If you prefer to direct your donation to a specific fund, you can restrict your donation to one of the the following special funds:
Adoption Assistance Fund: This crucial fund allows APS to reduce adoption fees during our adoption events and help us find homes for adoptable animals. Adoption fees cover the following for all adopted animals: medical exams, de-worming, immunizations, microchipping, spay/neuter surgeries, heartworm testing (for dogs), and FLV/FIV testing (for cats).
Spay and Neuter Community Fund: In 2009, APS implemented a voucher program to assist pet owners with the cost of sterilizing their animals. In 2024, we provided 1,045 low-cost appointments to Durham residents to remove the main barrier that many of our community pet owners face: cost. Through the APS Spay and Neuter Community Fund, you can help us make a difference in the lives of our community and help end the pet overpopulation crisis.
Tiffany Fund for Life-saving Medical Treatment: As an open access shelter, we often take in animals who have extensive injuries or serious medical conditions the treatment of which presents us with real challenges. This fund provides the resources for specialized medical or surgical treatment for animals in need.
Tribute Gifts: Tribute donation are a thoughtful way to celebrate special occasions or give sympathy by honoring the memory of a pet, friend or relative. When you make a tribute gift, APS will both acknowledge your contribution and notify the honoree or other designated individual(s) such as family members, provided you supply the necessary name and contact information.
