This year alone, we've opened our doors and hearts to 9,912 pets in need. Each of these animals came to us with their own story - some lost and reunited with their families, some strays, some in need of care, and all in search of hope and a second chance at life.

At the APA, we believe 'Hope Starts Here.' Our mission is to provide these deserving pets with the love, care, and support they deserve and to bring them together with loving families who will change their lives forever.

But we can't do it alone. Our work is made possible through the generosity and compassion of supporters like you. Your donations this Giving Tuesday can help us continue to give these animals a brighter future. Your contribution ensures that more tails wag, more purrs fill the air, and more lives are transformed.

Tito’s Handmade Vodka will be matching all donations up to $2,500 on Giving Tuesday, November 28^th. In addition, everyone who donates $50 or more will be entered to win multiple prize packs from Tito’s that include Tito’s cooler, holiday sweater, swag for dogs, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Donors must be 21+ to win.

We will also be starting the day off with a $5,000 gift, thanks to two very generous donors, Carolyn and Charlie, who want to challenge the community to raise an additional $5,000 to double the impact.

Please join us in our mission to make a difference this Giving Tuesday. Every dollar donated brings us closer to our goal, and another pet closer to a loving home. Together, we can show that 'Hope Starts Here' at the APA.
