Page County Animal Shelter

Essential animal services are offered to Shenandoah County residents via the Shenandoah County Animal Shelter.

In order to assist permanent homes or opportunities for rescue, the purpose of this page is to give networking and exposure for animals at the shelter. Despite our best efforts to offer accurate information, this page is managed by volunteers who are not employed by the shelter and do not regularly interact with the staff or the animals.

The Humane Society of Shenandoah County was established in the 1970s by a group of locals concerned about stopping animal cruelty. Since then, these volunteers have had a huge positive influence on the citizens and animals of our area.

The lovely Shenandoah Valley offers simple pet adoption options through the Rockingham Harrisonburg SPCA. As a 501(c)(3) private charity animal shelter that practices no-kill, we do not currently receive money from any major animal welfare organizations like the ASPCA or the HSUS.

Every county in Virginia is obligated to keep a location for the short-term impoundment of companion animals that have been seized by animal control officials or left by their owners. This location is known as our Animal Shelter in Madison.

According to rules established by the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Greene County Animal Shelter is required to humanely follow euthanasia procedures for unwanted animals as well as to arrange for the adoption of as many animals as possible.
