In 2024, APS-FH's Animal Wellness Clinic made a huge impact:
✨ 258 pets spayed or neutered
46 community cats in our Trap-Neuter-Return program (all returned to the field)
90 owned pets (35 dogs, 55 cats)
122 shelter pets (35 dogs, 87 cats)
By providing these critical services, we’re preventing thousands of unwanted kittens and puppies and giving pets the care they need to find their fur-ever homes.
It doesn’t stop there! Our clinic provides exams, vaccines, microchips, medications, and more to
keep island pets healthy.
In 2024, we spent over $93,000- to deliver these essential services, demonstrating the high cost of supporting our community’s pets.
💖 You can help! Show your love for island pets by supporting our clinic. Your gift ensures we
can continue providing these vital services for animals in need.

This afternoon, this sweet pup was brought in to our shelter by a good samaritan. Pup has no collar/harness or microchip. Found between Spring & Price St.
Tan/fawn blonde in color, ~15 pounds.
Does this kind face ring any bells? Pup is very shy, but sweet and we’d like to reunite them with their owner!
If you recognize this dog, please call the shelter at (360) 378-2158 ... See MoreSee Less
