I have been looking for a dog for some time now, with no luck at all. I've given out all the information that FBI would like to have in order to get a dog and that didn't help. Luckily a friend told me about APA and I went there and found the cutest little dog and it took her home. Just like that. I think all pet adoptions should go this easy. And the staff was absolutely wonderful.

ronald johnson | Oct 16, 2020

I'm not quite sure on the price I have gotten animals from other shelters before and it was doing a promotion and you work they were giving you a deal at $100 for the dog or puppy so I think the best thing for you to do is either call I'll go on the internet to find out the price good luck

How much does it cost to adopt a dog? May I adopt and bring home my dog the same day?

ER. D | Oct 17, 2019
Jacqueline Orzel | Oct 17, 2019

Older dogs are less money, around $100. I think $200 is probably the highest, although I'm not sure if it's more if they have done spay/neuter. They do same-day adoptions, but they highly recommend a meet and greet if you have other animals.

What does pick your price mean?

Lena Dickerson | Oct 17, 2018
Rachel Freeman | Oct 17, 2018

It means animals are paid for by donation and they asked for typically a minimum amount to cover the basics but if you would like to donate more to help them pay for all of the medical care they have given your pet, then you can pay more. So basically there's a suggested donation amount, but you pay what you feel it's worth.

I would just call to see if they are accepting intakes. There's an option to ask. There should be a form on their website for scheduling an intake to get the process started.

I need to bring my cat in to be seen by the vet however the online appointment process requires one put in a cell phone number so a text can be sent when to come in. I do not have a cell phone. How can I set up an appointment for my cat?

A Google User | Dec 20, 2021
Jane Walsh | Dec 20, 2021

You can also just walk in to the clinic. Just be aware, they sometimes are very busy and can run out of appointments. The online system actually just get you in line so you don't have to wait at the clinic. You're not actually scheduling an appointment.

Hi, does anyone have an idea if APA allows people to come and spend time to cuddle with the animals waiting to be adopted? My apartment doesn't allow pets. I miss my dog and wanted to just spend time being around pets.

Bem Sar | Oct 16, 2021
Morgan Dunnegan | Oct 16, 2021

There are definitely volunteer opportunities you could take advantage of. I'm sure the animals would appreciate your help as much as the employees. Plus, you'd get to sneak in a cuddle here and there! I'd check out their website or call for volunteer information. Hope this helps! :)

Pamela Kilcullen | Oct 16, 2020
LaVada Lewis | Oct 16, 2020

I'm not sure. You have to go to the website to preview then call and make an appointment for visitations. We were told that they get new additions daily. However, our furry friends get adopted daily as well, on a first come, first serve basis. I hope this was helpful.

According to their website, they do euthanize in some cases. However I've adopted two cats from there and found the cats to be well socialized and their clinic services, while not 100% full service due to resources, to be very good. The facility is very pet friendly and the staff truly cares about the animals

Troy Boone | Oct 17, 2018
S J | Oct 17, 2018

Yes, there is a surrender fee of $20 for one pet. If it is a litter of puppies or kittens, the surrender fee is $50. This fee helps offset the costs the APA incurs for vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping and general care.

Are you planning on buying or adopting a pet? If so then you should consider a puppy so that she herself can see how quickly they grow. But, if not then she should not pet any animal that she or you are not familiar with.

All cats are 'pick your price' with a suggested minimum of $50 to help with the costs of spaying/neutering, vaccinations and microchip, which are all taken care of prior to adoption (value of $150). You'll also get a starter bag of cat food and a collar.

Charles Chatt | Oct 17, 2018

Better than no kill in my opinion. They are humane and only put down animals thay will never be adopted due to severe health or behavioral issues. They never kill for space. They're very humane and caring and go out of their way to help every animal get adopted, even finding barns for feral cats. They're efficient and organized.

Robert Ohlemacher | Oct 17, 2018
S J | Oct 17, 2018

Unfortunately, we do not. We know some organizations do this, however, due to the volume of pets we help over the course of the year (more than 3,500), it is not possible for us to adequately clean chairs due to the fabric. We do provide each pet with a bed, blanket and toys while they are here, and are always in need of donations related to this. Fortunately, our average length of stay for most pets is 8 days or less, so it doesn't take long for them to be adopted.

As far as I know they do not disqualify you based on other dog breeds in the home. I believe they do ask for you to bring your dog in for a meet and greet to make sure they get along before taking the new dog home, but that is with any breed.

Talk to the dog's owner and let them know your concerns. Tell them you'll be reporting your concerns to authorities. German Shepherds can handle the cold if they have shelter but being tied up continuously is neglect and abuse.
