Humane Society of Warren County

Humane Society of Warren County We are the Humane Society of Warren County, a non-profit animal shelter in beautiful Front Royal, VA Owners help us to save lives by waiting.
(719)

The Humane Society of Warren County is a no-kill shelter in beautiful Front Royal, Virginia. We work hard to improve the lives of animals and their guardians in our community. We offer:
Adoptions
Free Pet food Bank
Emergency assistance for veterinary care
Low Cost Spay and Neuter - Coming Soon! Animal Surrender
Lost and Found support

Vision: It is our vision to be part of a community where every

pet is a wanted pet. Admissions:

Stray dogs welcome Thursday-Tuesday 10AM-3:30PM. All other animals are welcome by appointment.

1) HSWC accepts owned animals by appointment. When our shelter is full it means that there are no available kennels. We believe pets deserve a safe place to stay while they wait for a new home. While owners wait, we help them work with their pet on behavior problems and reach out to their own support network for re-homing options. We understand that every situation is unique and will always take a dog or cat if it is in immediate need or danger. We are slowing down our intake process so it is more manageable for our facility. We hope to become a resource for our community, and not a dumping ground. As the contracted public shelter for Warren County, we are saving more lives so the Humane Society of Warren County can be a no kill facility and Warren County can be a no kill community.

2) HSWC accepts healthy stray cats by appointment. When our shelter is full it means that there are no available kennels to house another kitty. If the stray cat is healthy we ask you to wait. Many stray cats are actually owned indoor/outdoor cats and will eventually make their way home. A cat has a much better chance of being reunited with its owner if it isn’t brought into the shelter. Less than 1% of stray cats brought to us are reclaimed. We want to give all community kitties a chance to find their way back home. We know that the community wants the same thing. Thank you for helping make HSWC a safe place for cats to stay while they wait for their forever home.

“Baloo”
4 years old
German Shepherd pure bred
Neutered
Up to date on shots

Baloo is a 4 yr old German Shepherd pure bred who is neutered and up to date on shots. He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. He is trained by Ridge Side K9, but is best to be kept on leash. He does listen and responds to basic commands, and is very high energy. He’s best suited for an active home. Baloo is dog selective, he can respond well with other dogs, but will need a lengthy introduction. Baloo would do best with older children, despite being well intentioned, he plays rough as in very high energy and can knock down younger children and infants unintentionally.

Meet Daphne
Daphne is a beautiful, energetic girl around 4 years old who’s ready to find her perfect match! She thrives with bigger dogs and will require a dog test to ensure a good fit with any potential canine siblings.
She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, and has had a full 4DX test—negative across the board—so she’s all set to start her next chapter healthy and strong.
Daphne is looking for a home without cats. She’s a high-energy pup who will do best with an active family that can keep up with her love for the outdoors—whether that’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or adventures together. She absolutely adores toys and will happily keep herself (and you!) entertained.
Because she can be a bit nervous with new things, Daphne would benefit from continued training to help build her confidence and learn boundaries. She would do best in a home with children 10+ who can respect her space while she settles in.
Once she feels safe and comfortable, Daphne is incredibly affectionate and loving—she just needs a little time and patience to truly shine.
If you’re looking for a fun, active, and loyal companion, Daphne might just be your girl!
Reach out to learn more or to meet Daphne!

🦇 Meet Gambit – The Bat-Eared Goofball with a Big Heart 🐾
Gambit is an adorable squatty pitty weighing in at around 35 pounds and about 1½ years old. With his signature bat-like ears and expressive face, he’s guaranteed to steal your attention—and your heart.
Gambit can be a little nervous when meeting new people and situations, so he’ll need a patient adopter willing to give him time to settle in and feel safe. Once he’s comfortable, his true personality shines—he’s incredibly sweet, playful, and full of love.
This boy has lots of energy and absolutely loves toys, so he’ll thrive in an active home that can keep him engaged and exercised. Due to his sensitivity and need for understanding, we think he’d do best in a home with kids 10+.
Gambit is still working on his social skills and is a bit under-socialized, so continued positive exposure and training will go a long way in helping him build confidence. We’re unsure how he does with cats, so any introductions should be very slow and carefully managed.
He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—ready to find his perfect match.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time (and a lot of love) to blossom, Gambit might be your guy 💙

🐾 Patient, Playful, and Looking for Her Person! 🐾
This beautiful 3½-year-old Husky mix is searching for a home that will give her the time she needs to feel safe and loved. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, house trained, and crate trained—ready to start her next chapter!
At first, she can be a little nervous and may need a couple of meet-and-greets before she feels comfortable with new people. But once you've earned her trust, you'll discover a sweet, loving girl who enjoys being close to her people.
She weighs around 35–40 pounds and has a playful side too! She absolutely loves toys and has a blast chasing balls around the yard. Watching her come out of her shell and enjoy herself is truly rewarding.
🏡 What she's looking for: ✔️ Older children only
✔️ No cats
✔️ Dog compatibility is unknown, so a dog test will be required for any resident dogs
✔️ A patient adopter willing to give her the time she needs to settle in and build confidence
This sweet girl may not be the type to jump into your lap on day one, but for the person willing to go at her pace, the bond you'll build will be worth every moment. ❤️
If you're looking for a loyal companion and have the patience to let her blossom, she may be the perfect addition to your family. 🐺💕

Meet Rocco.
Rocco is a young, energetic guy (around 1 year old) looking for a committed and experienced adopter to help him thrive. He is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines—ready for his next chapter!
Rocco is incredibly smart and full of energy. He will do best with an active owner who can keep both his mind and body engaged. He loves toys and is always ready for playtime, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys an on-the-go lifestyle.
Because of his energy and need for structure, Rocco would do best as the only animal in the home and with children 10 and older. An experienced owner will be key in helping him build good habits, confidence, and balance.
With the right guidance and consistency, Rocco has so much potential to become an amazing, loyal companion.
If you’re ready for a fun, intelligent dog who will keep you moving and thinking, Rocco might be your perfect match.
Reach out to learn more or to meet Rocco!

💔 Why Are We Being Overlooked? 💔
Meet Macka and Jean Luc, two young doodle boys who are still waiting for someone to see past their fear and into their hearts.
At only around 1 year old, these handsome boys are neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. They came to us from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, where they missed out on many of the experiences that help puppies learn the world is a safe place.
Because of that, everything is still a little scary.
New people. New places. New sounds. New experiences.
While other dogs may run up for attention, Macka and Jean Luc hang back, unsure and worried. But if you take the time to sit quietly with them, you'll see the sweet, gentle souls hiding underneath all that uncertainty.
These boys don't need perfection. They don't need someone who expects instant confidence or instant cuddles. They need someone willing to be patient, celebrate the little victories, and show them that not every new thing is something to fear.
We believe they would thrive in homes with other friendly, confident dogs who can help teach them how wonderful life can be. We are unsure how they will do with cats, so very slow and careful introductions would be best. Because they are so timid, we feel a home with older children or calm, respectful kids would help them feel safest.
While they came from the same situation, Macka and Jean Luc cannot be adopted together. Each boy needs the opportunity to build confidence and form his own bond with his new family. We know that may make their search a little harder, but we are committed to finding the best fit for each of them.
Every day they watch other dogs leave for homes of their own, and every day they wait.
Macka and Jean Luc are not looking for someone to save them—they are looking for someone willing to believe in them.
They deserve patient adopters who will give them the time, love, and understanding they need to discover that the world can be a wonderful place. ❤️
Please help us find these sweet boys the homes they've been waiting for. A share could be the one thing that changes their lives. 🐾💕
