Humane Society of Warren County We are the Humane Society of Warren County, a non-profit animal shelter in beautiful Front Royal, VA Owners help us to save lives by waiting.
(736)

The Humane Society of Warren County is a no-kill shelter in beautiful Front Royal, Virginia. We work hard to improve the lives of animals and their guardians in our community. We offer:
Adoptions
Free Pet food Bank
Emergency assistance for veterinary care
Low Cost Spay and Neuter - Coming Soon! Animal Surrender
Lost and Found support

Vision: It is our vision to be part of a community where every

pet is a wanted pet. Admissions:

Stray dogs welcome Thursday-Tuesday 10AM-3:30PM. All other animals are welcome by appointment.

1) HSWC accepts owned animals by appointment. When our shelter is full it means that there are no available kennels. We believe pets deserve a safe place to stay while they wait for a new home. While owners wait, we help them work with their pet on behavior problems and reach out to their own support network for re-homing options. We understand that every situation is unique and will always take a dog or cat if it is in immediate need or danger. We are slowing down our intake process so it is more manageable for our facility. We hope to become a resource for our community, and not a dumping ground. As the contracted public shelter for Warren County, we are saving more lives so the Humane Society of Warren County can be a no kill facility and Warren County can be a no kill community.

2) HSWC accepts healthy stray cats by appointment. When our shelter is full it means that there are no available kennels to house another kitty. If the stray cat is healthy we ask you to wait. Many stray cats are actually owned indoor/outdoor cats and will eventually make their way home. A cat has a much better chance of being reunited with its owner if it isn’t brought into the shelter. Less than 1% of stray cats brought to us are reclaimed. We want to give all community kitties a chance to find their way back home. We know that the community wants the same thing. Thank you for helping make HSWC a safe place for cats to stay while they wait for their forever home.

Sweet & Spicy Viola is a calico through and through - her tail can be found swishing in agitation and inconvenience at any given time, even when being fed and pet. She is a petite little ball of sass that would strongly prefer to be your only pet - she’s not a fan of any of the other kitties she’s met here at the shelter, we’re unsure of dogs but have a feeling she’s also not a fan of them. She’s estimated to be 6-8 years old and is looking for someone that doesn’t mind having a companion with a little bit of an attitude here and there.

Her adoption fee is $85.00 and includes her spay, vaccines, microchip and bloodwork.

Cicero is a sensitive gentleman now, but he came to us as a street cat with no manners. He has been working hard on learning the important things like "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" and has absolutely mastered the art of biscuit making. Now he's ready to graduate charm school and find his forever home.

He has shown interest in other cats, so he could probably live with them if introduced properly. We are unsure how he feels about dogs, but would likely be ok with calm ones. He would probably do alright with older, cat savvy children.

His adoption fee is $85.00, and he's neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and combo tested.

To meet Cicero please apply for him here: https://humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/

Sophia, aka Sophi, is our oldest cat
resident at 16 years old -

She was surrendered due to her owner going into assisted living. For her age she is in good health, but she will need to stay on medication to manage hyperthyroidism and will need to have a healthy relationship with your vet. She’s on a joint supplement as well to keep her comfortable, she takes it with her food with no issue. She’s also spent some time in a foster home and has been said to be an angel, she gets along with cats and would be fine living with older/ calmer dogs. She’s mostly content to lay around relaxing but does like to take the occasional stroll or sit in someone’s lap for pets. If you have room in your heart for a senior please consider coming to meet Sophi, we would love to see her get out of the shelter and into a loving home to spend her golden years in 💛

Sophi is eligible for a foster to adopt where we provide a 2 week supply of her medication and any other supplies you need to help acclimate her to the home.

If you’d like to come meet Sophi please

EDIT: He has been adopted!

This GORGEOUS boy is Florian! He is a 5 year old long haired neutered male, with a very friendly and gentle personality. He was surrendered from a multi-cat household and would get along with other cats just fine with proper introductions, we’re unsure of how he would do with dogs. He loves being brushed and has an adorably “kitten like” meow.

Cat adoption fees are $85.00 and include spay/ neuter, vaccines, and a microchip and combo test.

To meet Florian please apply here: https://humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/

You'll never be lonely when Tito's around! This chatty boy will keep you entertained with all the latest gossip. He's incredibly playful and affectionate as well. He can be a bit bratty at times; everything has to be on his terms, but he's a fantastic companion!

He may be best as the only pet in the home since he doesn't seem to like other animals.

He's about 1.5 years old and his adoption fee is $85.00. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and combo tested.

To meet Tito please apply for him here: https://humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/

Thank you to Quality Title, LLC for sponsoring Little Gracie adoption fee!! ❤️🐾

Little Gracie loves belly rubs and did well with all the children at Quality Title basket raffle yesterday evening. She has lived with another cat who has already been adopted. We believe she could live with other kitties and dogs who respect cats, using slow proper introductions.

Little Gracie’s adoption fee is waived thanks to our friends at Quality Title. She spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchip and combo test.

Donate a NEW handbag today and help us raise $$ for the homeless pets of Warren County!

Handsome young man Finn is 3 years old. He was surrendered due to no fault of his or his previous owner. He is the absolute sweetest dog and LOVES his humans no matter big or small. He is most happy just being around his family. He is great on leash and loves long walks checking out the scenery. He loves to swim and was taken to the river as often as possible by his previous owner. He is house and crate trained and knows some basic commands. He has lived with or in a home that has had other dogs, cats, cows, chickens and rabbits and did well with all of them. We would require a dog test with any current pups in the home. If there are cats in the home we suggest using super slow and patient introductions in the beginning. If you are ready to add a super sweet and chill dog that will LOVE all of the family to your home apply today! He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Our Story

In late 2011, the Humane Society of Warren County began an aggressive campaign to increase adoptions and decrease the rate of unnecessary euthanasia. By the end of 2012, the animal shelter achieved no-kill status in the dog department for the first time in shelter history, with a 92% live release rate. At the same time, cat adoptions increased over seventy percent. Today, those life saving efforts continue. In 2016, HSWC could save over 95% of the animals that came into the shelter. Animals once thought disposable are now provided the medical and behavioral help they need and are given an opportunity for a second chance. This will be the Humane Society of Warren County's second consecutive year of being designated a no kill facility. Vision: It is our vision to be part of a community where every pet is a wanted pet. Admissions: Stray dogs welcome Thursday-Tuesday 10AM-3:30PM. All other animals are welcome by appointment. 1) HSWC accepts owned animals by appointment. When our shelter is full it means that there are no available kennels. We believe pets deserve a safe place to stay while they wait for a new home. Owners help us to save lives by waiting. While owners wait, we help them work with their pet on behavior problems and reach out to their own support network for re-homing options. We understand that every situation is unique and will always take a dog or cat if it is in immediate need or danger. We are slowing down our intake process so it is more manageable for our facility. We hope to become a resource for our community, and not a dumping ground. As the contracted public shelter for Warren County, we are saving more lives so the Humane Society of Warren County can be a no kill facility and Warren County can be a no kill community. 2) HSWC accepts stray cats on a case by case basis. Many stray cats are actually owned indoor/outdoor cats and will eventually make their way home. A cat has a much better chance of being reunited with its owner if it isn’t brought into the shelter. Less than 1% of stray cats brought to us are reclaimed. We want to give all community kitties a chance to find their way back home. We know that the community wants the same thing. Thank you for helping make HSWC a safe place for cats to stay while they wait for their forever home.

3) HSWC does NOT accept feral kitties. We have worked very hard the past 6 years and we have achieved NO KILL status! Year end 2017, we achieved a 93% live release rate in our feline department and we aim to keep that status. If we continue to accept feral cats, our euthanasia rates go up and our live release rates go down. We believe our community will continue to support our mission and understand why we no longer accept ferals.
