A Toast to 80 years!

Join us as we celebrate 80 years of serving pets and people in Alexandria and beyond. Together, we'll honor the lives we've touched, the communities we've strengthened, and the animals who have found safety through our work. Be part of this special evening of celebration and inspiration as we embark on the next chapter of lifesaving.

Guests will enjoy an evening with heavy cocktail-style hors d'ouevres; beer, wine, and select signature cocktails; wonderful animal-loving company; a look back at 80 years of AWLA; adoptable animals to cuddle; fun experiences; and more. It’s a celebration with something for everyone, especially those who believe life is better with animals in it! Find some frequently asked questions below.
