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 Rex! ❤️Five-year-old Chihuahua mix Rex is a little guy who is still trying to figure out this whole new world around him.Rex came to us through a seizure case and sadly, he wasn’t living in the best conditions. He arrived with three other dogs, and while he seems to be dog friendly, he is very nervous and unsure of new people and new experiences. A dog test will be required with any current dogs in the home.Rex may need a couple of meet-and-greets before he feels comfortable enough to show you who he really is. He is unsure about affection right now, and that’s okay. He needs someone who understands that trust takes time and will allow him plenty of decompression time without asking too much of him too quickly.We’re looking for a patient adopter who will give Rex the opportunity to learn what it means to simply be a dog — to explore, play, relax, receive some lovins, and discover that the world isn’t as scary as he once thought. 🥺❤️We are unsure how Rex feels about children, so the whole family will need to come to the meet-and-greet. We are also unsure about cats, and super slow, patient introductions would be best.Rex is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.Rex doesn’t need someone who expects him to come out of his shell immediately. He needs someone willing to sit beside that shell and patiently wait for him to realize he’s safe. Once he does, we hope he’ll discover just how wonderful life can be. 🐾❤️ ...
Update: ADOPTED!Meet Everest! ❤️Six-year-old Chihuahua mix Everest is a little girl who has been through more than she ever should have. She came to us as part of a seizure case and sadly, she wasn’t living in the best conditions. Because of her past, Everest is very under-socialized and unsure of the big, wide world around her.She has such a sweet soul and you can tell she wants to trust and be loved. The hard part is that she just isn’t quite sure what to do with all that affection yet. She’ll need someone who understands that confidence doesn’t happen overnight and who is willing to let her take things at her own pace.Everest came in with three other dogs and seems to do well with them, but a dog test will be required with any current dogs in the home. We aren’t sure how she feels about cats, so slow, patient introductions would be best.We’re also unsure how Everest will respond to children, so the whole family will need to come for a meet and greet.Everest is looking for a quiet, patient home where she can decompress, learn that she is safe, and discover that the world can be a pretty wonderful place. She doesn’t need someone to “fix” her — she needs someone willing to give her time, understanding, and lots of gentle encouragement.She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.If you’re the kind of person who can see the sweet girl underneath the fear and give Everest the time she needs to blossom, she may be the little one you’ve been waiting for. 🐾❤️ ...
