Help the Arlington County Fire Department help animals in need by participating in Operation FirePaws, a pet supply drive benefiting the AWLA. Firefighters are collecting non-perishable items from the AWLA’s wish list at all fire stations during the month of August.
Canned food, collars, toys and even some office supplies are needed. The AWLA has requested no milk bones, boxed hard treats, or homemade treats.
Through Operation FirePaws last year, community members donated more than 600 pounds of pet supplies to the AWLA. The goal this year is to surpass that amount with 650 pounds.
Pet safety tips and profiles of adoptable pets at the AWLA will also be featured throughout the month on the fire department’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
