Andre is a very sweet, 49-pound, 2-year-old boy who can, on occasion, be a bit particular about some other canines I meet. He gets along with many dogs, but appreciates those who are gentle and have polite manners, with a slow and careful introduction. Like many people, he doesn’t appreciate being jumped on. If you have another dog at home, arrange a gentle meet and greet to see how they hit it off. He’s a polite guy, but not keen on living with cats. He’s active and has a love for adventure, which makes his long stay at APS (he’s been at the shelter since April 21) a bit tough for him. He also has brilliant young dog energy, is super playful, a good walker and curious, and would love to go on hikes, hang out at the Eno, splash around in the water and search for bugs to pounce on – so fun! See if you’re a match with Andre today!

Through August, adoption fees for all adoptable dogs and cats are $50 during Clear the Shelters. To set up a virtual visit or to adopt, send adoption forms to adopt@apsofdurham.org. To view Andre’s webpage, visit apsofdurham.org/dogs/andre. Same-day adoptions are now available in the shelter!

Adoption fees for dogs and puppies typically range from $125-$175. This includes a basic medical exam and behavioral assessment, spay or neuter surgery, microchip implantation, rabies and other vaccinations, intestinal parasite check (with treatment, control and prevention), a heartworm test and deworming.


The Animal Protection Society of Durham, located at 2117 E. Club Blvd., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been helping animals in the community since 1970, and has managed the Durham County Animal Shelter since 1990. In addition to county funding, APS relies on donations from individuals and corporations to feed, shelter and provide medical attention for the nearly 7,000 stray, surrendered and abused animals it cares for each year. The shelter is open Mon.-Tue. and Thu.-Fri., 10:30am-5pm; Wed. 10:30am-6pm; and Sat. 10am-2pm. For more information, call 919-560-0640 or visit www.apsofdurham.org.
