Young Friends & Old Friends
At the APA, we welcome dedicated individuals from every walk of life. To that end, we’ve formed two groups with annual membership fees that support both social opportunities and the fulfillment of our mission.
Young Friends
The Young Friends of the APA are a group of 20- and 30-year-olds dedicated to the continued success of the APA Adoption Center.

- Exclusive invitations to Young Friends events

Old Friends
The Old Friends of the APA are a group of older adults dedicated to our mission and the continued success of the APA Adoption Center. Membership provides an opportunity to connect and socialize with others who recognize the value of the human-animal bond and the APA’s work in facilitating it.
