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.

This is a courtesy post, Apollo is not at the shelter. Please contact the owner with the information provided. Apollo is a sweet 2-and-a-half-year-old boy who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and playing outside with his brother and doggy friends. He loves eating fruits and vegetables, playing with his squishy toys, and sleeping in the funniest and weirdest places. Apollo is a pitbull mix with husky. He was rescued when he was very small from an abusive home which made him have anxiety over some small things. Apollo is considered a medium size dog and behaves well with other dogs but he gets a little nervous around small dogs! He’s very loving, loyal, and gentle with both people and other dogs. He’s also great with babies and loves giving them little kisses! Apollo can get a little anxious during grooming appointments and vaccines, but he’s not aggressive at all; he just needs some extra patience, comfort, and reassurance.Sadly, Apollo’s family is moving out of the country and can’t take him along, so they’re looking for a loving forever home where he’ll be safe, happy, and cared for. He has so much love to give and deserves a family who will shower him with all the cuddles and affection he loves. My email addresss is and my phone number is 5714692940. ...
