Clarke County Humane Foundation The Clarke County Humane Foundation was formed in 2000 to assist the unwanted homeless and abandoned animals. We are not considered a no-kill shelter.

Donations can be mailed to: CLARKE COUNTY HUMANE FOUNDATION PO Box 713, Berryville, VA 22611
The Clarke County Animal Shelter is a government run 501c3, "open admission" shelter. If you have lost or found an animal you can call the shelter to file a lost/found pet report. Stray animals will be held for a designated hold period, If no owner comes before the end of the hold period the animal will become shelter property. When reclaiming an animal, OWNERS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AND PAY ANY RELATED FEES BEFORE THE ANIMAL CAN BE RELEASED BACK TO THE OWNER. "Open admission" means we receive animals regardless of their behavior, health or level of adaptability, and that we do not turn away any UN-wanted or stray animals from the towns and unincorporated communities of Berryville, Boyce, Millwood, White Post, Waterloo, Calmes Neck, Frog Town, and parts of Bluemont. The shelter takes in roughly 900 animals a year, with the totals growing each year. We take GREAT pride in keeping the shelter clean and inviting and giving the animals in our facility the greatest love, care and attention as possible. This is all managed by two full time employees and volunteers. Along with a small facility comes a small budget. Our local Humane foundation helps us with the unexpected and emergency vet bills and for spaying and neutering of the SHELTER animals. If you would like to help you can be a regular donor or a volunteer! Your donations will help with the present and future care of the animals at our shelter. We do Same day adoptions only if you have already submitted an application and it has been approved. All cat adoption fees are $35 plus the cost of spay/neuter if applicable and dog adoptions are $50 plus the cost of spay/neuter if applicable. Other animals adoption fees vary. If you rent we need a letter from a landlord saying you are allowed to adopt. Must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. All Spay/neuter fees must be paid with a check/money order or cash ONLY and made out to the Clarke county humane foundation. We cannot accept card payments for spay/neuters

Both of Bun Bun's siblings were adopted yesterday and she's a bit unhappy about it. We can find Bun Bun some new shelter friends but she would really like a fur-ever home.

Pet of the week: Bun-Bun is a 4-month-old female domestic shorthair kitten. Bun-Bun came in as a feral kitten with her litter mates. She’s still learning that people are safe and will need a patient home to help her continue building trust.

Bun-Bun is up to date on all shots and microchipped. Her adoption fee is waived for the month of October.

If you can give Bun-Bun a good life, please complete a pre-adoption application: https://www.clarkecounty.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/11281/638367716281800000

Vela may be 9 years old, but you can't tell her that! She is a sweet girl who needs to be the only pet. Thats ok, because she has all the love you need.

Pet of the Week: Vela is a 9 year-old mixed breed. She is a happy, playful girl who loves people and would make a wonderful companion. Vela does not appear to get along with other female dogs - a meet and greet with other dogs in the home would be required.

Vela is up to date on all shots and microchipped. Her adoption fee has been generously sponsored.

If you can give Vela a good life, please complete a pre-adoption application: https://www.clarkecounty.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/11281/638367716281800000
