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.
Ozzy is a 3-year-old Beagle mix who is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. He is a timid, nervous boy who may need some time—and possibly a few meet-and-greets—to feel comfortable and understand that he is safe.Once Ozzy starts getting some love, he slowly begins to soften and show you the sweet boy underneath that nervous exterior. He just needs someone willing to be patient, give him time, and let him come out of his shell at his own pace.Ozzy needs a home with children 12 years or older.We are unsure how he feels about cats, so very slow and patient introductions will be needed to make sure everyone is comfortable.We are also unsure about him with other dogs, and a dog test is required with any current dogs in the home.Ozzy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He may not be the dog who runs up and greets you right away—but if you’re willing to give him the time he needs, you could be the person who shows Ozzy that he has nothing to be afraid of and that he is finally home. Ozzy is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let him learn to trust at his own pace. Could you be his safe place? ...
Meet Rebel: 80 Pounds of German Shepherd Chaos & Cuddles Rebel is a 6-year-old German Shepherd who apparently missed the memo that he’s supposed to be “middle aged.” This guy is operating on full puppy mode 24/7. Zoomies? Yes. Toy enthusiast? Absolutely. Professional car ride passenger with his head out the window like he pays taxes? You bet. His previous owner says he’s good with other dogs, but Rebel would still like to schedule a formal “sniff interview,” so dog tests are required. Think of it as canine Tinder, but with less ghosting. Cats? Potentially! Slow introductions are the key because Rebel believes everyone should immediately be his best friend, and not all cats appreciate 80 pounds of enthusiasm arriving at Mach 5. He loves adults but will need a home with older kids. We’d want the whole family to come meet him so everyone can make sure the vibes are right.A few important Rebel facts: -Neutered-Microchipped-Up to date on vaccines-House trained-Crate trained-LOVES car rides-Loves playing outside-Has enough energy to power a small villageRebel’s dream home is with an active family ready for adventures, playtime, walks, and helping him channel his inner tornado into fun and appropriate activities.
