The Ashtabula County Animal Protective League is a pet shelter and humane society in Ashtabula, Ohio, that serves animals and pet owners across Ashtabula County. The organization takes in dogs and cats who are sick, injured, neglected, homeless, or whose owners can no longer care for them, and works to place them in permanent homes. ACAPL accepts owner surrenders and stray cats as space and resources allow, and its mission also includes promoting spay and neuter, responsible pet ownership, and humane education. The shelter holds a rating of 4.10.
ACAPL operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit humane society and provides temporary care for the parent-less pets of Ashtabula County until they can be matched with adoptive families. Each animal receives medical and behavioral support, and the organization manages its intake carefully so that animals already in its care receive focused attention, treatment, and compassion. ACAPL operates an unlimited stay shelter, meaning it does not euthanize any animal for space or time constraints, and adoptable animals remain at the shelter until a home is found. Its live outcome rate has been increasing since 2018 and was over 94% in 2025, when 1,107 animals came through its doors into its care. In 2024, 1,080 animals entered the ACAPL's care. The shelter also offers limited resources and referrals to help keep pets in their homes and prevent unnecessary surrender. ACAPL no longer serves as a stray-hold facility for dogs; those who find a stray dog are directed to the Ashtabula County Dog Warden.
The shelter is located at 5970 Green Road in Ashtabula, Ohio, and can be reached at 440-224-1222. Hours of operation are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 12 PM to 5 PM, Wednesday and Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM, and the shelter is closed on Monday, with adoptions ending 30 minutes before close each day. ACAPL is supported by donors, volunteers, and fosters, and runs ongoing fundraisers and events. A weekly partnership with PetFix transports cats or dogs from the facility to Euclid for spay and neuter services until the shelter is able to hire a veterinarian and build an appropriate space on site. The organization's EIN is 34-6004922.
