Celebrating the All-American Dog this Independence Day | Community Spirit

The Richmond Animal League is celebrating the "All-American dog" this Independence Day--the mighty mutt! Visit the Richmond Animal League the week of July 1 through July 7 and learn some more about a few very special mixed breed pups, and enjoy a reduced adoption fee on those dogs participating in the event.

There are plenty of reasons to consider going for a mixed breed pup rather than a purebred when thinking about adding a new furry member to your family--mixed breed dogs can be healthier and more intelligent than purebred dogs, and you'll get the added benefit of a dog who's totally unique in looks and personality!

The Richmond Animal League is open to the public for adoptions from 4:30 to 8:00pm Tuesday through Friday, and 12:00 to 4:00pm Saturday and Sunday. Find out more about them on their website, www.ral.org, or email adopt@ral.org for more information. The shelter is located at 11401 International Drive, Richmond, VA, 23236.
