HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — Dogs and cats of all ages, breeds and sizes, and even small critters are available through area animal rescues and shelters, as well as opportunities to help homeless animals through foster programs, donations and help with fundraisers and other family-friendly activities. Contact Rockingham Harrisonburg SPCA or a rescue near you to learn more.

Janet: Meet Janet! Don’t let her facial expression fool you, she’s an absolute sweetheart! Janet loves to get attention and pets from people, sometimes she gets a little stage fright, but that’s something a little bit of encouragement fixes! She’s a huge fan of a nice, comfy bed. Even if her enjoyment of that bed means that she lays underneath it. Loveable, funny, sweet, and so very cute, Janet may be just the cat for you!

Marley: Hello, my name is Marley and I’m a male black/tan shepherd. I’m almost 2 n half years old. I enjoy going on walks and playing with toys. I’m a happy dog, but I don’t like cats or anything that might be smaller than me. I like being outside and enjoy being around kids! I can be shy, but open up quickly!

*Meet and greets by Appointment ONLY*
Dahlia is the final dog from the Broadway hoarding case rescued in May. She has complex medical needs, including bilateral chronic lateral patellar luxation, dental disease (low grade) and a heart murmur. These conditions give her a unique but functional walk. Specialists do not believe she needs a wheelchair at this time, though she may in the future.
Dahlia may be able to live with other dogs similar in size to her and has lived with children previously. She will need an adopter who understands her medical needs and can provide ongoing care.
Please apply for Dahlia using the “Apply for Adoption” button and our team will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet.
