The Animal Protection League is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  Founded in 2003, our goal was to raise awareness concerning animal care and cruelty.  Over the years, we have introduced programs educating the public on the humane treatment of animals, responsible care-giving and the importance of the human/animal connection; the reciprocal bond that exists between humans and animals.

On April 1, 2011, The APL entered a partnership with the City of Anderson to manage the operations of its animal shelter.  Using the resources available to us, our staff and volunteers strive every day to find loving and lifelong adopters for the homeless cats and dogs in our community.  Visit our Frequently Asked Questions Page to learn more about our organization.
