Current adoption routes
Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association
📍 Charleston, West Virginia
The official shelter page lets residents browse current dogs, submit an online adoption application, or visit the shelter for a meet-and-greet.
Before applying: This is an all-breed shelter, so search its current dog list rather than assuming a Poodle is available. Review the individual profile and adoption terms before applying.

📍 Northern Virginia fosters; pickup in North Potomac or Gaithersburg, Maryland
Approved out-of-state applicants may adopt, but the rescue does not transport dogs. The adopter must come personally for pickup.

Prepare before applying
- Start with the Charleston shelter’s current dog list if you want an in-state option.
- For Somerset, plan the required Maryland trip before applying.
- Ask for the individual dog’s fee, records, behavior history, and return terms.
