The Cleveland APL's programs primarily serve Cuyahoga County, but the organization is committed to assisting as many animals and people beyond those borders whenever our resources and capacity for care allow.

By law, the Cleveland APL's jurisdiction for humane law enforcement is limited to Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
