Welcome to the Humane Society of Warren County, Virginia
Our vision is to be part of a community where every pet is a wanted pet.
The Humane Society of Warren County is a non-profit animal shelter in Front Royal, Virginia. Established in 1947, we have been a safe haven to the lost, abandoned and abused pets in Warren County for over 70 years. In 2012 we achieved no-kill status, and are proud to maintain it. You can expect an inviting and welcoming atmosphere when you visit the shelter, and compassionate care for our animals.
We have many community minded programs designed to educate and support our neighbors, including a free pet food bank, a low-cost spay/neuter program, and twice yearly rabies clinics at the shelter.
We are a passionate group of employees, volunteers and fosters working hard to achieve a future where every pet is a wanted pet.
Mission Statement: The Humane Society of Warren County is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate care to abandoned, abused, homeless and neglected animals in our community. We aim to educate pet owners on the importance of vaccinations and population control and to place adoptable pets in loving homes.

Meet Henry: 55 pounds of zoomies, confidence, and LEGS FOR DAYS.At 3–4 years old, Henry is energetic, large, and absolutely in charge of fun at all times. If there were a competition for “Most Likely to Turn Your Living Room Into a Track Meet,” he’d take home the gold. 🏅Henry is dog friendly and ready to make new canine besties. Cats? Jury’s still out — he hasn’t submitted his official report yet. Kids? Yes! He loves them! Just keep in mind this goofy boy doesn’t quite understand that he’s not a 12-pound lap dog. He can get a little jumpy when he’s excited (which is often… because life is exciting).This long-legged superstar would thrive with an active family who appreciates daily adventures, walks, playtime, and maybe the occasional “Henry, four on the floor!” training session. He’s a smart cookie and will absolutely benefit from continued training to polish those manners and learn some boundaries. Underneath the enthusiasm is a very good boy who just wants to do his best.Bonus features: • Rides great in the car (road trip buddy unlocked 🚗)• Goofy, playful personality• Neutered• Microchipped• Up to date on vaccinesHenry isn’t just a dog — he’s a full-on experience. If you’re ready for laughter, love, and approximately 47 joyful laps around your backyard per day, Henry is ready to move in and supervise your entire household.Large. In charge. And 100% ready to steal your heart. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
Meet Harper 🤍Harper is the definition of sweet and soulful. This beautiful girl has so much love to give and just wants to share it with her very own people. She adores humans of all ages — especially the kiddos — and will happily soak up every bit of attention, cuddles, and belly rubs you’re willing to give.Harper would do best as the only dog in the home (she prefers not to share her spotlight!), but she’s perfectly fine with cats. She walks nicely on leash, knows her basic commands, and is eager to please. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines — ready to head straight into her forever home.Right now, Harper isn’t thriving in the shelter environment. Being alone in a kennel is hard on her tender heart. She’s a dog who truly loves being with her people, and the quiet loneliness of shelter life just isn’t where she belongs.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate best friend who will greet you with pure joy every single day, Harper is your girl. She doesn’t need much — just a home filled with love and a family to call her own.Let’s help Harper leave the kennel behind and step into the life she deserves. ... See MoreSee Less
