Is the Cleveland APL a ‘No-Kill’ shelter?
The Cleveland APL accepts every animal in need, regardless of condition, disposition, or space available. Animals are evaluated for our veterinary treatment, foster, and adoption programs based on their health and behavior. Animals suffering from untreatable illness or injury, infectious diseases, or animals that display aggressive behavior are euthanized. There are no time limits or specific schedules assigned to how long an animal may stay at the Cleveland APL – animals are NOT euthanized for space or time limits. Simply put, an adoptable animal will stay with us until a new home is found.
