As a 501(c)(3) organization, the APL is an independent nonprofit agency that is not funded or controlled by any local government or national animal welfare agency. Since we receive no government funding, the Cleveland Animal Protective League relies on generous friends like you to make a difference in the lives of the animals for whom we shelter, rescue, and provide assistance.
