This season on Love is Blind, we're bringing the mystery, the excitement, and the love to AWLA! Join us for a special edition of Love is Blind, where hopeful pet parents and adoptable pets will take center stage in the quest for love. It's more than an adoption event - it's a love story waiting to unfold! Will sparks fly? Can contestants put their trust in our expert matchmakers? Will YOU find true love? Find out if love truly is blind on Thursday, February 15 from 6-8pm! During the event, potential adopters will fill out a special questionnaire to help our matchmakers pair them up with a potential match. If you adopt your match, their adoption fee is FREE! If you choose to adopt another pet, their adoption fee will be 50% off (for pets 6 months+).

Animal Allies Spring Break 1-day Extravaganza

The Animal Allies Spring Break 1-day Extravaganza is a unique opportunity for children aged 10-13 to learn about the positive impact AWLA is making for the animals in our community and how they can make a difference for animals. Campers will join us at the shelter for one long day of fun to learn about different areas within the shelter! Topics include: animal behavior/training, animal control/wildlife, veterinary care, and adoptions/fostering. Our goal is to educate each camper on how to best live harmoniously with animals through a variety of activities that encourage collaboration, creative thinking, and a fun learning experience. Most importantly, campers will interact hands-on with our shelter animals and participate in service projects to make their time at our shelter better.

Camp Date: Tuesday, March 26th
Time: 9am-3:30pm
Location: Animal Welfare League of Arlington Shelter
Price: $125

Pet of the Month

Meet Ginger, an adorable 6-year-old gal who is sure to spice up your life! She's sweet too – a cuddle bug that would love to snuggle up with you on these cold winter evenings. She's done wonderfully in her foster home – and her foster reported no potty accidents! Walks great on the leash and doesn't pull or try to chase birds or squirrels. And when she's done walking, she'll let you know! She's a dog that knows her limits.

Ginger is our current VIP (Very Important Pet) which means her adoption fee is FREE and includes four weeks of training with the GoodPupp app!
