The APA Wins New Kennels for Its Dogs in the Monsanto Grow St. Louis Contest!

Thanks to overwhelming community support for our Kennels for Canines project, the dogs of the APA will have new kennels! The winners of the Monsanto Grow St. Louis contest were announced Tuesday, and the APA was one of five organizations chosen to win a $20,000 prize.

We greatly appreciate all the help we received in winning this wonderful prize. We absolutely could not have done it without the tremendous dedication of our friends in the community who voted for us every day during the contest. Thank you so much! Dogs of the APA will benefit from these kennels for decades to come.

Adoptable pups like Bruiser thank you, too! You've just increased his chances for adoption! Bruiser is a big ole sweetie who is approximately 3 years old. This friendly and affectionate guy loves everyone he meets and can't wait to lavish kisses on them. Bruiser's favorite activity is taking a good, long walk. He is a loyal pal who wants to find his new best friend.
