Welcome to the Humane Society of Warren County, Virginia

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.

Kitten season is here and we’re still at full capacity with all of the ongoing court case/ seizure cats: which means we desperately need your help by either signing up to foster with us or sharing this far and wide. As we start to take in these vulnerable little ones most of them need special care and extra attention that’s very hard to provide in the busy, sometimes chaotic shelter environment. Kittens are very susceptible to illness when they’re so young and either aren’t old enough to be vaccinated or have only received one round of vaccines - they end up catching upper respiratory infections so easily and it can be difficult to help them overcome being sick. By opening your home up to them you’re not only saving their lives, you’re helping us say yes to all the other kittens that need our help too. If you’re unable to take in bottle babies we understand, it’s time consuming and can be an emotional rollercoaster (just as well as rewarding), we have plenty of older kittens that only need a safe place to land for a few weeks so they’re not sitting at the shelter. All you need is a spare room- we supply everything else. To those that are willing to learn how to bottle feed neonates, we’re more than happy to teach you. If you’re unable to foster please consider donating supplies from our wishlist linked here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12A5HHZ4D0C70?ref_=wl_shareFoster information + application : humanesocietywarrencounty.com/how-foster-care-works/Pictured below is a stray kitten we took in yesterday, rescued from a colony with an eye infection we’re treating.
