Alexandria Shelter Walk for Homeless Animals
Event Date
Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 9:00am - 11:00am
Event Location
Market Square in Old Town
301 King Street
Alexandria, VA 22314
The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) will host the first-ever Alexandria Shelter Walk for Homeless Animals. The new event will raise awareness about pet overpopulation in Alexandria and surrounding areas, and the thousands of homeless animals the AWLA cares for each year until they find permanent homes. The Walk will also raise critical funds to support the many AWLA programs that combat animal homelessness, promote responsible pet car, and match a variety of shelter animals with loving adopters. The 1.5 mile walk begins at Market Square in historic Old Town Alexandria and walkers will stroll through neighborhoods once walked by George Washington. Visit www.AlexandriaAnimals.org/Walk for more information.

On Tuesday September 4th, the transformation of one of Community Lodgings’ five apartment buildings will begin – a full-fledged renovation! When I took over as Executive Director seven years ago, I set a long-term goal to ensure all our families lived in safe, comfortable homes. Over the years, out of sheer financial necessity, I was forced to take a “band-aid” approach to building repairs. Seven years later, with help from HomeAid Northern Virginia, Pulte Homes and the City of Alexandria, our long-term goal becomes reality. Code for Alexandria!
