Our 2026 Calendar Contest ends at 8 p.m. tonight! All funds raised benefit homeless animals in need while they wait for families. Last year, the contest raised just over $75K. Can we beat that this year? gogophotocontest.com/awlacalendarco…

Look, we get it. July 4th really sucks for animals -- domestic and wild. 👎 But some people just really enjoy blowing stuff up. You can always report animal emergencies in the city of Alexandria by calling 703-746-4444. #alexanimals #alexandriava #fourthofjuly
