The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria hosted this year’s highly anticipated Paws in the Park pet festival at Oronoco Park in Old Town. The event, sponsored by Amazon, was a huge success. It featured a wide array of adoptable animals, a lively costume contest, a silent auction, and a delightful selection of food, drinks, and music. It was a day filled with joy and the opportunity to find forever homes for so many furry friends.
