My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rosie is currently in a foster home, but needs to find her forever home asap! This is what Foster Mom has to say:

Hello world! This is Rosie and she is in search of a loving home to call her own!!

Rosie was in rough shape when she came to the shelter but now she's a happy and healthy girl thanks to Friends of SVASC, the 501(c)(3) that funds dire medical cases. She was extremely emaciated, but amazingly sweet. Since going into her foster home, she's now at a healthy weight and is ready to roll.

Rosie and her foster mom have been working on manners and training and Rosie has never met a person or dog that she doesn't want to be besties with. What she wants most is to find a family to love her unconditionally!

It's a work in progress, but sometimes Rosie does chase the cats in her foster home. She doesn't want to hurt them, but thinks they want to play (they don't)!

Rosie loves to play and hike; and would be thrilled to have two- or four-legged siblings in her new home! Her foster mom thinks she might be a bit much for toddlers with her level of ebullient energy.

Rosie is a smart girl and picks things up quickly. She's also very fond of food and treats so she's definitely bribable! She comes crate trained and knowing 'sit' is always the appropriate response if in doubt. As far as potty training, Rosie has never had an accident in the house, but is not left to roam freely indoors to truly know. She doesn't mess in her crate, so we think 'yes'! Being a young puppy dog, she definitely needs to continue to work on manners and training, but comes with the basics installed already!

Not sold yet? I bet if you meet her in person you will be! Call the shelter to set up a meet & greet with Rosie!

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.
