Oops..we might’ve misheard 🤧

No carrier? No problem! Adopting from AWLA means you can get your kitty, carrier, and bits and bobs at the time of adoption. No gloves necessary 🥊

💌 Interested in adopting? Come visit us at the shelter at 2650 S Arlington Mill Dr. Arlington, VA 22206 or drop us a line to [email protected]

Last week, we hosted our Kids CARE Club Howl-O-Ween Party 🎃 Our club kiddos had a fantastic time drawing, playing, and learning. At the end of the night, they got display their beautiful artwork in the adoption lobby. And they took home our special Howl-O-Ween Candy Cards featuring AWLA pets!

RALEIGH IS OUTTA HERE 🥳

We know you've been waiting to read those words since you first met here earlier this year! When we first introduced you to Raleigh, she was recovering from Demodex mange, learning to trust, and figuring the world out for herself. Now called Chickpea, her personality is on full display in a loving home:

"Chickpea (formerly Raleigh) is doing great. She loves the water, digging a hole in the backyard, and chewing up cardboard and plastic bottles. She looooooves the dog park and has a favorite friend along with several others that she likes."

Stories like Chickpea's remind us of the power of second chances and why we work everyday to make sure second chances are possible 💙

Naughty & Nice Pet of the Week 😈 🐾

It's that time of the week again! Here's who's been naughty and nice this week:

🪽 Nice Pet: Sam for being extra rotund and friendly everyday

🥸 Naughty Pet: Denise as she was unable to stop purring long enough for the vet to hear her heartbeat. We forgive her though 💙
