My story

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

You'd NEVER believe it, but Tyson is a senior citizen! At 10 years old, he'll still give most of us a run for our money, however, as he loves to romp around and play! He's...um...very distinct looking, wouldn't you say??? His previous owners had had him since he was a puppy but couldn't take him with them where they were moving, so here are, hoping someone will give this googly-eyed fella a second chance! We know he gets along with most other pups and kids, but we're not sure about cats. He also adores care rides! Age is just a number and Tyson knows it! Come visit him on our Dog Adoption Floor! Because he's *technically* a senior, his adoption fees are only $125!

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.
