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.

This handsome guy is Kevin! He can be super shy initially and takes a bit to warm up. He does much better once he gets used to his new environment. He's extremely sweet and enjoys being around people. Once he trusts someone, he will want to hang out anytime he's not bird-watching out a window, of course. He absolutely loves affection and makes air biscuits while standing when he gets back scratches. If talkative cats are your thing, then he's the guy for you! Kevin will loudly let you know when it is time to eat and will walk around yelling if he can't find someone to keep him company. He also loves having other cat friends to play with! However, he tends to bully cats that are afraid of him, so a more confident and playful cat would be best for him. He has also done great with kittens and they really help him come out of his shell. He has been with a foster for a while now and has made himself at home while waiting for someone patient to give him a chance and his forever home.

🐴 A Fairytale Ending Needed for Shrek, Fiona & Puss n Boots 🐴
After being part of a seizure case, these three horses are finally ready to begin the next chapter of their lives. They have come a long way and are now looking for loving homes where they can enjoy the care, kindness, and stability they deserve.
🤎 Shrek (Red Paint, Gelding, approximately 20 years old)
Shrek is a sweet boy who has been through a lot. He has tested positive for Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis and has completed a round of medication to help manage these conditions. He has also been diagnosed with Ringbone. While he may require some extra care and consideration, Shrek has a kind soul and deserves a home where he can be loved and appreciated.
🖤 Fiona (Black/Bay Mare, approximately 20 years old)
Fiona has a classic mare personality and isn't afraid to let you know what she's thinking! Despite her occasional attitude, she is a sweet girl who enjoys attention and is ready to find a family of her own.
🖤 Puss n Boots (Black/Bay Gelding, approximately 20 years old)
Puss n Boots is a gentle boy who can be a little skittish at first, but underneath his cautious nature is a very sweet horse looking for someone patient and understanding to help him continue building confidence.
Both Shrek and Puss n Boots are gelded, and while the boys can be a bit nervous at times, all three horses are deserving of a fresh start after everything they've endured.
These fairytale characters have already faced their dragons. Now they just need their happily ever after. Could that be with you? ❤️🐴
Please reach out for more information about adoption and to learn which of these wonderful horses might be the perfect fit for your farm and family.

They have an appointment for June 17th to have their teeth floated and will be available for adoption after that.

Meet Rebel: 80 Pounds of German Shepherd Chaos & Cuddles
Rebel is a 6-year-old German Shepherd who apparently missed the memo that he’s supposed to be “middle aged.” This guy is operating on full puppy mode 24/7. Zoomies? Yes. Toy enthusiast? Absolutely. Professional car ride passenger with his head out the window like he pays taxes? You bet.
His previous owner says he’s good with other dogs, but Rebel would still like to schedule a formal “sniff interview,” so dog tests are required. Think of it as canine Tinder, but with less ghosting.
Cats? Potentially! Slow introductions are the key because Rebel believes everyone should immediately be his best friend, and not all cats appreciate 80 pounds of enthusiasm arriving at Mach 5.
People? He loves them all — kids, adults, probably your weird uncle too. We’d want the whole family to come meet him so everyone can make sure the vibes are right.
A few important Rebel facts: -Neutered
-Microchipped
-Up to date on vaccines
-House trained
-Crate trained
-LOVES car rides
-Loves playing outside
-Has enough energy to power a small village
Rebel’s dream home is with an active family ready for adventures, playtime, walks, and helping him channel his inner tornado into fun and appropriate activities. He’s basically a furry gym membership with ears.
If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, adventure buddy, and part-time comedian, Rebel is ready to report for duty.

Our sweet Henry is finally done with his medical hold and ready for his new home. He has been in foster and this is what they have to say about him.

If you are interested please call us so we can coordinate a day and time with the foster for a meet!

Doberman and Shepherd lovers, look no further—Henry is your guy!
While Henry may be a mix, his personality is everything you'd expect from his breeds. This handsome young boy is sensitive, loyal, and convinced he's much smaller than he actually is. He's the kind of dog who wants to be close to his people and be part of whatever you're doing.
Henry is fully kennel trained, house trained, and even does well left loose in the home when you're away. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a home with a canine playmate to help burn off some energy and share in the fun. He gets along with dogs of all sizes, though he's still learning that his smaller friends appreciate a gentler play style.
As a young (and admittedly immature 🤪) dog, Henry has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life. He's looking for an active family that can provide exercise, adventure, and continued training. The good news? Henry is highly food motivated and eager to learn, making him a fun and rewarding training partner.
Whether you're looking for a running buddy, hiking companion, or loyal best friend, Henry is ready to step into the role. With a little guidance and plenty of love, this sweet, goofy boy is sure to become an incredible companion.
Ready to meet your new adventure partner? Henry can't wait to meet you!

Meet Sosa
This handsome 8-year-old gentleman is truly a gentle giant. Sosa has a super sweet and calm demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. Because of his easygoing nature, we think he would likely do well with kids who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs.
We’re also unsure about cats, and if there are feline friends in the home, very slow and patient introductions will be essential.
Sosa is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines — he’s ready to head home with his forever family!
If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Sosa just might be your perfect match.

Meet Fats – Looking for a Patient, Loving Home
Fats is a handsome doodle who is around 1 year old. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines. Now, he's searching for a family willing to give him the time and understanding he needs to truly shine.
Fats came to us from a hoarding situation and has had very limited exposure to the world. Because of this, new people, new places, and new experiences can be overwhelming for him. He is a sweet boy at heart, but he needs a patient adopter who will let him move at his own pace and show him that life doesn't have to be scary.
We feel Fats would do best in a home with another confident, friendly dog to help guide him and show him the ropes. Having a canine companion could make a huge difference in helping him build confidence.
Due to his nervous nature, we believe a home with older, respectful children would be the best fit. We are unsure how he does with cats, so any introductions would need to be very slow, patient, and carefully managed.
FATS will also benefit from continued training. Positive reinforcement training will not only help him learn important life skills but will also help build his confidence and strengthen the bond with his new family.
Fats isn't looking for perfection—he's looking for someone willing to believe in him. With time, consistency, training, and lots of love, this young boy has the potential to blossom into an amazing companion.
Could you be the one to show him that the world is full of kindness?

Meet Bama!
Bama is an 8-year-old Bichon mix weighing around 20 pounds who is looking for a patient and understanding forever home. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
Bama can be nervous around new people and may need a couple of meetings before he feels comfortable, but once he trusts you, he becomes a sweet little cuddle bug who loves being close to his people. His previous owner says he does well with kids, and we would like the whole family to come meet him to help make sure everyone is a good fit.
He is manageable on leash but would benefit from some basic training and continued confidence building. Bama is dog selective, so a dog test will be required for any potential canine siblings. His history with cats is unknown, so very slow and patient introductions would be best.
Bama loves being outside, going on walks, and playing with squeaky toys. He enjoys the simple things in life and would thrive with someone willing to give him time, patience, and love.
One important thing to note is that Bama does not enjoy vet visits or grooming and will need sedation for both. Potential adopters should carefully consider this ongoing need before applying to adopt him.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time to shine, Bama could be your perfect match.

We will be continuing with our $25 adoption special through the end of today!

We still have two adorable pairs of kittens available as well as some amazing adult cats.

Rose Bud and Nova ( black, short hair and medium hair) - 3 month old females

Bart and Lisa (tabbies, short hair) - 9 week old male and female bonded pair.

Please make sure to bring proof of rabies for other pets in the home if planning to adopt kittens younger than 12 weeks.

If you do not already have another cat at home we strongly advise adopting in pairs and offer BOGO along with the adoption special.

🌼 Meet Marg! 🌼
If you're looking for a cat who will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give, then Marg may be your perfect match!
Marg is approximately 1–1½ years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. This sweet girl absolutely adores being petted and spending time with her people. In fact, if you stop giving her attention, she may gently nibble on you as her way of saying, "Excuse me, I wasn't done being loved yet!" ❤️
Marg previously lived in a foster home where she was around other cats and dogs. While she didn't have direct interaction with them, she was comfortable seeing and hearing them. Because every animal is different, we recommend very slow and patient introductions to help everyone adjust and set them up for success.
We think Marg would likely do well with kind, respectful children who understand boundaries and are willing to give her the patience and love she deserves.
This affectionate girl is ready to find a family of her own—one that won't mind giving a few extra pets when she asks for them! 🐾
Could Marg be the missing piece of your family? ❤️🐱
