UPDATE: 44 animals found new homes during our “It’s Raining Cats and Dogs!” promotion! Thank you to everyone who came out to adopt a pet!

As the DC Metro area gears up for Hurricane Joaquin this weekend, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is dealing with a different kind of flood: Dogs and cats!

To help find our adoptable animals homes and make room for other animals in need, we’re waiving adoption fees on all dogs and cats October 1st through October 4th. Come find a furry friend to snuggle up with during this weekend’s storms! What could be better than a rainy day with a warm dog or cat on your lap?!

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is located at 4101 Eisenhower Ave. in Alexandria, and you can come meet our amazing adoptable pets from 9am to 7pm Friday and Thursday and this weekend from 12pm to 5pm.
