Howl-O-Ween also marked the release of our photo calendar, featuring Alexandria’s Animal of 2019 Crandon and more than 150 of Alexandria’s cutest animals.  Calendars are now available for purchase at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and you can stop by during business hours to pick one up for yourself as well as all the friends and family on your shopping list.  Calendars are $15 each or 2 for $20, and all proceeds support the AWLA.
