Does my gift to other animal welfare organizations (such as Humane Society of the United States, PETA or ASPCA) help animals in Portage County?
While all these organization have the same goals – to help animals in need – only donations made directly to the Portage APL help animals right here in your backyard. The Portage APL is a local shelter that receives and houses animals from Portage County and is dependent on local support to keep the shelter operating. No national organizations financially support local shelters. The Portage APL is an independent non-profit funded by voluntary donations. Funding for Portage APL’s services and programs is received in the form of cash donations, bequests, trusts, endowments and through adoption and surrender fees.
