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 Diesel – A Young-at-Heart Senior Looking for His Forever HomeDon't let the gray around his muzzle fool you—Diesel may be 8 years old, but he still has plenty of energy and a playful, puppy-like spirit!This handsome Hound/Pit Bull mix came to us as a stray in heartbreaking condition. He was emaciated when he arrived, but with lots of good food and care, he's been steadily gaining weight and continues to fill out beautifully. Now he's ready to find a family of his own.Diesel is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.He's an affectionate, loving dog who enjoys being with people, but he's still working on his manners. Diesel would benefit from training to help him learn boundaries and appropriate behavior. When he gets overly excited, he can become pushy and mouthy, so we feel a home with children ages 10 and older would be the best fit. We'd also like any children in the home to come to the meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable together.We are unsure how Diesel does with other dogs, so a dog meet is required before adoption. He is also very pushy around cats, so if a home has feline friends, extreme caution and very slow introductions are essential.Diesel has been through a lot, but he hasn't let that take away his loving personality. He's looking for a family that will give him patience, guidance, and plenty of opportunities to burn off his energy while enjoying the life he deserves.If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Diesel may be waiting just for you.
Meet Rebel: 80 Pounds of German Shepherd Chaos & Cuddles Rebel is a 6-year-old German Shepherd who apparently missed the memo that he’s supposed to be “middle aged.” This guy is operating on full puppy mode 24/7. Zoomies? Yes. Toy enthusiast? Absolutely. Professional car ride passenger with his head out the window like he pays taxes? You bet. His previous owner says he’s good with other dogs, but Rebel would still like to schedule a formal “sniff interview,” so dog tests are required. Think of it as canine Tinder, but with less ghosting. Cats? Potentially! Slow introductions are the key because Rebel believes everyone should immediately be his best friend, and not all cats appreciate 80 pounds of enthusiasm arriving at Mach 5. He loves adults but will need a home with older kids. We’d want the whole family to come meet him so everyone can make sure the vibes are right.A few important Rebel facts: -Neutered-Microchipped-Up to date on vaccines-House trained-Crate trained-LOVES car rides-Loves playing outside-Has enough energy to power a small villageRebel’s dream home is with an active family ready for adventures, playtime, walks, and helping him channel his inner tornado into fun and appropriate activities. He’s basically a furry gym membership with ears. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, adventure buddy, and part-time comedian, Rebel is ready to report for duty.
