The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is participating in the annual Clear the Shelters event again this year, helping residents adopt pets in need free of charge.
"In an effort to find more homes for shelter animals across the country, adoption fees will be waived for ALL adoptable animals at the AWLA during this epic, nationwide adoption event," according to the AWLA.
With a superhero theme this year, the AWLA will open its doors at 11 a.m. to accommodate the additional visitors who are racing faster than a speeding bullet to meet their new furry friends.
To make the event fun for the whole family, the AWLA will be hosting a tent with activities for superheroes of all ages, as well as a yard sale with discounted pet supplies, a bake sale with sweet treats and more.
Donations from these events will benefit the shelter. And all participants are invited to don their best superhero gear as they visit the AWLA to meet their new best friend.
Attendees should note that the waiting line for the event will be outdoors and to plan accordingly.
