Portage Animal Protective League
Giving Animals Another Chance at Life
The Portage Animal Protective League is dedicated to the advancement of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership throughout Portage County. We strive to provide a safe, compassionate environment for every animal that comes through our doors, ensuring each receives the care and second chance they deserve.
Our History and Community Commitment
Founded in 1955 as a grassroots organization, we have grown to become the first non-profit humane organization in Portage County. Today, we operate out of our modern facility on Infirmary Road, where we continue our original mission to prevent cruelty, uphold animal laws, and serve as a vital resource for the pets and people of our community.
A Caring, No Time Limit Shelter
We are a limited access, no time limit shelter, providing a stable haven for animals while they wait for their perfect match. Our dedicated staff and volunteers provide essential medical care, including immunizations and spay/neuter services, to rehabilitate sick, injured, and abandoned animals. We are proud to be a place where healing and transformation happen every day.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
We believe in finding not just any home, but the right home for every dog and cat in our care. Our adoption process is designed to create lasting partnerships, with our staff providing guidance to help you select a pet whose personality and needs align perfectly with your family. We are here to support you throughout the journey, from your first visit to bringing your new friend home.
