The Pet Photo Calendar Contest is a way to showcase your favorite animal companion while supporting those animals who are waiting for a home of their own. Each year, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria produces a full color calendar and allows supporters to decide the next ‘top models’ for pet of the month and the coveted cover shot. You …
Puppy Peking
7/14/14 Update: You all have helped raise the funds needed for us to schedule Peking’s life saving heart surgery!

Mr. WIlson (Now “Rex”)
