Shelter Tours

Teachers & groups may schedule a visit to the APS of Durham/Durham County Animal Shelter. Students will learn about shelter operations, including how animals come to the shelter, how they’re adopted or reclaimed by the families (or their owners) and the pet overpopulation problem.

Students will receive a tour of the shelter and also may be given the opportunity to play with a shelter dog or cat after learning about the shelter’s safety rules. Email  education@apsofdurham.org for more information.
