My story

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

>>FEES SPONSORED<<

Ballad's previous owner surrendered her simply because they just *meh* didn't want her anymore! Someone please give this hound the loving home she deserves! This is her second go-round at the shelter 4 years apart.

Ballad is an energetic, sweet girl whose name sings volumes. She's definitely a hound with that bay! She just really loves to sing, ok? In her past life, she mostly was made to live outside, so potty training would be the first order of business (pun intended) after a period of rest & relaxation. She is very loving and of course loves a romp in the woods. She used to live with her sister, so would likely be good with other pups who would ideally be patient, equally-high energy and/or who wouldn't get annoyed with her exuberance. Speaking of energy, she's probably too high-energy for small kids, so 12+ would be best! No kitties for this lady, please!

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.
