Make the earth cleaner while making money for the animals!
Pleasestart saving your pet food cans, and anything else that's metal, such as old cars, Christmas tree light strands, shovel heads, etc. High Tech Recycling just south of Moyock on Hwy. 168, will take them and, if you will let them know that it is for the Animal Lovers Assistance League, send us a check, including a little bonus above the going rate. They are open 8:00 am-4:15 pm, Mon. - Saturday. Please tell your neighbors and friends, including those on facebook.
Procedure for pet food cans:
> remove the labels as much as possible
> rinse them out
> Separate the cat food cans, which are aluminum, from the dog food cans, which are mostly steel, and put them into separate clear plastic bags. Aluminum pays better than steel.
> Take to High Tech Recycling. Tell them that they are a donation for the Animal Shelter or ALAL. If that is not convenient, bring the bags to the shelter. If the shelter is not open but will be opening a bit later, you can leave the bags of cans on the side near the parking lot.
Bring your cartridges, or any other things to Peck Basket in SLIGO.
Take your junk cars to them and give the shelter the money by just telling them to credit us for it. Old lawn mowers, anything metal, etc.
BRICKS and TILES HONOR CHERISHED LOVED ONES
Many of us have loved ones, current and departed, human and pet, whom we would like to honor and keep as a cherished part of our lives while helping make the lives better for the most needy and helpless among us, our animals.
With the purchase of a paving brick or a custom hand-painted ceramic tile of your pet you can do exactly that. The paving bricks will be integrated into thw paved walkways of the new animal shelter and that the hand-painted ceramic tiles will be hung in prominent locations inside of the building.

Adopt Your New Best Friend!
Hope is representative of the many beautiful and sweet pets available at the Currituck Animal Shelter who are wishing for new homes and families for the holidays. Come select an adoring pet with whom to share your life and your home.
Our animals are: Current on their vaccinations (including rabies, if old enough), spayed/neutered (or come with a voucher for this if they are too young), microchipped, current heartworm test, and come with 30 days of free pet insurance! All of this for:
$89 for dogs
$55 for cats
We often run adoption specials to help our animals find fur-ever homes. Currently we are having a 2 for 1 cat adoption special due to kitten season being in full swing. Also, several of our animals adoption fee have been waived for qualified applicants under our Free at Six program. What a bargain! Tell your friends and family! Come adopt!
Can't Commit to Adopting? BE A FOSTER PARENT!
Providing a temporary foster home saves lives. Animals that enter our shelter often need a quiet home to recooperate from illness and/or injury, are pregnant and/or nursing mothers, or need some special socialization and TLC. Fostering a dog may seem like a monumentous task, but it's a very substantial way to make a difference. Everyone benefits: The foster family gets to spend time with a special dog or cat, and the shelter is able to make space for another animal. The foster animal gets a break from shelter life and has a chance at becoming a cherished pet. Once adopted (by the foster family or by a new family), the new owners get an animal that is better adapted to home life, and therefore has a better chance of remaining in the new home permanently.
Make a Difference, be an ALAL Volunteer!
We are always looking for volunteers to give our animals some exercise and TLC.Volunteers can make a dog's day just by taking him for a walk or play with a kitty to make her more socialized. You'll get a real satisfaction in knowing that you made a difference for an animal who needed you, and is more adoptable because of you. If you are interested in volunteering, please come by the shelter during our hours of opperation.
In Need of Donations
Our medical funds are running low due to several animals in our care recently in need of immediate emergency veternary care. We try to care for them all as best we can, but your donations make that possible. Please considering donating to the shelter, sponsoring one of our pets, or attending one of our fundraising functions. If you are a buisness and would like a donation jar to help the shelter, please give us a call and we will get one for you.
How You Can Help
We Depend On Our Community!
The Animal Lovers Assistance League is a volunteer organization that depends upon the support of the community to help us operate the Currituck County Animal Shelter.Without the help of citizens, civic-minded business leaders and the support of the community we serve, we could not perform the services we deliver to the people and animals of Currituck County.
There are many ways that you can help
We can always use donations of pet supplies (pet food, cat litter, etc.), animal caregivers as well as financial support and building materials or tradesmen to help us improve our shelter.
