The clinic is indoors in the AWLA Education Room. Waiting is outside, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
If you want a three-year rabies shot, you must bring proof of prior rabies shot (vet records or rabies certificates only, or dog licenses only, tags do not count).
Distemper shots are based on the age, and vaccine history of each pet. If you do not bring proof your pet has received this vaccine before and is not past due, they will need a booster in 2-4 weeks.

Additional Information About Rabies Vaccinations
Virginia law requires that all dogs and cats four months of age and older have a current rabies vaccine.

All dogs must be on leashes and cats must be in carriers.
Additional Information About Microchipping
Give your pet the protection of a 24PetWatch MiniChip. Each year thousands of lost and abandoned animals are taken in by shelters and humane societies across the country. Some of these animals never make it home because they cannot be identified. Microchipping offers the only truly permanent method of identifying your pet and linking the animal back to you, the owner.

Home for the Holidays
2024-12-07 12:00 - 2024-12-23 19:00
Home for the Holidays is back and the shelter is under construction!
If you’re staying in town for the holiday season and have extra room in your home, you can foster a dog, cat, or small companion animal and give them a much-deserved break from their kennels over the holidays! We’re preparing for construction and need your help to get as many animals as possible into temporary foster homes.

Basic supplies will be provided by the shelter – please see the list below.
Foster families must be able to pick up a pet at the shelter between Dec 7-23, and be able to keep them in their home until at least Jan 12.
Foster families must live in Virginia, Maryland, or D.C., and cannot travel out of the area with their foster pets.
Foster families must follow all rules and guidelines of our foster program.
Foster families will be matched up with a pet on a first-come, first-match basis, and we cannot guarantee every family interested in taking part will be able to foster a pet.

If you are interested in fostering a pet during our Home for the Holidays event, please visit the shelter on a day you can bring home a foster pet to be matched up with a pet. AWLA cannot guarantee a foster placement.
If you choose to adopt your foster pet at the end of the foster period, you’ll get 50% off your adoption fee!
AWLA will provide:
Dogs: food, leash, harness.
Cats: food, bowls, litter box, litter, bed, toys.
Small companion animals: enclosure, food, hay and CareFresh bedding (fosters will need to refill these themselves), litter box, enrichment items, bowls.
Due to our current supply inventory, all other items must be purchased by the foster family.

More Info About Vaccines & Microchips

Rabies Vaccines
Rabies is a fatal disease that affects both pets and people, but it is entirely preventable with vaccination. Virginia law requires that all dogs and cats four months of age and older have a current rabies vaccine.

Distemper Vaccines
The DHPP vaccine – Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus – is commonly referred to as the distemper vaccine. It is a combo vaccine that protects against all four of the diseases in its name.

Microchips
A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that provides permanent identification for your pet. It is implanted under the skin and contains a unique ID number that can be scanned by a vet or shelter. This number is linked to your contact information, helping reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost.

More Info About Vaccines & Microchips

Rabies Vaccines
Rabies is a fatal disease that affects both pets and people, but it is entirely preventable with vaccination. Virginia law requires that all dogs and cats four months of age and older have a current rabies vaccine.

Distemper Vaccines
The DHPP vaccine – Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus – is commonly referred to as the distemper vaccine. It is a combo vaccine that protects against all four of the diseases in its name.

Microchips
A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that provides permanent identification for your pet. It is implanted under the skin and contains a unique ID number that can be scanned by a vet or shelter. This number is linked to your contact information, helping reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost.
