Adoptable Pet of the Week: Murray

Share This!

Are you ready to go, go, go? Then Murray might be the guy for you! He’s a very active and playful dude with plenty of energy to spare – he loves to chase balls, eat treats and just be silly. He’d do great in a forever home with someone who can give him plenty of playtime, lots of exercise and basic training.

For the month of June and July, APS is offering a pick-your-price promotion, where you decide what you’d like to pay for your cat, kitten or large dog. To set up a virtual visit or to adopt, send adoption forms to [email protected]. To view Murray’s webpage, visit apsofdurham.org/dogs/murray. 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, spay or neuter surgery, microchip implantation, rabies and other vaccinations, intestinal parasite check, a heartworm test and deworming.

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.
