Save the date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
Get ready to drop anchor for Cleveland’s most tail-wagging night of the year! The Cleveland APL’s 2026 Fur Ball invites you aboard for an unforgettable evening of nautical flair, delicious bites, and can’t-miss live and silent auction treasures—all in support of animals who need a second chance.
Whether you join us in person or from home, this celebratory night fuels the APL’s Second Chance Program, providing life-saving medical care and rehabilitation for animals who are sick, injured, abused, abandoned, or have special needs—helping them heal, thrive, and ultimately find loving new families of their own.
So don your favorite seaside-inspired style and prepare to make waves in support of animals in need. Together, we’ll chart a course toward brighter futures—one paw at a time.
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.
