My story

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

Dopey INDEED. This is one googley-eyed goofball. Dopey has MAD PUPPY energy - a real wild child! He's still very young (hasn't quite grown into his paws...or his satellite ears) and is WIDE OPEN, but he is SO sweet & eager. His tail never stops wagging and he's all around a happy boi.

Dopey loves treats (responds to "sit"!), giving kisses, rawhides & PLAYING. With consistent and firm training, he has all the potential to be a wonderful pup with a hilarious personality. He's shown to be very attentive young guy and not as difficult to manage on a leash as one might expect - still all over the place, but he means well. With other dogs, Dopey seems to want to play, which is great, but he'll need consistent socialization while he's still young to make sure he stays that way! NO CATS for this dope, though!

By the way, he has no table manners, absolutely needs potty-training and thinks counter surfing is the most funnest (his word, not ours) thing to do.

That being said, if you're up for the most rewarding challenge with the sweetest, dopiest pup ever, CALL THE SHELTER TO SCHEDULE A MEET & GREET!

Dopey is currently Pre-Adoptable/eligible for FOSTER-TO-ADOPT until he finishes up some routine vetting/vaccines.

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.
