Local animal control services will be available in Staunton and Waynesboro 24 hours a day 7 days a week to assist residents.  In Augusta County only emergency calls will receive response after 7:00 pm – non-emergency calls will be responded to the next day.

If a resident of any locality desires to take an animal directly to the regional Animal Service Center at 1001 Mount Torrey Road, Lyndhurst, 540.943.5142 they may do so between the hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 11:00 am until 6:30 pm on Wednesday.
