Who We Are

The Pet Assistance League of Virginia (PAL) created in 1986, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization. Our mission is to recover; foster; and, when necessary, socially and medically rehabilitate as many homeless and abandoned animals as possible throughout Prince William, Stafford, and Spotsylvania Counties in Virginia for ultimate relocation into permanent, responsible, and loving homes. What we really are is a group of softhearted animal lovers - exactly like you!

Adopting a Friend

Persons interested in adopting fill out an application and undergo a personal interview to discuss qualifications, attitudes concerning pet care, and ability to maintain the pet and comply with the adoption requirements for the life of the animal. Upon approval, an adoption contract is then completed to document understanding of and agreement to all responsibilities with regard to your newest family member.

All animals are current with required shots and immunizations as well as being either spayed or neutered. Dogs have tested negative for heartworm disease and are on preventative. Cats have tested negative for feline leukemia and AIDS. To help defray a small portion of the costs for food, supplies, and medical care while in our foster program, the current adoption fees are $200 and up for a dog (depending on the dog),and $125 for a cat.

Meeting the Animals

Our adoption events are held every Saturday, from 12:00 noon-6:00 p.m., in the Dale City PETsMART located at 13337 Worth Avenue, between Prince William Parkway and Potomac Mills Mall. Click for map.

Hope to see you there!

The first step in the adoption process is filling out an application. You can fill out an application at PETsMART during the adoption event.

Once your application is approved, a home visit will be scheduled. The purpose of this home visit is just to ensure that there is a good match between the potential adopter and the pet. Because of the home visit requirement, PAL is not able to adopt outside of the immediate area.

PAL Sponsor Buddy Program

How many times have we all thought the same thing…"I wish there was something more I could do to help…I wish I could provide a loving home for a PAL animal…BUT…"

You’re heart is definitely in the right place, but circumstances may just be all wrong for you to be a pet parent at this time…but that’s OK…

You can be a PAL Sponsor Buddy!

There are three levels of sponsorship. With your one-time sponsorship donation, you can sponsor the PAL animal of your choice and help PAL provide food, shelter, and veterinary care for these wonderful babies! Fortunately, tons of love and affection come unconditionally and completely expense-free! Contact our PAL Sponsor Buddy Program today at 4PALpets@gmail.com for more information!
Our CFC number this year is 78766.

Donate a BedWe have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.
