Animal Welfare League of Alexandria 2022 Annual Report

Thanks to the kindness of our donors, we helped thousands of animals in 2022. Here are just a few of their stories...

Perfect pets for perfect adopters 5-year-old Ramone came to the AWLA after both of his eyes had been removed due to an infection. He was understandably nervous in his new unfamiliar environment, but the AWLA team helped Ramone as he adjusted to his new disability. Soon, he was more comfortable around new people and met the perfect adopter, who had experience with blind dogs, and was able to help him feel equally as comfortable in his new home environment.

Setting our families up for success When our veterinary team saw that Paxton was having a harder time compared to his siblings, they knew something was wrong. He was diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition that is caused by improper development of the cerebellum in the womb. Our team set him up for success in a foster home where he could work on his balance. Soon after, he was adopted by a family who received all the information and support they needed to help Paxton grow into a happy, healthy adult.
