My story

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

Hey there, I'm Tubby Custard, the biggest goofball you'll ever meet, and I'm here to bring some laughter and joy into your life! At around 6-ish years old, I'm a Hound/Lab mix who's just excited to be alive and making friends! My journey to the shelter started at a popular dumping area, but thanks to a kind soul who scooped me up, I'm now ready to find my family. I would call myself a bit of a class clown, but don't worry - I promise to always put a smile on your face with my silly antics and endless enthusiasm for life.

Sure, I may have never lived inside before, but I'm eager to learn the ropes with the help of a patient family who's willing to give me a chance. After all, I'm worth it-I'm a funny goober who loves nothing more than playing, going for walks, getting pets, and spending time with my favorite people. While I'm okay with other dogs, a meet and greet with any current pets would be a solid plan, and I think I'd do just fine with older kids (maybe 12+) who can handle my occasional overexcitement and jumpy nature-I'm working on it, I promise! So, if you're ready to welcome a lovable goofball like me into your heart and home, let's make some memories together that are sweeter than Tubby Custard!

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, or stop by during open hours and ask for Tubs!

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.
