Does the Animal Welfare League of Arlington do anything to help people keep their pets and not have to surrender them?
Yes. We provide many services to help people keep their pets. We have eight low-cost rabies clinics each year. Our behavior helpline is available to anyone who needs advice on behavior issues. Dog obedience classes are offered at the Arlington animal shelter. We have low-cost spay/neuter and veterinary care assistance for people on limited incomes. Residents of Arlington and the City of Falls Church who are experiencing a crisis can bring a pet into our safekeeping program for free temporary care. Our humane education staff and animal control officers are available to speak at schools and community groups. Plus, there is information (and we are constantly adding more) on our Web site on pet care and behavior.
