The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) serves the Arlington community with animal sheltering and control services to help pet owners keep their animals healthy, happy, and home. AWLA provides ‘go bags’ to foster families and community members to keep their pets happy and healthy.
Join us for a Listen & Learn to hear about AWLA’s lifesaving work and how we use Go Bags to support pet parents and Fosters. Volunteers can help assemble these bags with supplies, treats, and enrichment items or pick up food to be given out to the community as part of our Pet Pantry. Pick your favorite type of Go Bag and head over to local pet stores (or us) to find each item. Once you have all the items drop off your assembled bag or food item in the MLK donation bin at AWLA between Tuesday January 20th and Friday January 23rd during our open hours from 12-7pm!
