How We Help Homeless Animals Each quarter, Don't Forget To Love Your Pet® will feature an animal rescue, shelter or sanctuary on this page, and donate $2.00 per t-shirt and $1.00 per magnet to the featured organization. We look forward sharing information about the great work of these groups! We also publish a rescue/shelter list for the upstate NY area in hopes of helping to increase adoption. Please click here for a printable version of this list. |

Operations & Funding: APF is a 501c3 (non-profit) organization operated by private donations and fees for the services it provides. The shelter receives no municipal or tax support and is not part of a national organization. The shelter relies heavily on fundraising initiatives and interest generated from its endowment, to meet operational expenses.
