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.
(714)

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.

Ozzy is a 3-year-old Beagle mix who is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. He is a timid, nervous boy who may need some time—and possibly a few meet-and-greets—to feel comfortable and understand that he is safe.
Once Ozzy starts getting some love, he slowly begins to soften and show you the sweet boy underneath that nervous exterior. He just needs someone willing to be patient, give him time, and let him come out of his shell at his own pace.
Ozzy needs a home with children 12 years or older.
We are unsure how he feels about cats, so very slow and patient introductions will be needed to make sure everyone is comfortable.
We are also unsure about him with other dogs, and a dog test is required with any current dogs in the home.
Ozzy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
He may not be the dog who runs up and greets you right away—but if you’re willing to give him the time he needs, you could be the person who shows Ozzy that he has nothing to be afraid of and that he is finally home. Ozzy is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let him learn to trust at his own pace. Could you be his safe place?

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.
He loves adults but will need a home with older kids. 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.

Elva here is also from the hoarding case. It took awhile to win her over due to how stressed she was but she’s a total love bug now. She even likes being held!

She may need some time and understanding adjusting to a new environment but she’s worth the patience. Once she’s settled she’ll be your new best friend. We think she would be fine living with other cats with slow introductions, we are unsure of dogs.

Elva is estimated to be 2 years old and is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/ FeLV.

To meet Elva please apply here: https://humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/

💔 OVER A YEAR OF WAITING… WHEN WILL IT BE CRICKET’S TURN? 💔

Meet Cricket, a sweet 2-year-old pit mix who has been waiting for his forever family since September 30, 2025. That’s over a year of shelter life, watching the days go by and hoping that someone will finally see him, choose him, and give him the chance he deserves. 🐾

Cricket is energetic, smart, playful, and full of love! ❤️ His absolute favorite? The tug rope hanging from the tree in the play yard! Give him a chance to play, and you’ll see his happy personality shine. He has even had a meet-and-greet with kids and did well!

But after spending so much time in a shelter, Cricket hasn’t had the opportunity to learn what life in a real home is all about. He’ll need a family willing to help him learn his manners and boundaries with some training, patience, and consistency. He may need a little time to settle in and figure things out, but we truly believe that underneath all that energy is an amazing dog just waiting for his chance to shine. ❤️

🏡 Cricket needs to be the ONLY animal in the home. An active family who can keep his mind busy, give him plenty of playtime, and help him become the best version of himself would be his dream come true.

Cricket is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He has so much potential, so much love to give, and so much life ahead of him.

Over a year is a long time to wait for a family. 😢 Cricket shouldn’t have to spend another year wondering when it will finally be his turn.

Please, if you can’t adopt, share his story. His person could be out there scrolling right now, just waiting to find him.

💙 Let’s get Cricket out of the shelter and into the home he’s been waiting for. He deserves a chance, too. 💙

This handsome fella is Abbott!

He’s been with us since February and was part of the massive hoarding case we took on. Although most of the cats were scared and shut down Abbott stood out with how outgoing he was so early on.

Abbott is the most talkative little guy we’ve ever met so when he was extra quiet one day we knew something was wrong, and unfortunately he ended up suffering from a urinary blockage and had to undergo surgery to save his life.

Due to this he is on prescription food to prevent another blockage. We know this might deter adopters so we will help out with a supply of his food to start you off with. He will need to be established with your vet in order to receive the prescription for the food.

We believe Abbott would be fine living in a multi-cat household as long as his diet is able to be maintained. We do suggest using crystal litter to ensure he’s passing urine normally, we have had no issues with him since he’s recovered from his surgery and been on his special diet.

If you’re interested in meeting Abbott please apply here: https://humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/
