APET’s mission is to reduce populations of unwanted dogs and cats, and to diligently work toward the goal of eliminating animal cruelty, including neglect and abandonment. APET provides an animal shelter for strays and reduces population by spaying and neutering all animals prior to adoptions. Also, we recognize the importance of public outreach programs and education to foster a public sentiment of responsible pet ownership. APET also seeks to expand its shelter to provide refuge and adoption options for a multitude of homeless dogs and cats. Our mission will be ongoing as we strive to broaden our area of impact.
