Sondra’s Fine Jewelry’s beautiful line of “Precious Paw” jewelry features large or small paw pendants in gold or silver and with or without gemstones or diamonds. Sondra’s donates 30% of each purchase to the APF. Sondra’s is located at 1624 Union Street, Schenectady.

Pet ID Tags
Are your pets wearing ID tags? How about your friends’ and relatives’ pets? Lack of identification is the main reason so many lost pets never find their way home – especially cats. Even indoor cats should be tagged. Simply Tags offers quality engraved ID tags for just $5 each, including shipping. Plus they will donate $1 per order to the APF. Order at simplytags.com and make sure you use the code APFNY at checkout.

Give Us Your Empty Ink and Toner Cartridges
We can get cash for recycling empty cartridges. Drop them off any time!

Workplace Campaigns
If your employer participates in one of the campaigns below, you can direct your contribution to the APF.

Foster Compassion - Adopt a Classroom
Helping stray, abused and abandoned animals in our community is our number one goal. But another top priority is teaching children about responsible pet care and the importance of treating people and animals with kindness and respect. For just $30, you can be part of our Adopt-a-Classroom program and provide an entire classroom with KIND News, an award-winning newspaper, for a year. We have adopted over 100 classrooms, but we receive more subscription requests every year. Please call (518) 374-3944, ext. 119 if you wish to help.

 
Donate Your Unwanted Car, Boat or RV
If you have a vehicle that you no longer want, you can donate it to the APF for the benefit of the animals. It could also mean a tax benefit for you. We work with Cars 4 Causes, a reputable donation program that will handle all the arrangements to quickly and conveniently pick up your vehicle at no cost to you. They will also handle the title transfer and provide a tax-deductible donation receipt. They accept most cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RVs, whether they are running or not. An appointment can be made to have it towed at a specific time. To learn more, click the link above, or call 1-800-766-2273 to speak with a donation representative.
