We are thrilled to announce the 1st Virginia Week for the Animals presented by Animal World USA will kick off in April 2010.
See our Calendar of Events page for events taking place across Virginia during this truly amazing Week for the Animals.
Throughout the week, educational institutions, animal shelters, rescue groups, and humane organizations across the state will be hosting scores of wonderful animal-related special events. Educators, students, businesses and caring citizens across Virginia will be joining in, creating and planning their exciting activities to celebrate and help animals.
Events will include adoption fairs, spay/neuter awareness events, shelter beautification days, R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries, walks for the farm animals and therapy dogs visiting hospitals and nursing homes.
Also to be included are a salute to our canine military and police dogs, feral cat initiatives, animal law events, educational programs at the zoos, blessings for the animals, and full-filled festival days for families to come and enjoy food, music and the always amazing animals!
Please become involved! Events are being planned now, and we need animal lovers everywhere in Virginia to start planning so we can all collectively participate! See the page "Become Involved" on this website for lots of great ideas and suggestions on what you can do.
