We will be open for normal hours on Christmas Eve and are holding special adoption hours on Christmas Day!
Our animals are a part of our APA! family, and until we’re able to find them forever homes, we’ll be here – even on Christmas Day – to ensure they receive the love and care we feel they deserve. Volunteers are welcome at the building all day to make sure our current residents are getting care and love during the holidays.
We're hoping that some of you picked up gift certificates and the recipients can stop by the building to redeem their gifts and pick out their new cat or dog on Christmas Day!

Also, for those searching for a belated holiday gift, APA! is always offering sponsorships of its pets (available on the website). Sponsorships greater than $50 will be sent a photo of the sponsored pet in a magnet frame and all sponsorships, regardless of donation level, will be sent a card by APA! with a message designated by the donor.
