Rockbridge Animal Alliance (RAA) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization to help the animals in Rockbridge County, Lexington, and Buena Vista through a variety of projects. We are excited to work alongside other local nonprofit groups in our community that are as committed as we are to improving the quality of life for animals in our community and decreasing the numbers of animals that are ending up at the shelter.
Check out our events page for the upcoming health and wellness activities for your pets as well as upcoming fundraisers to support animals in the community.

"[M]y colleague Rachel Gutman launched into a tribute to her childhood cat K.C., who terrorized everyone but her immediate family members and, for some reason, Carmine the electrician. He’d bite anyone who dared to pet him. He’d attack her grandfather’s ankles. He’d pee in her grandmother’s bed when she came to visit.
