APET

APET's mission is to reduce populations of unwanted dogs and cats and to diligently work toward greatly reducing animal cruelty. APET provides an animal shelter for strays and reduces population by neutering all animals prior to adoption. We recognize the importance of public outreach programs and education to foster a public sentiment of responsible pet ownership. We seek to expand the shelter in our area to provide refuge and adoption options for many more homeless pets.

2026 GOALS

Increase number of animals saved, neutered, and re-homed in Wood County and surrounding areas.
Promote sterilization through the Wood County Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP).
Collaborate with other shelters, rescues and transport groups in order to place more cats and dogs into loving homes.
Conduct educational programs/projects and speak to various area organizations.
Obtain grants, raise funds, and increase donations to continue our work of keeping animals in a safe and healthy environment.

Our mission is ongoing as we strive to broaden our area of impact. Please volunteer, donate, and/or get involved. Join us in our mission to succeed!
