MISSION: The Pet Assistance League (PAL) is a non-profit organization that helps find homes for displaced and abandoned animals, primarily cats and dogs. Founded in 1986, the league has helped thousands of animals find permanent homes with caring families.

PAL volunteers provide adoption services through the PETsMART store located in Prince William County, near the Potomac Mills shopping center. The volunteers bring adoptable pets looking for new homes to the store each Saturday from noon to six throughout the year. As well, a Luv-A-Pet adoption center is found in the store where cats and kittens may be adopted throughout the year.
