About ACTion Programs for Animals:
APA was founded in 2009 and began with a focus on helping keep animals from entering the shelter through programs like the still-running pet food bank. In May 2012, the Dona Ana Pets Alive! campaign was started – the groups' direct rescue and re-homing effort to help the community reach its No Kill goal as soon as possible. This campaign concentrates its efforts on rescuing animals abandoned at the municipal animal shelter, with a focus on the ones most at-risk, which are large/unruly dogs, heartworm-positive dogs, pit bull mixes, long-term dogs, shy/timid small dogs, cats and hundreds of kittens.
