Animal Intake Services
FAPL provides intake services for those who need to surrender their animal(s). Please note that we are a managed intake facility and reserve the right to decline your animal admission into our shelter. Intakes are also APPOINTMENT BASED. We cannot accept animals that show up to our shelter without an appointment.
Dog Training Services
Friendship APL has teamed up with Rogers Dog Professionals to provide dog training classes for the community. The Life Skills Class will strengthen the bond between you and your pet, while teaching them the skills they need to navigate our world.
Humane Investigation Services
FAPL employs Lorain County's humane officers, who investigate animal neglect, abuse, and abaondonment in our county. They are law enforcement officials that educate the community, impound animals when necessary, and file criminal charges pursuant to violations of Ohio's animal cruelty statutes.
Pet Food Pantry
Our new Pick-Up Pet Pantry System makes receiving pet food and supplies more convenient! Participants will need to fill out a request form specifying their pet’s needs. If approved, you’ll be able to select a designated day and time for pick-up. This ensures that we have your requested items ready and helps reduce wait times.
