About APB
Tell your friends! 
Who we are
The Animal Placement Bureau is a volunteer foster care network with no paid staff and no sheltering facility. All of the dogs in our care live with our volunteers and become as much a part of their family as their own dogs.
All donations are tax deductible!
APB is recognized federally as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose primary goal is to place homeless dogs into loving, lifelong homes.
Note: this does not include adoption fees - please consult your tax advisor for details that fit your situation.
Expenses
APB is funded solely by private donations and fundraisers and does not receive any state, local, or federal funding. Our major expenses are the result of the extensive medical care we provide for each dog in our care including wormings, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgeries.
Financial Disclosure
In return for being tax exempt and receiving tax deductible contributions, Congress requires all 501(c)(3) organizations to disclose information about their organization to the public. Normally any public requests must be disclosed on the day they are received, along with paper copies if requester asks for them. However, APB decided that a simple solution to this requirement would be to make these documents freely available on our website. Click here to view the current APB documentation.
Foster care
Foster parents are always being sought by APB. A nurturing environment is as vital to our dogs as the medical care they receive. Many of our dogs have endured a lifetime of abuse or neglect, and the personal care they receive in foster homes is crucial to their ability to be placed successfully into a permanent home. An invaluable understanding of each dog's behavior and personality is gained in foster homes, an advantage that sheltered agencies can't provide.
APB is a no-kill animal welfare agency
There is no time limit on our foster care system. When asked, "What happens if your dogs don't get adopted?" we are proud to be able to say, "They come back home with us until we find just the right home for them -- NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES."
Adoption from APB
If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, call 517.346.4505, view our dogs online, or Email us at info@apbpets.com
Each prospective adopter is required to complete an application, and if approved, will then proceed to an extensive, legally-binding contract. A donation is required at the time of adoption to help off-set APB's costs.
Finding a home for your dog
If you find you can no longer keep your dog, call APB. We team with a network of animal behaviorists to offer assistance to private owners. If the problem cannot be resolved, your dog will be welcomed into our foster care program pending an evaluation. If foster care isn't available immediately, owners are encouraged to bring their dog to our bimonthly adoptions until a home opens, up. For more information on placing your dog with APB click here

HANNA - DOG DAY POSTER DOG
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Hanna is such a sweet girl and she is soooo easy going and very laid back. She is a total people pleaser and will do whatever you ask her to. She loves to be with her people and loves the positive attention she receives.
She is working very hard on manners as she was not previously taught the proper way to behave. Her biggest issue is jumping on people and putting her paws on the counter. But she is very smart girl and has already quickly caught on to so many things and is doing well in her foster home.
Hanna is a very quiet and loving girl. She gets along very well with her foster friends and enjoys racing around the yard and playing with them. She loves to jump in the pool and cool off and splash around with her friends. Hanna does well in the car and loves to go for rides.
If you are interested in Hanna, please email julemson@wmol.com.
