Thank You for Your Support!
This year’s Fur Ball was held on November 1, 2025 at the Intercontinental Hotel Cleveland. This year’s event was an incredible success, raising over $358,000 for the Cleveland APL’s Second Chance Program. Thanks to the generosity of our community, these funds will provide life‑saving medical care and rehabilitation for animals who are sick, injured, abused, abandoned, or have special needs.
Looking Ahead to Fur Ball 2026
Save the date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
We’re already looking forward to next year’s event and working toward raising even more to help animals in need. More information will be available in the spring of 2026.
Why Your Support Matters
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations to care for our animals. With rising costs and more complex medical cases, your support is more important than ever. Every gift helps animals who:
- Are surrendered by their owners
- Are brought in by Good Samaritans
- Are rescued by our Humane Society Agents from abuse, abandonment, or neglect
At the Cleveland APL, we believe every animal deserves a chance to survive, heal, grow, and find a loving home.
The Second Chance Program
Funded solely by donations, the Second Chance Program ensures that animals receive:
- Advanced medical and surgical care
- Vaccines and medications
- Compassionate rehabilitation and recovery
Our facility is more than a shelter; it’s an animal resource center with a state‑of‑the‑art medical clinic, giving us the ability to provide innovative treatments and save more lives than ever before.
Together, We Can Do Even More
With your help, we not only will continue to provide life-saving medical and surgical care, vaccines, and medications to animals in need, but we can look toward our future—a future where our ability to provide innovative medical treatments can grow and flourish.
