Welcome to the Humane Society of Warren County, Virginia

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.

💔 OPAL IS WAITING… AND HER HEART IS GETTING HEAVY. 💔Senior hound Opal is one of those dogs who makes you wonder how she ended up without the family she deserves. She’s lonely. She’s sad. And what she really wants is something so simple… a person to call her own. 🥺🐾Opal is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. She may be a senior, but she still has so much love left to give.Opal needs to be the only animal in the home, but she promises to make up for it with a lifetime of dedication and her whole, pure heart. ❤️ She would do best in a quiet, calm home with no kids or older kids where she can finally relax and feel safe.Once Opal is comfortable, her sweet and affectionate side comes shining through. She has some quirks that will need to be understood and managed, but with a patient, compassionate, and aware adopter, we truly believe Opal can thrive.She doesn’t need a perfect home.She doesn’t need someone looking for a young, easy dog.She needs someone willing to see her, understand her, and love her for exactly who she is.Imagine spending your senior years wondering if anyone is coming for you. 💔Opal deserves to know that someone is coming.Could that someone be you? 🥺❤️📍 Opal is waiting for her forever family. Please share her story so the person who is meant to find her has a chance to see her.Senior dogs have so much love left to give. Please don’t let Opal spend another day feeling alone. 🐾💔 ...
