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.

Big Orange 🍊 is finally ready for a proper introduction. He was part of a massive hoarding case we took in from February, and as a result of living with so many other cats he wasn’t properly socialized with humans.

Big Orange was terrified of the shelter and for the longest time we thought he was completely feral, we started to lose hope we would be able to work with him at all and started preparing him for a barn home (hence the ear tip)

Until one random day where he seemed to have a change of heart overnight. He started to approach us and vocalize more. He now chatters to us all day everyday and we love it 🧡

Big Orange’s two favorite things are Churu treats and other cats. We really think he’d blossom in a home with another cat companion based off his reaction to them at the shelter: he will run across the room to greet other cats and adorably rubs his head against theirs.

We would love to find this big guy a loving home but do want to be honest- he is still a work in progress as far as socializing goes. He loves pets but is still very unsure of being picked up. We think he would be so much happier in a home with other cats and that would help with confidence and make socializing him all the more easy.

Big Orange is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/ FeLV.

🚨 CRICKET IS HERE, AND HE DID NOT COME TO PLAY… JUST KIDDING, THAT’S LITERALLY ALL HE WANTS TO DO! 😂🐾

Meet Cricket! This 1 ½-year-old Pit Mix is handsome enough to be a doggy model, sweet enough to steal your heart, and energetic enough to make you question whether he secretly runs on batteries! 🔋🤣

Cricket loves toys, loves pets, and loves having a good time! If you’re looking for a couch potato, you might want to keep scrolling. If you’re looking for a fun-loving best friend who will keep you moving, make you laugh, and shower you with affection, Cricket is ready to clock in for duty! 🐶❤️

Now, Cricket would like us to mention that he’s still working on his resume. 😉 He needs a patient adopter who is willing to help him learn boundaries, manners, and how to walk nicely on a leash. With consistency, training, and plenty of positive reinforcement, this handsome boy has so much potential!

🏡 Cricket's dream home:
🐾 A home with NO other animals.
🐾 An active family ready for adventures and playtime.
🐾 A patient family willing to help him learn and grow.
🐾 Kids may be a great fit! Cricket has had a meet and greet with children and did well. We ask that the entire family come to meet him to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

Cricket is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, so he’s already checked off some important boxes!

All he needs now is someone to love him, guide him, play with him, and remind him occasionally that toys are not the only important thing in life. (Although Cricket may respectfully disagree.) 😂🧸

Handsome? Check. Sweet? Check. Playful? DOUBLE CHECK. ✅

Cricket is ready to trade shelter life for a forever home. Come meet this lovable goofball and see if he’s the missing piece of your family!

❤️ ADOPT CRICKET! ❤️

🐾 Meet AJ — 5 Months Old and Ready to Take on the World! 🐾
💕 Hi there! I’m AJ, a 5-month-old Pit Mix with a whole lot of love, a little puppy mischief, and a lifetime of fun just waiting to happen! 🐶💗
I’m still just a baby, which means I’m learning all about this big, exciting world! I’ll need a family willing to help me learn my manners, understand boundaries, and grow into the amazing, well-rounded girl I’m meant to be. Bonus points if you have another friendly dog who can show me the ropes and teach me the proper way to dog! 🐕 A dog test will be required for any canine siblings.

💙🐾 Meet Major Gordon Payne — Your Future Snuggle Buddy! 🐾💙

Looking for a little love, a lot of cuddles, and a best friend who thinks personal space is totally overrated? Meet Major Gordon Payne! 🥹❤️

This 1–2-year-old Poodle mix is as sweet as they come! Major is a loving little guy who just wants to be by your side every minute of the day. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, going for a car ride, or spending time with the family, he wants to be right there with you! And fair warning… he firmly believes he's a lap dog, no matter how much room you have! 😂💕

Major can be a little nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new things, but give him a little time and patience, and he warms up before you know it! Once he feels comfortable, his loving personality really shines. ✨

🐶 A canine companion would be a HUGE bonus for Major! He's shown that he absolutely loves being around other dogs, and having a furry friend in the home helps build his confidence and makes him feel more comfortable.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We think Major could make a GREAT family dog and would love a family with kids to shower him with affection!

🐱 Cats are still an unknown, so slow, patient introductions would be best.

Major is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He's also a wonderful passenger in the car!

This sweet boy doesn't ask for much. Just a little patience while he settles in, a family to love, and maybe a lap he can claim as his own. ❤️

Major Gordon Payne is ready to trade shelter life for a lifetime of love. Could you be the one he's been waiting for? 🏡🐾

Please consider opening your heart and home to this precious boy! 💙

🚨 WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS? 😂🐾

Meet 13-year-old Carmello, the pit mix who apparently missed the memo that seniors are supposed to slow down! 🤣

This handsome gentleman is 13 going on 3! He’s playful, energetic, loves his toys, enjoys car rides, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. Basically, he’s got his retirement plan all figured out… and it involves FUN! 🎾🚗

Carmello is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He LOVES attention and would be thrilled to have a family to spoil him with all the love he deserves! ❤️

🐱 Cats? We’re not quite sure how he feels about them, so slow, patient introductions are best.

👧 Kids? We think he could do well with children who understand boundaries and know that even the most lovable old man needs a little personal space sometimes!

Carmello has plenty of life, love, and squeaky-toy destruction left in him. 😉 He’s looking for a family who will see past his age and recognize the fun-loving, affectionate boy waiting to steal their hearts.

Senior dogs are seriously underrated! ❤️🐶

Come meet Carmello and give this distinguished gentleman the happily-ever-after he deserves! 🏡
