Join the Walk of the Century

We’re looking for 1,000 people to walk 100 miles each this year—all to benefit the APA Adoption Center. Raise money, win swag and help bring pets and people together. It’s an awesome way to get involved and celebrate the 100th birthday of the APA!

Making a difference in your back yard

One adoption can have a ripple effect. Not only does a pet have a new home, but it opens space for another. This continuous cycle of betterment informs a spectrum of programs.

Alongside regular adoption services, APA provides temporary care to the pets of those experiencing domestic violence. We deliver therapy animals to senior living communities. And we offer free spay and neuter services for low-income people, while maintaining a fund to help lower their unexpected veterinary bills.

We’re always looking for ways to improve the lives of pets and their people.
