July 26 is an extra special day at the APA! It’s our 104th birthday and National BOOP Your Pet Day—and we’re marking the occasion with the thing we love most: helping pets find loving homes.

What’s a birthday without presents? To support the thousands of pets who come through our doors each year, we’re asking for your generosity to help make their biggest wish come true: a loving home to call their own.

This year, we’re hoping to raise $20,000 in just one day—and thanks to our friends Tito's Handmade Vodka, your gift can go twice as far. They’ll be matching the first $5,000 in donations!

Your contribution, no matter the size, is a birthday gift that truly matters. It helps provide medical care, food, enrichment, and shelter for pets in need—and brings us closer to finding them loving families. The APA’s work is only possible because of the incredible support we receive from compassionate individuals like you.

Plus, we're hoping to turn our birthday into more "Gotcha Days"! Adoption fees are waived all weekend long thanks to ARCO in celebration of their Founder's Day.

Let’s make our 104th birthday one to remember—for us, and for every pet still waiting to be adopted. Thank you for helping make their wishes come true.
