The Washington Animal Rescue League held their Rescue me Gala on Saturday at Union Station. WARL’s mission is to promote the welfare of companion animals and support the people who love them through animal rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and affordable veterinary care.

Guests were greeted with bow ties and neck ties for their four legged companions. I attended the event with my Maltese, Lacy.

We enjoyed passed snacks for both canines and humans as well as several food stations with many mouth watering treats. The silent auction had something for everyone and the bid sheets filled up fast.

I ran into Pup-a-roo (a Barkley Square regular) and his Mom Brandy Jones and got to meet several of the WARL volunteers, dogs they have given forever homes to and a few of the dogs up for adoption (which I will feature as adoptable pets of the week!)
