Mugs N Mittens holds adoption event with Marion County Humane Society
FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — Mugs N Mittens in Fairmont hosted an adoption event with the Marion County Humane Society on Saturday. The local cat cafe allows you to get a drink, including some specialty drinks named after the cats in residence, and spend time with some feline friends. Three cats that are up for adoption, Bill, Candace and Monroe, visited the shop today, mingling with the other cats and potential owners. Mugs N Mittens is also fostering another Humane Society cat Johnny, who is also up for adoption. Proposal at Mothman statue goes viral Shayla Pittman of the Marion County Humane Society told 12 News why events like this one are important. 'Mugs N Mittens gets a lot more influx of people than we do,' Pittman said. 'So it's nice to have people be able to come here and see what cats we have for adoption outside of the shelter. It also kind of gives them a chance to see how they interact, with other people besides just the people that are coming in and out of the shelter every day.' Mugs N Mittens Co-owner Morgan Boyle told 12 News that she plans to host many more adoption events at the shop. Next week they'll be hosting Doddridge County Humane Society for a 'plant auction' in which there will also be adoptable cats.

Marion County Humane Society launches Doggy Day Out Program
FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — The Marion County Humane Society has launched a new program to give shelter dogs a fun day out. According to a Facebook post from the humane society, the Doggy Day Out program allows interested participants to take a shelter dog out for activities that both the pup and the person can enjoy, such as going for a car ride, getting a pup cup from Starbucks, taking a walk in the park or going shopping at pet-friendly stores. These outings are meant to help dogs with human socialization only, so if you have another dog they'll need to be left at home. West Virginia bill would require a moment of silence at the beginning of each school day To sign up, participants will need to fill out an application, then the humane society will match you with a dog based on what activity you have planned. You will be given a supply bag, emergency contact information and highlighted details of important points. The humane society also asks that you take pictures with your dog during the outing and tag them on any social media post you make. The dogs must be returned by 4 p.m. unless an overnight is scheduled. Only paper applications are available at this time. You can learn more about the Marion County Humane Society on its website.
