Since its inception, AMA has saved countless sick, injured, and abused pet companions from near death, domestically and abroad. After an incredible amount of generosity from their supporters throughout the years, AMA has achieved its long term goal of opening its doors to a 1200sq ft space with clean enclosures and a fenced in outdoor space. Through efficient operations, adequate awareness, and public support, AMA continues to create loving futures and erase painful pasts.
