Hello there. My name is Reece, and I am a sweet gal just over 3 years old. I was at our big shelter a long while, and then APA came and got me.

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, my name is Honey. I came to APA in early 2025 from the big shelter, but I was originally from a rescue in El Paso. I have some anxiety issues and take medications for it, and though I didn't go to the prison, I was obedience-trained at APA. I need to be an only dog, but I love all people and kids. I know there is a family out there for me somewhere, and I'd make a good companion for a single person or couple.

Hi, my name is Toby. I came to APA from another prison program when it was shut down earlier in 2025. I finished my PAWS training in November 2025, and now I am ready for a great home of my own! I am an overall great guy and good with dogs and people--but may be a bit shy at first. I know all my training plus some additional tricks. I'm very smart, too.
