Rappahannock Animal Welfare League

Patti, Marie, and team are incredible people with the important mission of matching dogs to their forever homes. They provide exceptional care to all the dogs within their shelter, while being able to find of dog that will match well in a home… not to mention the shelter is incredibly clean! I am so lucky to have had my doggy come from people who are passionate about their mission. I’m the luckiest because they matched me with my best bud.

Patti and the rest of her crew are not only awesome but are doing a great cause trying to get these fur babies into their forever homes. They give you as much info as possible that they know about the puppy/ dog. I found their facility clean and organized. We just adopted Dokota (Avery). She’s settling in awesomely .. A great experience the almost 2 hour drive was well worth it!!

Patti is awesome, very detailed. She makes sure the animals are put in the best home. Cleanest shelter I've ever been to. They Rock!! Adopted a great dog!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the RAWL rescue! Patti and Marie are so devoted and dedicated to providing the best care for all these babies in need of homes! They work at finding the best home for each dogs individual needs and the family looking to adopt needs. We have Three RAWL pups and I know we will be adopting more from RAWL in the future!❤️💕

My husband and I agreed it was the right time to add a puppy to the family. After searching mostly around Virginia, we came across an adorable puppy online. Filled out an application and sent it in online and crossed out fingers. I was contacted to schedule a meet and greet. The staff at this facility is not only inviting and very nice, but they truly care for their animals. I couldn’t respect what they do at this rescue more. Our puppy (whom we haven’t settled on a name yet) is settling in right at home. She was spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped, and sent home with a collar, leash, and fluffy dog bed. She even gave us a towel for the ride home just in case of an accident. I will 100% recommend this rescue to anyone who is looking into rescuing a dog. Thank you all!! Thank you
