Ringworm doesn't have to be a dealbreaker in fostering 🐾

Sometimes, we see meet pets that need a little extra TLC to heal up as best they can. This is especially true of pets with ringworm! Treatment time of ringworm can be cut in half when it's carried out in a foster home. That means they'll find loving homes through adoption even faster!

Fostering a ringworm pet through AWLA means we'll provide all of the veterinary care, food, supplies, and training/support you need. If you have the room in your home, heart, and an open mind, we want to hear from you 💙

Naughty & Nice Pet of the Week 😈 🐾

It's that time of the week again! Here's who's been naughty and nice this week:

🪽 Nice Pet: Molly for receiving raving reviews from her foster, Alyssa, her temporary foster, and all the people she and Alyssa have met!

🥸 Naughty Pet: Pipsqueak for stealing the lettuce we were so diligently preparing for her. Now, imagine if she had thumbs!

Blessing your timeline with raccoon ASMR 🔊

🦝 Raccoons are one of the many wild neighbors here in Arlington and one of the many types of wildlife we see through our Wildlife Resource Center.

Our friends at Read Early and Daily (READ) are now Arlington County's Imagination Library Partner! Children across Arlington County can receive free books up until age 5 through the Imagination Library. In celebration, READ welcomed our team to hand-select books for new storytime program: Tails & Tots! We also got to post with a Dolly Parton cutout and we were so stoked 🥳

Our Tails & Tots Program is a 30-minute storytime for children 5 years old and under. Each Tails & Tots storytime will feature new animal-themed stories and songs that get young readers excited to learn.

Signups for our first storytime on October 20, 2026 are open now 👇

It's that time of the week again! Here's who's been naughty and nice this week:

🪽 Nice Pet: Joseph for not nibbling on any of the kiddos' pant legs during Animal Allies this week! We rewarded him handsomely with cilantro.
