Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Popeye's previous owner passed away and now it's up to us to find his forever home! He's a senior gentleman who needs a quiet home for his twilight years!
What foster mom has to say:
"If you or someone you know has been dreaming of a dog who brings peace, not chaos, read on. He’s the kind of dog who looks at a brisk cold morning and says, “Ah yes… perfect, let me go contemplate life in the yard for a bit.” He’s a laid‑back outdoor enthusiast who would thrive with someone who enjoys fresh air, slow walks, and a companion who’s happy to just be by your side... Farmer? Gardener? Porch‑sitter? Homebody? He’s your guy.
Inside the house, Popeye is the definition of a polite houseguest. He doesn’t chew your belongings, doesn’t raid your trash, and sleeps through the night like he’s got a full agenda in the morning; although, he will take the opportunity to drink from your toilet with zero shame. He’s not clingy, but he’ll follow you from room to room secretly judging your life choices. And when it’s time to head out for a walk, he keeps that same mellow energy strolling along like he’s browsing all the baked goodies at our morning farmers market, taking in the sights, never pulling, never rushing.
Popeye is a big boy, neutered, up to date on his shots and in good health. Just a big, ol' gentle, cold‑loving guy who’s ready for his next chapter. He’s not old and done...but he is done with all the antics a younger dog might bring you! Adopt Popeye!"
Eligible under our 🌟𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕠𝕣 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕥 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕞🌟 where all of our senior animals 8+ y/o may be adopted for a discounted adoption fee! Instead of $175, fees for our senior pups are reduced to $125! Adoption fees include all vetting, spay/neuter, daily care, vaccines, etc.

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.
