Cheers for Animals!

On March 13, the brewers of Shirlington's Capitol City Brewing Company showed what good neighbors and animal lovers they are by collecting donations for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in lieu of tips! In addition to the servers' generosity, the company matched the donations and even added a little extra!

The next week two of our friends at Capital City delivered a check for $750 to help the animals! We'll drink to that!

The Luck of the Arlington Shelter

This St Patty's Day weekend, the residents of the Arlington Animal Shelter are reminded of how lucky they are to have such great supporters! On Friday night, the brewers of Shirlington's Capitol City Brewing Company will be collecting donations for the shelter in lieu of tips! And if that's not generous enough, at the end of the night, all donations will be matched by the Capitol City Brewing Company! 

70 Animals Neutered for $25 Each

Staff wears their Spay Day t-shirts to welcome pet owners on Friday morning.

We have had a fantastic response to our Spay Day offer of spaying/neutering cats and dogs for $25 plus getting a free microchip. Low-income owners of 70 pets in our community have taken advantage of this opportunity to protect their pets' health and prevent unwanted litters!

The League is subsidizing the cost of the surgeries and we are providing the microchips for free. We are lucky to have the National Capital Spay Neuter Center and Fairfax Animal Hospital as our partners in this vital community service. The funds for subsidizing the surgeries comes from our Hantke Memorial Spay Neuter Fund.

Last Friday at 6:30am we loaded up 30 animals in our van and drove them to the Spay Neuter Center. By 9:00pm that night all of the pets had been returned to their owners newly neutered and microchipped. We're doing it again this Friday! We had so much interest in the program that several other pets will be getting the same services at Fairfax Animal Hospital.

While we offer low-cost neutering all year round, this special applies only to our participation in Spay Day. It's great to see so many loved companions getting such a needed service.
