Very helpful when I went there asking for a cat to befriend my Greyhound. They are the best of buddies.
Jeff loves to curl up with Sophia. In this pic she was asleep (Greys sleep with their eyes slightly open) and Jeff reached a paw out to hold her leg as he rested on my lap.
You know when you get an animal you shouldn't juat see it as an animal. They want be apart of a family too just cause they are lil rough they shouldn't be sent back to plave they wanted escape from so bad. Dogs/cats etc dont give us away and us humans are ass holes. Keep Briggs just deal with it.

Animals at APL change frequently. Highly recommend just going and spending time taking a dog for a walk or go play fetch with them in the fenced area in back. You never know which one will steal your heart until you spend time there! Bonus when you adopt one that is already house broken!!!
They sell the flea treatments for pretty cheap! Drops or chewables. I use the drops For my cats, they will ask the weight of your pet. (Chewables for pups, they will have had to "see" your pet for those.
For drops, start at the neck, & go down the back to the tail.
APL does not euthanize animals based on space. They do have a large foster base as well. If the animal is adoptable, they will put it up for adoption, and have it available for adoption until it gets adopted. The foster program is usually meant for animals not available for adoption or animals that come to APL sick or injured. APL will continue to care for any animal until it gets adopted.
We have 4 Adult cats needing good homes. 3 boys all fixed with shots and 1 female not fixed. We are desperate for good homes any one interested please message me.

This is a Google user forum for opinions as and experiences. You're best calling them on their main number during business hours and asking for specifics. Good luck!

I went in to visit the shelter looking for puppy and filled out application. They called back to schedule a visitation meeting for the puppy I requested.
Do you put pets to sleep when asked because they are dying

No, the APL is a no-kill shelter
Does the apl trim or cut my dogs nails just by a walk in or do I need to make an appointment. Her nails r kinda long nd I just hadnt had the extra money. Nor will she let me cut them bc she has black nails, nd update on her rabies. Plz let me know.
They can have some at any time but the smaller dogs get adopted quickly. Consider an older one to give them a forever home.
Does APL hold animals that you want to adopt? My husband and I found 2 cats at Petsmart that we fell in love with but we are in the process of moving and wanted to give our cat a week or two to acclimate to the new house before introducing new cats.

Personally i would ask them they might but they also could be full so i think best bet would be to call and ask.
On their website there is a page that talks about all the different costs plus shots, microchip and other items. 35 if a male, 45 if a female and 25 on feral cats.

We had our male cat neutered, he also got his rabies vaccine and distemper shot and it was 60.00 .. We did not get the rabies tag though so, that is another 17.00
I have a really cute stray cat that showed up to my house digging in my trash..(clearly hungry) we fed her outside be cause were allergic to cats and winter is here..so can I bring her to apl?

I would suggest calling them. They may be able to take the kitty if they have room. Or if it's feral they may be able to assist with their feral barn cat program.
I have two dogs both female one is year old and one is two year old and two puppies four months old will the animal protection league take them

You will have to call Animal Protective League to find out if they have the space. Because they are a no kill shelter they often have limited space as the only way they make new space is by placing animals in forever homes.
Generally, no. Only if necessary. Fo instance, one of my fosters was euthanized because he had a debilitating disease and no treatment was available to help him and he was in pain, both physically and mentally as he could not even lift his head or get up. So, only if there is no quality of life and is the only humane option.
I would never adopt an animal unless I was wanting to be a part if their life for the rest of their life, but I guess if the furbaby doesn't have that same appeal anymore please take it back. You probably won't get your adoption fee, but at least that furbaby has a chance to find a family who will truly love it unconditionally.
I tried every place wants cash or credit care which I was denied..I can debit but it would have to be on a set date to avoid overdraft...it's a good thing we're all human or we would be left to just suffer as well.. but for the record Odie is better then some humans in my book..he is my friend ..campaion..better then some ppl..
Id cont. Calling. Could be theyll have a cancellation. At times they have specials in certain neighborhoods. That is how we got our 87 lb male pit done. There were signs in the neighborhood.
APL rescues dogs and cats to be adopted. You should call ahead to ask if they offer vet services, but as far as I know, they only offer spay and neuter to the public to help curb the unwanted puppies and kittens in the world.
They do have new kittens to grown cats for adoption of all shapes, sizes, colors, and get more all the time. Fees for adoption cover having the new pet fixed and brought up on shots. Please contact them directly for prices and times they are open. If you have other pets, you may be asked to provide proof from your vet they are current with shots. Ask for any other changes of requirements.
You might want to try - (if needed) to sell them to the Fish Man pet center. They will only give wholesale prices of course. They just moved to the Fair Plaza near Walgreens on Sangamon Ave. and Peoria Rd. Not sure they are excepting but you could call and ask.
Rabies 1year 18 dollars,rabies 3 years 25 dollars,rabies registration 9 dollars,DHPP (canine distemper) 15 dollars,Bordetella (kennel cough)15 dollars,FVRCP (feline distemper)15 dollars they are low cost.they have a clinic once a month.
Do I need an appointment or is it walk in service!

Animal Protective League is not a vet clinic. They do offer vaccines for the public at low cost every 3rd Saturday of the month. 10 am to 1pm no appointment needed.
How do I update my dog's microchip address and phone number?
Lory Feistamel | Oct 10, 2017
Andrew Smith | Oct 10, 2017
Call APL to have them change it in their computer systems. Also be sure to call the microchip company he is registered with to Change yoyr info there as well.
APL has a large assortment of dogs at any given time. You can always call first before visiting. They do not look for specific breeds to rescue, as the rescue from kill shelters in the area, but sometimes they do get specific breeds in. They are open 12 to 5 every day of the week.
