Support

Since we receive no government funding, we rely on generous financial supporters to make a difference in the lives of the animals for whom we care for. There are also many other ways you can make a difference, including becoming a volunteer. Privacy Policy Tax ID: 34-0714644

Unleash the Dream With Us

The Cleveland APL has successfully completed its first-ever capital campaign to renovate and expand our Tremont facility into an animal resource center for the community. Through this effort, we will be able to meet the needs of the animals and people we care for today and be flexible enough to address what may come our way tomorrow.
