3 y/o STANLEY is looking for a home!! This week only through Saturday, 10/17/26, we are 🍒WAIVING ADOPTION FEES🍒 thanks to the ASPCA!

Stanley is an adorable, silly guy who loves attention & affection. He loves kids and just wants to join in whatever fun they're having! He's also good with pups, but kitties are unknown!

Stanley has dual "cherry eyes" (swelling of the inner eye glands) which our non-profit partner Friends of Staunton Augusta Waynesboro Animal Shelter has generously agreed to fund, BUT we DO NOT want Stanley recovering from his surgeries in the shelter environment! Our top priority is simply getting him out of here in order to schedule to surgery! If you could FOSTER Stanley through this procedure, he would be eternally grateful!!!

If you've been approved to foster OR adopt already, PLEASE CONTACT US: 540.943.5142! Or fill out an adoption or foster application on our website!
