Our Team

Who we are and what we do

The Animal Protection League supports animals most in need and is committed to reducing dog and cat populations. 

In early 2024, we opened a Free and Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic and Wellness Center, the first of its kind in the area.

Mission: Creating a long-term solution by advancing animal welfare through education, providing resources for animal well-being, and low-cost/free spay and neuter for the dogs and cats of our community.

Vision: We envision a community where all dogs and cats are treated with respect and kindness and where affordable care allows animals to stay with their owners while providing a disease and cruelty-free life.

Values: In fulfilling its mission and vision, Animal Protection League undertakes activities that have these goals:

  • Solution Driven - Focus on preventing overpopulation, suffering and abandonment through proactive services such as spay/neuter.
  • Educating - Work to change the overall cultural climate of its community through education and advocacy services that promote animal welfare.
  • Diligent - Provide pet guardians with the information and physical resources they need to have healthy, loving relationships with one another.
  • Compassion - Foster cultural values of compassion and kindness by opening people's hearts to the healing presence of companion animals.
