🎃To EXPEDITE the process, please fill out a FOSTER OR ADOPTION APPLICATION BEFOREHAND! That way if you've been approved, we can find the right pup for you asap! Please bring family members and any additional [& leashed] family dogs with you so we can ensure the best fit.

As part of the application process, we require consent from a landlord/housing verification, vet verification that all animals in the home are up to date on their vaccines & rabies, plus 2-3 personal references who can vouch for you.

Please bring vaccine & spay/neuter records, plus rabies certification for ALL CURRENT PETS as many vets are closed on Saturdays. If you RENT, get your landlord's number out! Lastly, let your personal references know that you listed them on your application so they know to expect a call from us!

As the MUNICIPAL shelter for Staunton, Augusta Co & Waynesboro, we can only shelter animals from that jurisdiction, BUT WE CAN ADOPT OUT ANYWHERE.

Say hello to Howard! This senior fellow ended up at SVASC and in need of medical care. They reached out to us, and we got him in to see Dr. Reeder for exam and bloodwork. He's got a few more visits ahead of him for dental surgery and a limp, but we'll make sure he gets everything he needs. Better days are ahead for Howard! He's available for adoption through Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center.

503 Animals Helped!🤗
Who would have thought 5 years ago when this nonprofit group began, we would be able to help so many of our local shelter's animals get the extended medical care they needed to become healthy and adoption ready.
We thank our local shelter, Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center, for always caring enough to try to save the cases that need extensive vet care. In many shelters across the country, the medical cases we take on financially would be euthanized. We appreciate that we have a local shelter that cares. We also give thanks to Animal Hospital of Waynesboro for always treating the homeless shelter animals we send them with the same love and care that they give to everyone's pets.
It really does take a village, because without you, our wonderful followers and donors, none of it is possible. Let's keep saving them!

We regret to inform everyone that Trash Can Slayer passed away today. We greatly appreciate all the efforts of his vet care team over the past couple of days. His fundraiser will remain active for a few days if anyone would like to give towards the bill we will have for his care.
Run free sweet boy. 💔🌈

We have an EMERGENCY situation with Trash Can Slayer. He was originally referred to us from SVASC for possible surgery for an old leg injury, but has suddenly found himself very sick. His foster family was very smart and knew he needed emergency help. He is now hospitalized at Animal Hospital of Waynesboro and is diagnosed with Pneumonia and pyothorax. He will need to remain in the hospital for a few days. This was not an expected expense and his intensive care may run close to $2000. Any amount you can donate will help us give him all the care he needs. Click on the link below to donate.

Success story! Corduroy found himself homeless at SVASC and Heartworm positive. We are grateful to have a local shelter that doesn't give up on these dogs, and will reach out to us for help. Thanks to your donations, we were able to send him to AHW and get rid of those nasty heartworms. Now, he is adopted to a great family and living the beach bum life. Long live Corduroy!!
