Action for Animals (APA) Mission and Vision
Our mission is to offer lifesaving programs and services to rescue at-risk companion animals in Doña Ana County and support people and their pets in living healthy and happy lives together. We envision a time when all companion animals in our community are treated with respect and kindness.
Since May 2012, we have rescued more than 6,300 animals.
The majority of these have been dogs and cats/kittens pulled from our municipal shelter.
We can do this through the tireless work of our staff, foster families, and volunteers, and because of the support of our donors. The APA Adoption and Education Center is located at 537 N. Solano Dr. and is open Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday from 11 to 3 or by appointment.
Info line: 575-644-0505; adoption center: 575-571-4654; e-mail: mail@apalascruces.org.
We’re excited to share that our organization has earned a 2022 Platinum Seal of Transparency with Candid! Now, you can support our work with trust and confidence by viewing our #NonprofitProfile https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-0234541
