For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Trex (like the decking...?), AKA "T-Rex," is a tiny bundle of love and fury. He was surrendered because he was "too much," and, admittedly, he is a handful!
Trex is an enthusiastic pup who demands laps and love, but don't mess with his toys! He has nipped a couple of times, yes, but reading his signs and body language are important. It's a giant world for such a tiny dog! Thank goodness he's portable.
We don't think he actually knows his name, but he will sit for treats, at least. Although he is tiny, we think younger kids are a no-go since he tends to resource guard. This can be managed with training, but he'll need patience. Cats are also a no-go -- this guy is like a rocket! And....he barks his head off at other dogs...Classic "small dog syndrome."
Generally, he gets to hang out in someone's lap in the offices where he is content. Once he dubs you "good human," he'll be all over you! Kisses and love and bouncies galore!
If you're looking for a generally sweet, extremely animated little guy, "T-Rex" is for you! In the words of Delmar, "He's a live wire, though, ain't he?"
Call the shelter to set up a meet & greet!
NOTE: Trex is currently PRE-ADOPTABLE (eligible for "Foster-to-Adopt") because he's waiting for his snippety-snip appointment!

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.
