Welcome...
Here are some ways you can help us help the animals of Amador County...
• Be sure that your pets are spayed/neutered and don’t be a contributor to pet overpopulation.
• Join A-PAL’s Save the Kittens Team
• Volunteer as a foster family and care for kittens
• Adopt an A-PAL dog or kitten and give it a loving and life long home.
• Remember A-PAL Humane Society in your will and life insurance policies
• Donate funds to A-PAL
We want to be sure that this is communicated to all of our wonderful partners, donors and volunteers. A-PAL understands that these accomplishments are the results of a group effort and would not have been possible without our many animal loving partners.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We are very fortunate to have amazing vets, generous donors, dedicated volunteers and terrific county partners for animal rescue in Amador County. I have attached detailed reports, but wanted to summarize the terrific accomplishments that were made possible with your dedication and assistance.
A-PAL Humane Society has the primary goal of preventing suffering of Amador County animals through the prevention of overpopulation. In 2009- 1195 cats and kittens were spay/neutered and 252 dogs were spay/neutered. Left unaltered these cats, (646 females-3 to 5 heats of 3-6 kittens each) would conservatively have produced 10,000 kittens within one year. The dogs left unaltered woud have produced approximately 1000 puppies, (162 females, 6-14 puppies each). The "Save the Kittens" program adopted 599 cats and kittens through the Feed Barn in 2009. We love pit bull dogs, but too often they end up at our shelter and 88 were spay/neutered free of charge last year.
TRI COUNTY WILDLIFE CARE works to rescue, rehabilitate and release local wildlife. This year a combined total of 351 mammals, birds and reptiles were taken in with 184 released back to freedom. In 2008 we took in 273 with 143 released, so as our area develops the need for wildlife assistance increases.
We live in an amazing community and I appreciate your partnership for animal welfare!
