My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, friend. Are you looking for a super sweet, super cute, mellow pup to fill your home with love and soulful baroos? Well, my name is Sunjoy and I know that I check off each one of those boxes! I am an 11 year old Plott Hound that is looking for a home with a good sunny spot to snooze in.

I came to SVASC when my person could unfortunately no longer care for me, but thankfully, I quickly moved in with my pawsome foster dad, who has been taking great care of me and giving me all of the love since I arrived at his house, but he keeps telling me that there's a special someone out there for me and oh man, am I excited to meet that someone! I hope that they know how to give me the best ear rubs and that they don't mind if I stretch out on the couch!

I am house-trained and am a very tidy gal! I am also superb on leash and almost never pull (unless I spot a snack on the floor; then all bets are off.) I am great with other dogs and am even good around kiddos! I have lost my hearing in my old age, but that's quite alright because it hasn't slowed me down any.

My adoption fee is $175, which covers all of my vetting. If you would like more information on me, please give SVASC a call at (540) 943-5142, email SVASC at ewiles@co.augusta.va.us. I am currently in foster care, so please call ahead and ask about Sunjoy!

More about this shelter

Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center is an open admissions animal shelter and is home to dozens of animals looking for their forever homes. We are a Municipal pound for Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro so we take in all strays, abandoned animals, and owner surrenders. We have 40 dog runs and about 85 cat cages.

The Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center began operation in September of 2011. Since opening, we have successfully lowered the euthanasia rates for our community! Our shelter's current save rate is 95 percent, which is the direct result of our dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to finding these animals their forever homes. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website for more information.

We offer help to our community through education and assistance. With the help of other organizations we are able to spay/neuter animals in our community that the owners could otherwise not afford. With the help of our community we are on a mission to save every adoptable animal in our area.
