Our Partners

Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides pet adoption in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland. We find homes for dogs and cats rescued from low-income, rural animal shelters or whose owners can no longer care for them.

The building at 2470 Mandeville Ln. Alexandria, VA, was formerly the USGSA building before being reimagined and upcycled into our brand-new pet-friendly apartment community, The Foundry, located in Alexandria’s Carlyle District, near D.C, and just minutes to Old Town.

Since 1946, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) has been a resource for our community and a shelter for homeless animals. Through adoptions, spay and neuter assistance, education, community service and outreach, the AWLA plays a key role in promoting responsible pet care across Northern Virginia.
