Pet Adoption Fees Waived On Clear The Shelter Day In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Families looking to adopt a furry friend have no better time to go for it than Clear the Shelter Day. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria will waive adoption fees for all animals for the fourth annual event on Saturday, Aug. 18.

The organization, which takes in animals needing shelter and finds them homes, will open early at 11 a.m. to accommodate potential adopters. The shelter will be open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Nearly 70 animals found homes during last year's event. AWLA expects to have rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and of course dogs and cats available this year. See all of the animals available for adoption and learn about the adoption process.

If you can't make it to the event, AWLA is asking for donations to help defray the costs of medical treatment, food, microchipping for the animals and more. These donations also help to "clear the shelter."

AWLA is located at 4101 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria.
