The Animal Protection Association is a nonprofit 501c3 no-kill shelter based in Jeffersonville, Indiana with a satellite focused on spaying and neutering in Borden, Indiana. Our organization is relatively small, but our spirit has kept us thriving since August 1999. Since we began, we have placed more than 2,000 animals (cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and even some farm animals) in loving forever homes. We stand strongly on the spay/neuter platform, and we've worked with our local schools and youth to spread the ideals of responsible pet ownership even further. Occasionally we've also been able to help those less fortunate within the community to offset their personal vet bills as well. We're a very dedicated group, but we're always in need of more volunteers, money for our vet bills, and basic supplies (especially cat litter!).

We have regular adoption hours on Saturday mornings from 12(noon)-3pm at the shelter on East 11th Street. We also have a couple of adoption cages at the Clarksville Feeders Supply (Clark Station, 229 E. Lewis and Clark Pkwy.) which can be viewed during the store's business hours. Primarily we schedule adoptions by appointment -- just call our number and leave a message; someone will return your call shortly and arrange to meet you.

An adoption application may be filled out online or in person. Once references are checked and information verified, the adoption fee is the only thing left between you and your new fur-ever friend -- $60 for kittens, cats, and puppies and $75 for adult dogs; the fee covers spaying/neutering, up-to-date vaccinations, and testing for FIV/Leukemia or heartworms as well as any other needed veterinary care.
