Animal Protection Society of Durham County

I brought a dog there because by law I was supposed to bring it in order to find the rightful owner. I told them I wanted to adopt her no matter her conditions. They said that they would only kill if she was terminal or aggressive which was not.

They killed her 8 days after without even notice me. Later on, after the discovery (yes I ended up discovering it cause they didn't want to tell me), my husband called them asking for a reason and they said that she was too expensive to fix so no one would have adopt her.

DO NOT BRING ANY ANIMAL HERE UNLESS YOU'RE PLANNING ON KILL THEM.

My dog had to sit in a cage for a week, lost tons of weight, felt abandoned, and then they murdered her.

We adopted a cat last Saturday from the APS and are very pleased. The staff were all very caring, helpful, and professional. This is our second cat adopted there, and we have been impressed with their entire process of screening families, allowing visitation with the cats, and providing initial medical treatment. They do everything they can to make sure it is a good match. Thank you SO much!

i like the durham animal shelter.

I have been very disapointed with this agency. I have tired to adopt several times and had my heart broken when I was told the amimal was not in condition to be adopted and in 1 occasion, was put to sleep. It would be nice to know these amimals are health ready for adoption before allowing someone to become attached to and have their heart set on a particular pet.
