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 Carmella 🐾💕We believe Carmella is around 1 year old and she’s ready to find her forever home! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines — all set to start her next chapter.Carmella is still very puppy-like. She’s playful, energetic, and absolutely loves her toys! She’s incredibly smart and very treat-motivated, which will make training both fun and rewarding. She would truly benefit from continued training to help her be the best girl she can be.Because she can be reactive to other animals, Carmella would do best as the only pet in the home. She would also thrive in a home with older kids, as she can get a little mouthy when she becomes overstimulated.Once she settles in, her sweet personality really shines. She loves cuddles, enjoys being close to her people, and has so much love to give. 💖If you’re looking for a smart, playful, affectionate companion and are willing to continue her training journey, Carmella might just be your perfect match!Message us to learn more or to schedule a meet and greet! 🐶✨ ...

Honey needs you.Honey is a 7-year-old boxer mix with the sweetest eyes and the happiest wiggle. She was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. We’ve been told she may have as little as 6 months… or possibly up to 2 years. There is a medication that could help extend her time, but it’s best given in a home — not in a shelter — where someone can watch over her day and night and make sure she stays comfortable.Right now, Honey is still full of energy and joy. She greets us with tail wags, leans in for affection, and soaks up every bit of love she can get. She doesn’t know her time may be limited. She just knows she wants to be close to her people.What she needs now is a hospice adopter — a compassionate heart willing to give her a soft place to land for the rest of her life. Being in a shelter will shorten her quality of life, and we may be faced with making an unfair decision much sooner if she has to stay here. In a home, with comfort, stability, and constant care, she can have more good days — the days she deserves.Honey is currently on medication to keep her comfortable and will likely need it for the remainder of her life. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.Please, if you have room in your heart and home for a special girl who just needs love and time, give us a call. We can answer any questions and go over everything with you.Honey deserves more than a shelter for her final chapter. She deserves a couch, a family, gentle hands, and someone to love her until the very end.Please give this sweet girl the chance she deserves. She is currently in foster for the next week and has been in her home on times out of her kennel before and this is some of the information she has observed while having Hiney with her."Honey is an exceptionally sweet dog. She's been very respectful of house boundaries, and listens well to corrections. She is still settling, but she already has shown a love for couches and beds. After half a day she is already eating and drinking normally. She does appear to have some separation anxiety, some comfort and consistency will go a long way to helping her cope. She's not destructive at all, fully house trained, and really quite a pleasant house guest. On a personal note, this is truly one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She has a heart full of love, a soul full of worries, and a mind full of opinions she will express in various grunts and snorts. As I write this she is sitting on the couch next to me, snoring away after a morning walk and a good breakfast, a perfect Saturday morning with a very precious girl." ... See MoreSee Less
Meet Sosa This handsome 8-year-old gentleman is truly a gentle giant. Sosa has a super sweet and calm demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. Because of his easygoing nature, we think he would likely do well with kids who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs.We are unsure how Sosa does with other dogs, so a dog test will be required to ensure a good match. We’re also unsure about cats, and if there are feline friends in the home, very slow and patient introductions will be essential.Sosa is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines — he’s ready to head home with his forever family!If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Sosa just might be your perfect match. ...
