are walking around, including their names, personalities, and story. The gift shop proceeds go to keeping the cats there at the rescue, so of course, we bought some small toys to bring home to our cat. It is so admirable to see a group committed to rescuing these beautiful cats!

A harbor for furry felines, this non-profit pet "rescue" has dozens of purry friends for you to adopt! There was a small entry fee, which goes to support the cats' well being. I will say the smell was a bit much! I think they could do a better job with cleaning and such, but I'm sure it's a lot to keep up with. Nice friendly staff, very knowledgeable and pleasant. There are some feline themed gifts for sale, I bought some kitty eared headbands! The cats were adorable and I enjoyed spending some time getting to know their personalities! If you're in the Berkeley Springs WV area, stop in for some feline therapy!

If I had not pulled my fingers out of the fence it would have bit me. It continuously jumped aggressively on the door, barking, showing its teeth and trying to bite us I have supported shelters for decades to include working and doing animal assessments there. I know this dog is not safe, if it had bit my child I would probably sued the shelter. I told the lady working the front desk about the incident. She showed no care nor concern about us or our safety. She just said that the dog is not like when outside of the cage. So she and the shelter is aware of the issue and choose not to deal with it. Their irresponsibility and lack of care for the dog and public safety is egregious I strongly suggest not supporting this shelter until they correct this issue, and to report any other similar incidents that you encounter there.

Suffice to say my family and I are forever grateful for WOASH for their care for not just the animals but the people and families in the community, too.

    I want to start out by saying I don't aim to prevent animals from being adopted, as I think all of…read morethe animals here deserve to find loving homes. However, I recently adopted a cat from White Oak Animal Safe Haven, and if I knew then what I know now, I never would have adopted from here. We took our new cat to the vet after about a week of having her home, and she tested positive for Giardia and Coccidia, two types of parasites. If you don't know anything about this, a quick google search will show you what a process it is to get rid of these parasites in cats. It is really difficult to get rid of and has been an emotional roller coaster. We have spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills and cleaning supplies. We had to treat and quarantine our resident cat. We have a carpeted apartment which makes this so much harder to get rid of. We spent hundreds on carpet cleaning alone. It is also highly contagious, so it is very likely all of their cats and possibly dogs could have this as well. I find it very hard to believe the shelter had no idea their cats have this, and if they didn't, they are not properly vetting their animals (which is funny because they told us they denied someone's application because they said they wouldn't take their cat to the vet). Giardia and coccidia cause the cat to have really bad diarrhea and gas, so if they really did not know their cats were infected with the parasites, they were knowingly not seeking care for their animals. We noticed the smell on the drive home after picking her up, so there's no way they didn't know something was up. They never once mentioned to us that this is something they were dealing with, and they knew we had another cat at home. So they risked my current cats health as well. The adoption process is quite intense and very thorough, which I don't think is a bad thing necessarily; however, to have that type of adoption process and then give me a sick animal is crazy to me. After we got the results, I called the shelter to inform them in case there's some possible way they didn't know, and the woman I spoke to was kind of rude and very dismissive. No apology or anything. I will say, we had a good adoption otherwise. The cat coordinator was very kind when we went to meet the cats and when we picked up the cat we adopted. I just can't believe they gave us a sick cat and never felt the need to mention anything. All of this being said, be aware that if you have recently adopted a cat or plan to, there is almost a 100% chance they will also have Giardia and Coccidia because it sometimes takes multiple rounds of medication and cleaning to fully get rid of this. Our cat has been on one cycle of meds already, and there has yet to be improvement. I don't know how long this has been going on, but if you want to adopt from here, please do some research so you can get it right from the beginning and help the sick cats. It is treatable but it requires a lot of time, money, and consistency.
