Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

Since 1946, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has served as a community resource and a safe haven for animals.

To inspire compassion for all living things, to provide shelter for animals in need, and to promote adoptions, animal welfare and responsible pet ownership in our community.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is an independent, local, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Operating the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter, an open-admission facility and Alexandria’s only animal shelter, the League touches the lives of more than 6000 animals every year, including strays, lost pets, local wildlife, rescue animals, and animals surrendered by their owners. The AWLA is committed to addressing animal homelessness, promoting animal welfare, and serving as an educational resource for the community. More information is at www.AlexandriaAnimals.org
