The Animal Protection League of Mercer County was founded in August 2001 by a concerned group of animal lovers who recognized a genuine need in the county for the education of the public regarding proper animal care and treatment. The APLMC is a no kill organization dedicated to saving pets in need in Mercer County, Ohio. We are a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization and welcome any and all tax deductible donations.
The APLMC has strict guidelines regarding the adoption of our pets. We do home visits and you will be required to sign a legally binding contract in which it states that for any reason, a dog adopted from the APLMC will be returned to us at any point in its life.
In a situation where we adopt out a puppy too young to be altered, the adoptive family will be required to send back to us a form from their veterinarian stating the animal has been altered. The APLMC does check with any families that have a pet on a spay/neuter contract to ensure they are altered and will not be producing unwanted pets.
