Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Animal Care
ANIMAL CARE AND PROTECTION THE ANIMAL SHELTER OPERATION PROVIDES ANIMAL CARE, SPAYING, NEUTERING AND PROTECTION FOR AN AREA OF APPROX. 207 SO MILES AND A POPULATION OF OVER 160,000 PEOPLE. DURING THE CURRENT YEAR OVER 3,800 ANIMALS WERE HANDLED.
Foster Program
Each year the APF helps hundreds of animals find loving homes. Foster families help many of these incredible pets on their journey to being adopted.
Foster homes are needed for the following:
Mama cats with kittens too young to be placed for adoption.
Kittens without a mother cat who need bottle feeding.
Kittens who are eating on their own, but not big or old enough for spay and neuter surgery.
Cats or dogs with colds or undergoing treatment for an illness (generally not contagious).
Cats or dogs recovering from surgery.
Dogs in need of training or manners.
Dogs or cats who have been at the shelter a while who need a break or could benefit from some at home photo shoots or a personal marketing assistant.
Canine Academy
The APF Canine Academy Program is designed to train owners how to develop well-mannered family pets and good canine citizens. Our courses offer socialization with other people and dogs, as well as training for skills, including how to walk calmly on a loose leash, come when called, sit, down, stand and stay. Our approach to training is a motivational one, always using positive reinforcement to achieve success. Training with the APF also helps homeless pets, as 50% of your registration fee benefits the shelter. The minimum age for handling is 16 years old if accompanied by an adult.
Our instructors have been certified through Animal Behavior College and are also approved Canine Good Citizen evaluators. For more information on any of our dog training programs or to register, please call (518) 374-3944, ext. 102.
Low Cost Spay/Neuter
The Community Spay/Neuter Clinic is the APF’s answer to our community’s pet overpopulation crisis. Our beautiful, new state-of the-art surgical center enables us to further our commitment to high-quality, low-cost surgery with the singular goal of reducing the number of homeless and unwanted animals in our communities. We provide compassionate care by licensed and skilled veterinary professionals using quality instruments and supplies.
