My story

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

Sebastian: lucky pup looking for his luckier forever home!

Sebastian really is a special case. He came to us EXTREMELY underweight, weak and sick. You can't shrink a pittie head, though, which made him look like he would topple head over tea kettle at any moment. Sebastian went from 46 pounds to a now healthy 60 pounds in about 2 months. Now that he looks less like a skeleton with fur and has experienced some love and affection, he's ready to find his forever home!!

This loving boy doesn't present well in the kennels - he doesn't like being cooped up! - but when he's out in the play yard or going for walkies, he's as sweet as can be. Sebastian loves his zoomy sessions; not to mention a good, sturdy long-chew toy. Get those kongs ready!! Once he gets some of his initial energy out, he then relishes belly rubs and diving into your lap for snuggles.

Please give this handsome tuxedo man a chance!!! Fill out an adoption application to set up a meet & greet! You won't regret giving and receiving some love to this lucky boy!

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.
