Briggs Animal Adoption Center

In 2000, Anna saw the construction and opening of The Briggs Animal Adoption Center (BAAC) in Charles Town, WV. Located on the 24-acre NHES Campus, today BAAC is one of the finest animal care facilities in the nation. With a maximum capacity of 80 dogs and over 100 cats, BAAC provides the highest standard of care for pets who have been lost, abandoned, abused, and neglected. An on-site veterinary team heads a clinic exclusively for the homeless pets where each animal is evaluated, treated, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption. In 2001, Spay Today was added, which helps pet owners afford the spay/neuter of around 3,000 dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs each year. Meanwhile, NHES’ Humane Education and Advocacy department travels across the nation to teach school children the urgent need for pet adoption and the truth that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness.
