Clear It Forward

Home / Clear It Forward
Clear the Shelters 2019Not everyone can adopt, but everyone CAN be a superhero on August 17 to help the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria Clear the Shelters!

On August 17, the AWLA is proud to once again team up with NBC4 and Telemundo44 to take part in the nationwide Clear the Shelters adoption event.  On this momentous day, we will waive fees for all adoptable animals to find families for as many pets as possible!

But to care for pets all year long, we need your help!  Adoption fees cover a variety of costs here at the shelter, from food and shelter to veterinary costs and special medications.  We are waiving these costs on August 17 to Clear the Shelter, but you can make a pledge today to Clear It Forward so we are able to provide this love and attention to all of Alexandria’s Animals, every day of the year.  Why Clear It Forward?

Now’s the time to make a difference.  Make your pledge today!

Please note that the Clear It Forward pledge period has closed.  If you would like to make a donation to help animals in need, you can always do so online or call us at 703-746-4774.
