I made an appointment just for a routine check up and vaccination for my cat. The appointment was fast, and it was easy to find a time when I could go. Everyone is super friendly and very helpful. I asked for resources on getting my cat spayed and was provided a list of vets near me, as well as low cost clinics, where I could spay her. It was just a great experience all around. It was also fairly cheap, I got a cat package which included all initial cat vaccines, rabies shot (tags are a few dollars) and a stool sample for 100$.

Had been looking to adopt a pet for months but most shelters are not only expensive (you're pretty much just buying the dog at that point) and have very extensive applications and requirements. APA is very straightforward and simple, you show up, choose the pet you like, do a meet and greet in a room and if you decide to bring them home, you just pay the fee and give them your ID. Was able to bring my two kittens home within minutes, they also gave their name tags for free as part of an event, thank you APA

Staff is very difficult and uneasy to work with. They don't seem to really care about dogs getting adopted. Especially the skinny burgundy haired girl very rude.

Full disclosure - I used to work here, I know several people, and now I foster for them. Do I agree with every policy they have? No. That's not something I'll address here (at least, for now). I know they do a damn good job in the STL area animal rescue field and help more animals than most other organizations around (especially certain ones that get a lot more attention). They may not market themselves as "no-kill," but their save rates are better than others who do (another issue for another time). I foster kittens (sometimes pups), and I adopt from them. It's a no-hassle process and a better customer service experience than I have had elsewhere. Whenever I meet someone who needs to re-home a pet, I recommend the APA. There's no wait, no hassle, and their placement rates are second-to-none.

We have two of the best dogs ever at this shelter. Moe and Baby Sir are crowd favorites wherever they go with anyone they encounter, unless they believe that their dad is being threatened. They epitomize the saying, "I rescued them and they rescued me."

Had an appointment at the wellness clinic, and after waiting 5 or so minutes for the receptionist to get off the phone she preceded to tell me I had to reschedule because I was 5 minutes late and then waited 5 mins for her to get off the phone! Never again will I use this clinic!

Love everything about the APA. Go there and give a buddy a forever home. Or at least donate used blankets towels, $$$. Please help. They are overcrowded as most shelters.

I've gone back and forth about posting this review but after sitting on this for a week or so now, I've decided that the best thing to do is warn other people. Background: I have adopted from here before and got a set of black little kittens who became my everything. After a few months of having them, the little boy passed away from a disease that the vet said he could have only gotten from being around other sick cats at the shelter. Thankfully his sister got lucky and did not get it as well. With that being said I understand there are many diseases that go around and that can harm the kittens in the shelter but I reached out shortly after he passed and I never received a response. Present: This past week I went back to find a sibling for my sweet girl and this is the experience that I had. 1. You aren't allowed to hold kittens due to them being so young and to stop the spread of diseases. But, the people working there can be seen cleaning up puke from one cage and going and handling another cat moments later without washing their hands. The toys that are in the cat room are communal and are most likely being used by sick cats and then being used on kittens next. Sick cats are sneezing, coughing and throwing up next to the healthy cats. 2. Read and double check all paperwork on the animal you plan on getting from them. Once I found the kitten that we wanted to add to our family, we went to the front and began the process. As other people have stated in reviews, it is transactional. You bring them the product (animal) you want and are immediately asked for all your information. At no point we're we given any information regarding the kitten we wanted. We got all the way to payment when We noticed that the kittens medical information stated "sick". When we asked what that meant we weren't given much other than "her nose is dripping." At this point we changed our mind due to our last pet dying shortly after getting him from there. Why weren't we informed ahead of time that the kitten was sick and would require us to give her medicine. Why did it seem like they were avoiding telling us that the cat is sick just so that it would get adopted and at that point it would be our responsibility even if she was sick to being with. I also ask myself why on earth they would house one healthy and one sick cat in the same cage together. While this shelter is relatively clean and the workers are kind, I question the level of care given when it comes to handling sickness and customer service in general. I would 100% recommend the Humane Society of Missouri, located not too far from APA. Level of service and care is just 100x better. 9 hours later.... They deleted my review from google and it feels like they're hiding something!!!!

They should really not lie about dog breeds. Especially for people trying to find one that would be suitable for their lifestyle or living situation. They LIED about the puppy breed which I had my doubts about an Aussie/Collie to then find out she is Newfie/Pyrenees. I love her but APA sucks for lying about breeds. I'll just accommodate her and her needs.

Fast and friendly even though they looked super crowded. I went to have a stray cat checked for a chip and she did! She was able to be reunited with her fur daddy all the way in San Antonio, Texas!!!
