Only One Of Every Three Dogs Finds A Home
In Morgantown and surrounding areas the county dog pound euthanizes about two thirds of incoming dogs while an average of 250 are destroyed monthly. Warden Alvey Squires notes dogs picked up locally may be reclaimed, but county strays rarely find owners. Humane Society head Dorothy Cox urges stronger owner licensing and better enforcement to reduce abandonments, while vets cite responsible ownership and spaying as key to curbing unwanted litters.
