Animal Protection and Education Association (APEA)

We are ordinary people dedicated to educating people on responsible pet ownership and saving as many innocent animals as we can.
Mission
Our mission is to promote the humane treatment of all animals, eliminate pet overpopulation, provide public education regarding animal care and welfare, protect the animals placed in our care, and to seek responsible homes for the animals that can be adopted.
Company Overview
We are an animal rescue group. We work strictly from donations and volunteers. Our goal is that every animal have a happy place to live out the rest of their lives and to do so with someone who loves them.

We require a fenced yard and a vet reference to adopt one of our babies!
