The Cleveland APL has been Making Happily Ever Afters Since 1913.

Our mission is to foster compassion and end animal suffering. We are an independent, nonprofit humane society located in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood. As a 501(c)(3) agency, we are not funded by any government or national animal welfare organization.

We are committed to 100 percent placement of adoptable animals and envision a time when every friendly, healthy, homeless animal in our community can be cared for until a new family is found.

The Cleveland APL provides shelter to homeless animals relinquished by their guardians, animals that are rescued from abuse or neglect. The Cleveland APL is where happily ever after begins -- for both shelter pets and people.
