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.
Whew, this little guy is WIDE OPEN! Meet Polo, a sweet and exuberant pup. He's a wee bit anxious and is totally a Bully in a China Shop! It's no wonder - his favorite morning pick-me-ups are dried leaves and a cuppa coffee!
Polo adores a rope toy and runs after any ball (doesn't *quite* fetch - haha) and would love you forever if you played tug-o-war with him! Polo is a pretty happy pup, all around; looking for a home with plenty of dedicated time for exercise! A tired pup is a happy one! This guy LOVES belly rubs, and will flop right over given half the chance. Polo is just a wiggle-worm of affection and excitement! He's always up for a new adventure and will jump right into your car to go wherever you do AS LONG AS IT'S NOT BACK HERE! He adores his human caretakers and has literally the WIDEST pittie smile we've ever seen! We greatly recommend a professional
obedience class, or an adopter who is experienced with such vivacious pups!
Thus far with other dogs, he shows no signs of aggression. No hackles, just excitement; probably wondering if they wanna play tug-o-war, too! It's difficult to determine whether he'd be good with cats, but we're leery given that he is so wide open. Kids? He's probably sweet with them, but would definitely be obstacles he might run over with his zoomies.
Polo is READY TO GO! Neutered, vaxxed, microchipped - Check!
The shelter is open to the public to have a looksie, but in order to set up a meet & greet, an application must be submitted and approved! Call the shelter today to find out more about this handsome fella!

More about this shelter

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.
