We just picked up our new family member (7 month old kitten). The facility is clean and well staffed. We are very happy with our new bundle of love.

I hope your animal never gets lost in the first place, but I desperately hope that if your pet does wander off and is taken somewhere to be housed until you find them, they are NEVER taken to the Durham Co. Animal Shelter. Its was a concrete cell. Not even hay to lay on. My dog lost his voice, his hair and his waistline. I'm completely disgusted.

Came to look and possibly arrange to meet a foster. Ended up coming home with the sweetest dog. The humans are so helpful. We were even allowed to see how our adoptee would do with a cat. They are swimming in kittens as of July 2022. The kitty room was such a treat full of playful babies. They can definitely use your support with donations and extra food and treats. Such a worthwhile place to help.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any need for foster care?

Dalia Koelling | Sep 14, 2020

Not sure. Call and inquire about this. Pretty sure they would welcome this idea.

Do you guys have teacup puppies

Audrey Garcia | Sep 14, 2020
Ella Thomas | Sep 14, 2020

there is actually no such thing as a "teacup" puppy and this puppy is normally just the result of 2 runts being bred together. these dogs run risks of heart problems, lung problems, shortened life span, and many other health problems. at the APS, they do not identify the animals by breed and thus do not know how large they will be when they get older! they do normally have small breed dogs that would be a lot healthier and need loving homes too. <3

We got a German Shepard puppy and the behavior has gotten out of control. She bites, scratches, and jumps. We don't know how to train her nor do we have the money at the moment to put her in training. Should we give her up or are we overreacting?

Greg | Sep 15, 2019
Animal Protection Society of Durham | Sep 15, 2019

We have many resources at our front desk regarding puppy behaviors. Come in to talk more about training and what our rehoming process is. We'd love to give you as many resources to have more success before considering rehoming.

I have a 12 y/o cat that I've had since he was a kitten. I love him dearly but I am 70 now and he is very sick and I can't afford the medicine and food he needs. What do I do?

Elaine Anderson | Sep 15, 2019
Sydney B | Sep 15, 2019

I adopted my cat from here, but would not bring a sick cat here to re-home it, as they do have to euthanize many animals. If your cat is possibly going to be euthanized it is better for you to be with him in his last moments...not an unfamiliar place with strangers. Please call your vet to discuss less expensive options for your cat's care, including whether euthanizing is the right choice. Please don't give up your pet. Good luck.

Angelica McNeil | Sep 15, 2019
Rodney Coffin Jr. | Sep 15, 2019

I saw a small dog is that dog still available?

Pinkey Dunston | Sep 15, 2019
Laura | Sep 15, 2019

You will have to come in to find out. The smaller ones tend to go quickly so if you see one you like, a deposit needs to be placed on it while your application gets processed.

Can the shelter keep my dog if I am going out of town for a couple of weeks and if so what would be the charge.

Brenda Watson | Sep 15, 2019
Laura | Sep 15, 2019

It is not a boarding facility. You have have to sign your rights to the animal over to them for them to take your dog in. That place is there to find animals homes, not hold on to them while people go on vacation.

I'M looking to adopt a cat what are your fees?

Shirley Watkins | Sep 15, 2019
