Animal Welfare League of Alexandria kicked off its fall Pets & People Community Wellness events at Four Mile Run Park on Saturday, Sept. 14. It was a great turnout with more than 100 animals in attendance. Participating dogs and cats received free vaccines, microchips, dewormer, preventions, pet supplies, behavioral advice and more.

People in attendance could get a free bag of shelf-stable groceries courtesy of ALIVE! Additional services and goods for humans were also available, along with resources and information on human services.

Many volunteers, including the veterinarians who donated their time and expertise, make these free community events possible.

The next event will be in October. See AWLA’s events calendar on the website. https://alexandriaanimals.org/events/
