The APA also operates a clinic and offers lost and found assistance. Its Head-To-Tails Hope Fund provides free care for animals with special needs cases whose owners cannot afford the treatment that they need, as well as care for animals in our shelter with special needs cases.
The APA also has a Pet Partners program that provides pet assistance to those living in the 63136 zip code, and surrounding zip codes on a case by case basis.
The APA offers education programs as well, including anti-bullying classes for schools, humane education classes and scout badge programs. The APA Also offers a PetReach program, which brings pets to visit those living in senior care facilities.
Temporary housing and care for the pets of those leaving a domestic abuse situation, or facing eviction or foreclosure due the COVID-19 pandemic, is provided through the APA’s Safe Care and Crisis Housing programs.
