Paul Rudd: charming, resilient and full of adventurous spirit. AND, his fees have been SPONSORED! If you're looking for an adventure buddy with a sweet soul, look no further. Paul has been with the shelter since FEBRUARY of this year and was found in rough shape. Skin conditions, split tail, poor nutrition, this guy was not having a good time. He's been healed up, of course, and despite his rough start, Paul is as friendly as one could hope for!

As far as we can tell, the shelter has been Paul's only experience with indoor living and could use a calm and serene home. He likes to keep his kennel clean, though, so house-training ought to be a breeze. He LOVES to run and is quite a sight. His stress levels are fairly high in the shelter environment and therefore barks....A LOT....in confinement, but once he's settled and OUTSIDE he hardly barks at all.

The nitty gritty: Paul IS good with medium to large-sized dogs and generally good with kids. He's a floppy, GOOFY, bounding hound dog, though, so he may bowl over little ones by accident. NO CATS!

Paul has a heart of gold and needs a loving home ASAP! LET'S FIND PAUL A HOME FOR THE HOWL-IDAYS!

Call the shelter to set up a meet & greet today!

THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7th, 10a-1p!

Look out for a veritable (but small!) parade of pups beginning at the Sunspots Pavilion next door to The Well Balanced Paw, and bopping around to other local businesses downtown Staunton, including Ciders From Mars / Cat Nap Coffee, to showcase these doggos, find them homes and give them and our volunteers a chance warm our paws up!

We will be bringing Frodo Waggins and a few pups from our Emergency Shelter that ALL need HOMES for the HOWL-IDAYS!

Look out for live footage of where weโ€™ll be on Saturday on our FB page!

What a difference a haircut makes! P**F! Barton is a new pup thanks the generosity of Fluff & Fetch Dog Grooming (located at 310 Kalorama St, Staunton, VA 24401 - they reported he was a perfect angel baby during the whole process.) Barton was filthy, straggly, matted & overall not a happy doggo before. Now it's clear that he's got a new leas[h] on life!

Barton loved the car ride! He's the perfect travel companion and just wants to snuggle and be in your lap OR sit with perfect balance on the console, gazing out as the world rumbles by.

Barton only has one eye, like a mini-pirate, and is on the senior end, but if you're looking for soft little nose nuzzles and cuddles all day, every day; Barton is the perfect pup! We couldn't help but dress him up like a Chrizzmas elf when we got him back to the shelter!

Don't be a Grinch - adopt BARTON! He'll make your heart grow 3 sizes!

As of 12/03/24, Barton is >>PRE-ADOPTABLE / eligible for FOSTER-TO-ADOPT

What an cutie smoosh face! Behold FRODO WAGGINS! Applicants preferably understand the nerdy reference. Mr. Waggins is an utter sweet & squishy boy who is generally unperturbed by the commotion around him - he just lays down and snoozes. Staff say, "He's such a babydoll!

Frodo Waggins would be a WONDERFUL family dog with kids, likely with other pups and even potentially with cats (simply based on his personality). This guy rarely barks, but when he does it's a high pitched yap that doesn't quite seem to fit - LOL. He's low-key & self sufficient, displaying virtually no anxiety. He doesn't even react to dogs that may not like him. FW is not much interested in moving at high speeds or fetching, but likes his stuffies and rope toys. On walkies, he is good on a leash; just moseying along wherever he goes. He even appears house-trained! Frodo Waggins is a curious boy without seeming destructive; and is extremely gentle, but occasionally jumps out of excitement. He knows basic commands, like "sit" and is quite treat motivated! If you're lucky, he'll give you sweet, gentle smooches. So adorable!

Potential adopters should know that, like many pitties, he's got some skin sensitivities/allergies that >likely< come from chicken. We use high quality Hill's Science Diet, but he'll likely need to switch to salmon- or lamb-based kibbles (also available under HSD) to be the healthiest boi he can be.

Neutered, microchipped - yep! Frodo Waggins is PRE-ADOPTABLE/eligible for FOSTER-TO-ADOPT while he gets the rest of his booster vaxxes within a week or two as of 12/02/24.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸซDid you know it can take up to THREE MONTHS for a shelter dog to really get comfy in its new home?๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ

We know getting a new pet is a very exciting time for us all! However, just like people, pets have fears, anxieties, and stressors. Going to a new home with new people can be a scary experience for a pet. They might act out, they might hide, they might have accidents.

Luckily, a little time, understanding, and patience can work wonders for a new pet and can help avoid having to return the pet to the shelter! ๐Ÿ’—

Our Story

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. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website (www.svasc.net) for more information. We are always in need of donations. Things we need are bleach, laundry detergent, cat and dog food (wet or dry), puppy and kitten food, kitten milk replacer, paper towels, blankets, beds, toys, wash cloths, towels, crates, and of course monetary donations.
