All summer long, we’re adding some wag to the week to help you beat the heat. Join us for a host of pet-friendly activities plus the chance to meet some friendly people who happen to enjoy pets.
Check out all the APA has to offer this summer:
Happiest Hours
Clink leashes with some shelter dogs and enjoy a drink with some pet-minded people. Our Friday nights are the cathartic and canine way to start your weekend.
Doggie Dates
Fireflies, ice cream and days at the park are just some of the summer activities our shelter dogs enjoy. What’s that? It’s the same for you? Well then stop by the APA to grab a shelter buddy for a Doggie Date. Just make sure the activity is pet friendly. Dogs get embarrassed when they can’t zipline.
Microchip Mondays
Join us every Monday at the APA for Microchip Mondays, where you can protect your pet with a $20 microchip and personalized pet ID tag! No appointment needed.
Tuesday Tales
Register for an animal-themed storytime and pet-related activity program where all little learners can thrive.
