Making a Difference for Pets in Our Community

At the Animal Protective Foundation, our mission is to ensure that every companion animal in our community is cared for, loved, and has the chance to find a forever home. Through adoption services, veterinary care, and community outreach, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of pets and the people who love them.

Hey, I'm Abe! I'm a young active guy that would love a friend to go on hikes with, stroll through the park, watch the ducks play in the pond, and watch tv with. I like to keep busy and am always up for an adventure. I am very loyal and have a lot of love to give.
