Philippe update!!

Breaking news, Philippe has been adopted!!! His foster mom accepted what he had known from the start, that it wasn’t ok for him to go live anywhere else so officially added him to her family!!

Philippe has had a long journey to get to this point. When he was brought to SVASC, he was a tiny, terrified, fearful, and injured kitten with a questionable future. Today, he is happy, trusting, loved by anyone who spends time with him, and living a healthy, if not normal life! Whether Philippe will make further medical improvement is something only time will tell, but he has recovered well since his surgery and his health overall is good!

Philippe wouldn’t be where he is today without the support he has received from many different avenues! The staff and volunteers here at SVASC; his mom; the doctors and staff at the Animal Hospital of Waynesboro (Dr. Reeder in particular!); and the support of all of you, our community, through shares and donations! Thank you for making is possible for Philippe to have a good life!

Philippe is just one of many of the animals that come through SVASC each year. Our aim is always to do the best we can for each of the pets that come into our care, but it is a job never done and ABSOLUTELY NOT POSSIBLE without the help of our community! Thank you for your continued support!

Philippe found his forever home through our fostering network. While “foster fails” are always appreciated, fostering is not intended to be a long term solution, it is meant as a further networking tool to save more animals! The foster pet your take in saves two lives; the life of the pet you have and the one that we then have space for! Fostering makes pets more adoptable as well! Foster pets are better socialized and don’t suffer from kennel stress that many pets that end up at a shelter are prone to. We are always taking applications to become a foster parent! ... See more

SVASC is in need of dry dog food donations

Our dogs say thank you! ... See more

"Well howdy partners, I’m Cowboy! And I ain’t embarrassed to tell you folks that I’m down on my luck and in dire need of one of those fancy forever families I’ve been hearin’ so much about. Y’see, I’m only about a year old and I’ve got an awful lot of playing, snuggling, napping, and running to catch up on to make up for my time in the doggie hoosegow.

I am an energetic, playful, young Cattle Dog mix. My foster mom has been showing me all kinds of good boy stuff like how to heel on leash and how to kennel up (that means I go to my crate). I’m making great progress on house training and I’m golden as long as I have a solid routine. Again, let me emphasize energetic; I will need lots of exercise and space for zoomies. And hey, I love playing with toys and I’m pretty good at entertaining myself with those. Once my energy is out and we’ve gotten to know each other, I’m happy to curl up and spoon with you on the couch.

Now, the type of home I need in order to thrive and be my best Cowboy is a little complicated. I do well with cats as long as they are used to dogs and not all namby pamby and flighty. Other dogs would need to be submissive or female since I’m the sheriff in town. Children would need to be 13 or older, but don’t let that scare you- I’m a working dog and we can be overwhelming to young kids.

If you’re looking for an energetic, playful, intelligent companion, you’re looking for me, Cowboy. Mosey on down to Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center and we can ride off into the sunset together!" ... See more

Henry is still waiting on his furever home. Here's what his foster has to say about this awesome guy

"Hi guys! Poor Henry is so bummed that no one wants to be his Valentine!! He even went and got professional photos done!!

Henry was brought to the Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center in February of 2014. You read that right folks . . . Henry has been searching for a home for FIVE YEARS!

I know Henry's home is out there SOMEWHERE! He just hasn't found it.

Henry is house broken, crate trained, off leash trained and can be left in the house unsupervised. He is a senior fellow who is low energy at this stage in his life but he does still love shorter play sessions, walks and rides in the car!

Henry is good with most other dogs and with cats in neutral spaces but he is selective about sharing his personal space inside the home. He does have a few doggy friends that he loves to hang with inside but for all intents and purposes he would be more successful as an only pet unless you have the ability to keep him separate from other pets in the home when you can't supervise their interactions.

Henry LOVES women and is equally fond of men once he has a little time to get to know them but he would prefer a home with out children.

Henry had a great time having his photos taken. Please SHARE Henry! Even if you can't adopt... Sharing can be the difference in finding that perfect home!"
