My story

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

>>𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐀 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄<<

Poor Chief can't catch a break! One of the emergency shelter dogs, apparently Chief never got to leave his kennel for a lot of his life and has some mysterious injuries on top of hip issues from never getting to stretch his legs. He's got more problems than a math book that we are addressing, so hang tight until he's back on stable ground! This guy needs A LOT OF LOVE!

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.
