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 Leroy! Leroy is a 1-year-old, approximately 60-pound Pit Mix who is basically a giant puppy in a strong, 60-pound body! He is EXTREMELY playful, loves having fun, and has plenty of energy to keep his future family on their toes.Leroy is going to need an experienced dog owner who understands that young dogs need guidance, structure, training, and plenty of patience. He is still learning his manners and boundaries and doesn't always realize that he is a BIG boy! His previous owner says he is good with kids, but his extra playful and pushy puppy personality can sometimes be a little much. Because of his size and energy, we will require the whole family to come meet him.An active family would be ideal for Leroy—someone ready to give him exercise, mental stimulation, training, and all the outlets a young, energetic dog needs. We think this goofy guy has a LOT of potential with the right person willing to put in the work!Leroy hasn't been around many other dogs, so we're still getting to know how he feels about canine friends. A dog test will be required with any dogs currently in the home. We have no idea of him with cats and we think extreme caution and super slow and patient introductions is best to make sure everyone is comfy. The good stuff? Leroy is crate trained, calm and well-behaved in the car, and is perfectly okay with being bathed and brushed. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.Leroy isn't looking for someone who expects a perfectly polished dog right away. He's looking for someone who sees the goofy, playful young dog underneath the rough edges and is ready to teach him how to be the best version of himself.If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a fun, active companion and you're ready for a little training, a LOT of play, and plenty of personality, Leroy may be your guy! ...
Big Orange 🍊 is finally ready for a proper introduction. He was part of a massive hoarding case we took in from February, and as a result of living with so many other cats he wasn’t properly socialized with humans. Big Orange was terrified of the shelter and for the longest time we thought he was completely feral, we started to lose hope we would be able to work with him at all and started preparing him for a barn home (hence the ear tip) Until one random day where he seemed to have a change of heart overnight. He started to approach us and vocalize more. He now chatters to us all day everyday and we love it 🧡 Big Orange’s two favorite things are Churu treats and other cats. We really think he’d blossom in a home with another cat companion based off his reaction to them at the shelter: he will run across the room to greet other cats and adorably rubs his head against theirs. We would love to find this big guy a loving home but do want to be honest- he is still a work in progress as far as socializing goes. He loves pets but is still very unsure of being picked up. We think he would be so much happier in a home with other cats and that would help with confidence and make socializing him all the more easy. Big Orange is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/ FeLV. To meet him please apply here: humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/...
