Animal Protective Foundation

The Animal Protective Foundation is a humane society providing services to Schenectady County and the greater Capital Region. Since 1931, the APF has held true to the mission of its founders. We have an open admission policy which ensures that animals are not turned away based on their breed, age, condition, or circumstance. We provide many services including pet adoption, reduced cost spay/neuter, microchipping, pet bereavement support, end of life services and dog obedience classes. We also assist low-income pet owners by providing pet food to the Schenectady Inner City Mission (SICM). We hold several events throughout the year for fun and fundraising, and your tax-deductible donations are always appreciated. Be sure to ask us about our wish list for items needed to keep our animals happy & healthy. We're also looking for volunteers and foster homes. Our mission is to a promote and protect the human-animal bond by providing resources for our community and humane care to companion animals.

The Animal Protective Foundation serves Schenectady County as well as the greater Capital Region. We accept owner relinquished pets from Schenectady County residents. We are located about 30 minutes Northwest of Albany New York, in Schenectady County.
