Friendship Animal Protective League

The Friendship APL is a privately funded nonprofit Humane Society.

Our members gather together out of concern for the pets in Lorain County and contribute time, money and talent to make Lorain County a better place for the animals.

The government does not contribute to the cost of caring for the animals at Friendship APL.

Friendship APL receives no government funding. We depend on the generosity and financial support of friends and neighbors, and on various fundraisers, to serve the people and animals of Lorain County.

What we do for the animals:

1. Friendship APL does not euthanize pets for time up or to make space for other pets. We schedule incoming pets to make certain that we have room to house and care for the pets.

2. We screen and continually monitor pets for health and behavior problems.

3. All pets receive one or more vaccinations, deworming, lab tests as required and a veterinary examination.

4. We spay or neuter all pets prior to adoption. (People are sometimes surprised to learn that a cute little kitten or puppy is already spayed or neutered. Veterinarians have safely spayed pets as early as 6 weeks for more than 20 years.)

5. Pets ready for adoption are kept separate from incoming pets to help protect the pets and people from disease and parasites.

6. We help people select the proper pet for their family and lifestyle. We also counsel people to prevent future problems.

7. We maintain a Lost & Found Log to help reunite lost pets with their owners.

8. Friendship APL humane officers respond to every report of alleged neglect, abuse or cruelty.
