--------------------------------- Randolph County Humane Society and City of Elkins Joint Press Release November 8, 2019 The City of Elkins presented the Randolph County Humane Society with a check for $5,000 for its Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return (TNVR) program. The program focuses on sterilizing and vaccinating community cats not owned by anyone. This proven approach curbs reproduction, vaccinates against diseases, and reduces nuisance behaviors such as roaming, vocalizing, and property destruction exhibited by unsterilized cats. In 2019 to date, RCHS has sterilized 32 cats within the city limits. This proposal will allow RCHS to TNVR approximately 65 more. Those cats will be identified through strategic analysis of the current waiting list and from data gathered through the shelter’s geo-tracking of existing colonies in order to result in the greatest impact on the population. This effort is a demonstration of the City’s commitment to being a Humane City, a partnership agreed to in 2016 between the City and RCHS. If you have questions about the program, please contact Shelter Manager Kelly Scheidegger at 304-636-7844. RCHS Dedicates Earle Building -- Wednesday August 28th, 2019 RCHS Dedicates Earle BuildingRCHS is proud to announce the dedication of The RCHS Earle Building! This new addition to our facilities will allow potential adopters an opportunity to meet and interact with animals they are considering adopting in a more home-like setting rather than through a kennel door. They'll be able to more easily visualize that animal in their own living room and be more likely to make that life-changing decision to adopt. Thanks to Dick Earle, who remembered us in his will; this will be his legacy! Check out the article and video from WBOY-TV 12 News to learn more! If you would like to learn about how you might include RCHS in your estate planning, please reach out to us.
