WHO WE ARE The Animal Protective Foundation is a humane society providing services to Schenectady County and the greater Capital Region. Since 1931, the APF has held true to the mission of its founders. We have an open admission policy which ensures that animals are not turned away based on their breed, age, condition, or circumstance. We accept owner relinquished cats, dogs and small animals and stray cats from Schenectady County residents. We request a minimum donation of $25 per animal at the time of intake or surrender. The APF cares for upwards of 2,500 animals each year. OUR MISSION The mission of the Animal Protective Foundation is to promote and protect the human-animal bond by providing resources to our community and humane care to companion animals. OUR VISION Our vision is a community where all companion animals are loved, respected and receive exceptional care. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ANIMALS Upon arrival, animals receive an incoming exam and are vaccinated against distemper, rabies, and other diseases. They are also treated for fleas, worms and other parasites, as needed. Then they are given time to settle into their new surroundings and provided with comforting amenities, such as blankets, beds and toys. Prior to spay/neuter surgery, cats over 6 months old are tested for feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency (FIV) and cats under 6 months old are tested for feline leukemia (FeLV) only. Dogs are tested for heartworm, Lyme disease, ehrlichia and anaplasma (both tick-borne illnesses). The average cost of care we provide for each dog and cat is $250. We get to know our pets through behavioral assessments so that we can place them with adopters whose lifestyles best match their needs. Staff members and volunteers provide daily exercise, enrichment, and socialization for the animals.
