AWLA offers rabies vaccines, distemper vaccines (DAPPv for dogs and HCPCh for cats), and microchips for cats and dogs.

Rabies shots are $15, distemper shots are free, and microchips are $35.

NO CASH, card payment only.
All humans must wear a mask at all times and maintain an appropriate distance of at least 6 feet in all situations.
If you arrive after your designated time, you will lose your spot.
All dogs must be on a leash, and all cats in carriers. Retractable leashes are not allowed.
If your pet is reactive to humans or other animals, please do not sign up for this clinic. We ask that you seek advice from a veterinarian.
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.
We do not offer 3 year distemper shots.

All paperwork for this clinic will be done at the clinic.
Additional Information About Rabies Vaccinations
Virginia law requires that all dogs and cats four months of age and older have a current rabies vaccine. Please bring proof of a prior rabies shot (a rabies certificate, not a tag) to get a three-year rabies shot. Without it, your pet will receive a one-year shot. 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
2023-12-20 16:00 - 2023-12-23 19:00 | VA
Home for the Holidays is back for 2023!
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!

Some basic supplies will be provided by the shelter – please see the list below – but due to our current supply inventory, other items will need to be purchased by the foster family.
Foster families must be able to pick up a pet at the shelter from Dec 20-23, and be able to keep them in their home until at least Jan 5.
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 fill out the form below, and then come to the shelter on your chosen date to be matched up with a pet. Filling out the form does not 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.

Keep Your Pet Safe with an Up-to-Date Microchip!
Join us at AWLA on Thursday, August 15, from 5:30 – 6:30 pm for a special event focused on keeping your pet safe and secure. We’ll be offering FREE microchip scans for both dogs and cats. If your pet already has a microchip, we’ll register it for free to ensure all your current contact information is up-to-date.
If your pet is not yet microchipped, don’t worry! You’ll receive a coupon for a discounted microchipping service at one of our upcoming clinics. Plus, we’ll be offering free nail trims for dogs and cats* during the event.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your pet’s safety and well-being!

*Limited availability, first come, first served. AWLA reserves the right to refuse service if the pet is too fearful or uncomfortable for the service.
What is a microchip? According to the Humane Society of the United States, “microchips are tiny transponders, about the size of a grain of rice, that can be implanted under your pet’s skin. A microchip isn’t the same as a GPS device, and it can’t be used to track your pet’s whereabouts. It’s simply a unique identifier (think of it as your pet’s social security number) that is implanted so it can’t be lost. Microchips provide an extra level of protection in case your pet loses their collar or tags. Studies show that pets with chips are much more likely to be returned to their owners than those who lack one.”
