AWLA believes in expanding our community to other animal shelters to share information, resources and support. AWLA facilitates the national capital regional animal shelter collaborative. A network of animal shelters in the national capital region, hosting group trainings on essential topics such as wildlife, customer service and veterinary care. AWLA also works closely with several other shelters in Virginia, serving as a committed partner to these shelters that lack resources. We transferred in 679 animals from other shelters. 7 7 61 61 0 0 2440556 2407269 1593557 1671697 466266 644753 4196 4505 4504575 4728224 0 0 0 0 2782354 3019084 0 0 487215 1005401 1064135 3787755 4083219 716820 645005 9434117 10475908 341004 383877 9093113 10092031 X The mission of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is to inspire compassion for all living things, to provide shelter to animals in need, and to promote adoptions, animal welfare, and responsible pet ownership. Our belief that all animals deserve love and care, and that supporting people AND pets enriches our community, is the motivation that fuels our mission. 0 0 1507871 ANIMAL CARE: In FY25, we cared for 2,386 animals (1201 cats, 981 dogs, 204 small animals), and providing their daily care was our largest expense. Our team of shelter volunteers assisted AWLA staff to provide top-level care for every animal at the shelter. In FY25, shelter volunteers donated 23,094 hours to the AWLA, roughly equivalent to 11 full-time employees. These volunteers performed a range of tasks, including helping with laundry and dishes; walking dogs; staffing events; cleaning animal enclosures; maintaining the yards and landscaping; cleaning carriers; transporting animals to vet appointments; stocking supplies; socializing cats, feeding animals and helping at events. Volunteers also donated their time from home, helping our organization administratively as well as with enrichment activities for animals.To expand our sheltering capability and provide a unique, home-like environment for animals who might not thrive in the shelter (including newborn and sick or injured animals), we also coordinated a team of more than 100 volunteer foster providers to care for 369 animals in their homes in FY25. The AWLA strives to find placement for every animal that can safely and humanely be rehomed, and in FY25, we found placement for 96% of the pets in our care. To achieve this goal, our staff and volunteers went above and beyond to assist animals in our custody, focusing on animals' health, behavior, enrichment and more to provide them with the best care on their way to finding new homes. We also continue to work closely with other regional shelters and rescues in areas that may not have the same resources as ours, transferring animals to our facility to help those organizations with overpopulation and to increase our combined life-saving efforts. In FY25, we brought in 504 animals from several shelters and rescues in Virginia, as well as West Virginia, Maryland, and Florida. Many of the animals that come to us have health issues ranging from fairly minor to extremely serious, including infections, bone breaks/fractures, heart problems, diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Our shelter veterinarian is responsible for examining the animals at the shelter and determining how to best meet each of their medical needs. In FY25, 329 animals with major medical concerns were treated by the AWLA. 668116 1326648 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS: In FY25 we expanded our efforts to provide support to pet owners, so no one would need to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender a beloved pet for financial reasons. Through our Community Pet Pantry, we distributed over 65,000 pounds of pet food and supplies supporting more than 3,500 pets, and more than 51,000 meals were provided to the pets of senior/housebound pet owners through our AniMeals program. Our Spay and Neuter Assistance program 523 vouchers for this life-changing surgery, helping to control the population of homeless animals and prevent unexpected litters that might lead to animal surrender. Additionally, 1,742 vaccinations and 380 microchips were provided to pets across the community. And the AWLA's Crisis Care program continued to provide limited-term boarding for pets whose owners are undergoing emergencies like loss of housing or hospital stays. Through these programs, we help countless animals in our community stay where they belong -- in homes where they are loved. 507251 349554 ADOPTIONS AND SUPPORT SERVICES: In FY25, the AWLA administered 1457 adoptions, including dogs and cats but also rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, and even sugar gliders. We expanded our efforts to make sure all adopters are receiving the level of follow-up support they need in case they have any behavioral or medical questions about their new pet, and our Behavior Hotline has offered guidance to dozens of pet owners to help overcome issues that might otherwise lead to the surrender of a pet. In FY25, our total number of in shelter training sessions was more than 10,000. Additionally, we continued the Alexandria Animal Academy, a virtual training program assisting dog guardians with common training issues helping ~ 50 community members. 537924 ANIMAL SERVICES: Residents made 3251 calls for assistance for animal-related issues in the City of Alexandria in FY25, including 322 calls about animal bites, 172 calls about possible abuse and/or neglect, 1338 wildlife-related calls and 445 calls about stray animals, as well as others. As first responders, our Animal Services officers rescue animals, transport injured/sick animals for veterinary care, provide support to pet owners in need across Alexandria and educate the public about living humanely with wildlife and proper treatment of animals. 537924 3221162 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 61 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 VA X X The Organization 7037465652 4101 Eisenhower Avenue Alexandria VA 22312 Julie Conway Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Mann Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Fiske Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Louise Salas Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura MacLean Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Davis Vice Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzanne Goulden Chair 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Stella Hanly Executive Director 40.00 X 193193 0 7754 Anthony Rankin Chief Operating Officer & 40.00 X 119530 0 5087 Megan Hess Director of Engagement 40.00 X 131920 0 5283 Elsa Sanchez Director of Finance 40.00 X 124070 0 3907 568713 0 22031 4 0 1 0 0 2407269 67004 2407269 Shelter contract 541900 1326648 1326648 Adoptions and educatio 541900 345049 345049 1671697 583398 583398 730129 665975 2799 64154 -2799 61355 61355 13071 8566 4505 4505 4728224 1676202 0 644753 204273 163419 20427 20427 2268996 1867060 176306 225630 75571 62212 5845 7514 287646 236168 22862 28616 182598 149919 14513 18166 250 207 26 17 30189 25041 3153 1995 38697 38697 65652 51788 9649 4215 753 208 545 14148 6552 7050 546 12112 7449 762 3901 28107 23125 1020 3962 4309 2993 1316 9948 5723 2379 1846 60551 60551 36349 32312 2583 1454 Animal-related expenses 440530 440493 37 Direct mail 110000 32077 77923 Event and program costs 45435 13747 31688 Bank, credit card and p 37396 12979 1185 23232 129709 87690 7834 34185 4083219 3221162 374842 487215 X 110000 32077 0 77923 39932 326147 517 643 12723 2459 1510 16608 16494 480669 285874 148240 194795 9206736 9929833 6902 6486 9434117 10475908 285749 342277 55255 41600 341004 383877 X 8815653 9704830 277460 387201 9093113 10092031 9434117 10475908 645005 353913 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 11893136 2553635 1410245 2440556 2416320 20713892 11893136 2553635 1410245 2440556 2416320 20713892 256523 20457369 295328 440193 313815 393907 583398 2026641 22740533 7803912 0.89960 0.90300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 6902 -416 6486 7258 -356 6902 8123 -865 7258 9652 -1529 8123 9448 204 9652 1.00000 1 0 124323 45864 78459 111287 77557 33730 245059 162453 82606 194795 X 5078798 353913 35358 389271 4689527 38697 38697 4728224 4079880 35358 35358 4044522 38697 38697 4083219 Part V, Line 4: Perpetually restricted net assets consist of a beneficial interest in a trust controlled by a third party as a permanent endowment fund. Under the terms of the trust agreement, AWLA will never receive the trust's assets but will receive annual disbursements of the net income generated by the fund. Part X, Line 2: The following was disclosed related to uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. AWLA is exempt from federal income tax as a non-profit organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation. AWLA did not have a liability for unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The material jurisdictions subject to potential examination by taxing authorities include the U.S. and Virginia. The Board does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any future examinations of open tax years will have a material impact on AWLA's results of operations. Tax years that remain subject to examination by the IRS are fiscal years 2022 through 2025.
