Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
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, vaxxed, microchipped - yep! Frodo Waggins is waiting to find his forever home!
Come see this adorable guy on our adoption floor!

More about this shelter
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. We have 40 dog runs and about 85 cat cages.
The Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center began operation in September of 2011. Since opening, we have successfully lowered the euthanasia rates for our community! Our shelter's current save rate is 95 percent, which is the direct result of our dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to finding these animals their forever homes. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website for more information.
We offer help to our community through education and assistance. With the help of other organizations we are able to spay/neuter animals in our community that the owners could otherwise not afford. With the help of our community we are on a mission to save every adoptable animal in our area.
