Keeping a Heart Beating

How can you help?

Donate!

All of the earnings made at APA’s thrift stores go towards purchasing essentails, and it allows APA to continue helping the dogs. If you have old clothes drop them off for them to sell!

Volunteer!

Volunteering at APA helps the shelter keep a fresh environment. You get to spend all day with the dogs while doing some helpful work, not to mention, you also get service hours!

Foster!

By fostering a dog, it allows APA to continue to take dogs in. You are able help establish what is the correct behavior to have, and at the same time, have a friend to give you many kisses!

Adopt!

You not only open up a new spot in the shelter for another pet, but you also get to add a new member to your family. They will lighten up your life and will give you a life time of cuddles!
