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.
Well, here's a story...Madam was found with a cardboard tag around her neck stating, "Her name is Madam"....Clearly someone had intentionally turned her loose, but we can only hope it was some kind of mercy.
Miss Madam was terrified at first, but quickly realized us shelter folk are not only nice, but also had TREATS! On some recent adoption excursions, she came out of her shell a bit to show that she is as calm and friendly as can be! She tolerates whack-o dogs (like Brian - haha) scrambling all over her in vain efforts to play with amazing grace. She IS playful, but in a very gentle way. Madam is decidedly NOT the rambunctious type, though she is very openly affectionate. She loves to roll over for belly rubs and will soak it up for as long as you have energy.
She's definitely good with other dogs, and would likely be an excellent family dog with kids. Cats? Questionable. Inside, she was scared and did not approach those who were aggressive. Outside, she spotted one of our resident kitties and tried to chase.
Madam appears to be house trained as she likes to keep herself and kennel pretty clean!
This sweet lady sounds dang near perfect, don't you think? Call the shelter to set up a meet & greet!

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.
