Welcome

The Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, (RAWL) is a rescue based in Rappahannock County, Virginia.  RAWL is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that manages the daily operations of the Rappahannock County animal shelter. Partial funding is provided by Rappahannock County, but the majority comes from people like you who love animals!

We provide an energetic adoption program that finds loving homes for the dogs in our care.  We seek to rehabilitate and adopt every dog.  We also have regular rabies clinics and a low-cost spay and neuter program. 

RAWL has made a deep and abiding commitment to saving pet lives, and we depend on your donations to fulfill our mission!
