In honor of Deaf Dog Awareness Week, the Animal Protection Society of Durham is showcasing its resident deaf pup, Magenta! She’s been spending the summer with APS staff and volunteers, jumping into every puddle and pool she can find, and has even picked up a few hand signs! Magenta is a busy bee with lots of energy. She loves to chase a ball and play the day away! She likes people so much that she can be a little rough in her enthusiasm. She’ll need basic training, four-on-the-floor and calming exercises. She’s food-motivated and will be so much fun to train, but she learns a little differently because she’s deaf. Visit Magenta’s webpage to learn more and come visit her at APS today!
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. APS of Durham is open to the public for adoptions and animal visitations. To set up a virtual visit or to adopt, send adoption forms to adopt@apsofdurham.org. Same-day adoptions are now available in the shelter. For more information, email adopt@apsofdurham.org.
