Make a Donation to Animal Protectors

Thank you to our 2011 Official Tails on the Trails Dog Walk Sponsors!

The trails are empty, the vendors have packed up and the dogs are still snoozing after their adventurous nature walk. We cannot thank our supporters enough for making our 2011 walk a huge success – the shelter animals are grateful that you and your canine companions walked in their honor

We would like to especially thank all of our sponsors – without you, this event could not happen.

To all of our viewers – we encourage you to check out their web sites and support their businesses, just as they have generously supported Animal Protectors.

Consider Becoming a Foster Parent

If you’ve ever wanted to do some volunteer work or make a difference in your community, consider helping us with our stewardship toward our animals, our little friends. Please, come be a foster parent. Stop by the shelter to fill out a simple application. Read more about our shelter animals in need and why fostering is so important.

Low Cost Microchipping and Soft Paw Services Available

We are happy to serve the New Kensington Community not only as the city’s animal control, but also with a few low cost options to keep your pets happy and safe.

We now offer low cost microchipping right at the shelter! The cost for an animal you adopt/adopted from AP is only $20; this includes lifetime registration with the microchip company. For non-AP animals the cost is only $30, and also includes the registration. The microchips are AKC-CAR ISO chips. Once your animal has a microchip you are then able to apply for a lifetime license, this is an additional fee and is taken care of by the county in which you live.

Remember, animals sometimes get lost, but with a microchip they are 20 times more likely to be returned home.

Soft Paw nail cap application for cats is also available at the shelter for only $5! Soft Paws are a safe alternative to declawing. Please contact the shelter for more information.

Who We Are

We are a no-kill, non-profit shelter located in New Kensington, PA. Our shelter is always full of animals, many which are strays. Our shelter is a constant stream of activity. New animals are examined for possible problems, medical charts are checked and medication is administered, when needed. Cat cages and dog kennels are cleaned daily. From the time the shelter opens until it closes, there's a constant flurry of cleaning, feeding, exercising, cuddling, caring. Fresh food, water, litter boxes, and blankets are placed in each cage daily.

Since we depend on volunteers, our office hours are limited to:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Tuesday and Thursday 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Other times by appointment.

Volunteers Needed!

Our shelter is always in need of dedicated and caring animal lovers who are willing to sacrifice their time to help care for our many dogs and cats that reside at the shelter. Volunteers are needed to help walk and bathe dogs, socialize cats, aid in animal transportation to vet appointments and shelter events, and more! If you have the time to help an animal in need, please contact the shelter at 724-339-7388 for volunteer information. Working with our animals is truly a rewarding experience!
