Hi everyone, I would like to make a statement. Due to us being a group that supports and listens to victims of abuse and sexual assault, we have chosen to sever any and all ties we may have had with Mountain State Furries

We will ALWAYS listen when victims come forward with proof. You are safe here

We are expected to get more rain over the next few days. If you find yourself out in flood waters, do not drive in them and find higher ground as soon as possible. If you don’t need to go out, please stay in. Your life is worth more.

Ohio Valley Furs @ohiovalleyfurry.bsky.social · Jun 17

Hey everyone! This weekend, Wheeling WV got hit with some really bad flooding, one of the deadliest in Ohio County. We are trying to share information on aid throughout the valley for those affected.

OV Mutual Aid is also taking donations here:
