Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Paul Rudd: charming, resilient and full of adventurous spirit. If you're looking for an adventure buddy with a sweet soul, look no further. Paul has been with the shelter since FEBRUARY of this year and was found in rough shape. Skin conditions, split tail, poor nutrition, this guy was not having a good time. He's been healed up, of course, and despite his rough start, Paul is as friendly as one could hope for!
As far as we can tell, the shelter has been Paul's only experience with indoor living and could use a calm and serene home. He likes to keep his kennel clean, though, so housetraining ought to be a breeze. He LOVES to run and is quite a sight. He also loves to give dog hugs by resting his head on your shoulder and doing THE LEEEEEAN. He's such a sweet boy! His stress levels are fairly high in the shelter environment and therefore barks....A LOT....in confinement, but once he's settled and OUTSIDE he hardly barks at all.
The nitty gritty: Paul IS good with medium to large-sized dogs and generally good with kids. He's a floppy, bounding hound dog, though, so he may bowl over little ones by accident. NO CATS!
Paul has a heart of gold and needs a loving home ASAP! We hope it could be you!
Paul is currently in a foster home - call the shelter to set up a meet & greet today!

More about this shelter
Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center is an open admissions animal shelter and is home to dozens of animals looking for their forever homes. We are a Municipal pound for Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro so we take in all strays, abandoned animals, and owner surrenders. We have 40 dog runs and about 85 cat cages.
The Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center began operation in September of 2011. Since opening, we have successfully lowered the euthanasia rates for our community! Our shelter's current save rate is 95 percent, which is the direct result of our dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to finding these animals their forever homes. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website for more information.
We offer help to our community through education and assistance. With the help of other organizations we are able to spay/neuter animals in our community that the owners could otherwise not afford. With the help of our community we are on a mission to save every adoptable animal in our area.
