Evidence shows interacting with pets can have a profound effect on us. Simply petting a friendly animal can change our oxytocin and beta endorphin levels, which can reduce our overall stress. So, if you are looking for a pet that will surely steal your heart—and maybe a slipper or two—then contact your local shelter. If you happen to be the Alexandria, VA area, give Gina and Stella a visit at the AWLA. They will be happy to help you find the perfect pet who will bring more love and happiness into your life than you could ever image.

If aren’t ready to adopt a pet, you can still help an animal in need by making a cash donation, offering to foster an animal or volunteering your time and unique skillset.
