Founded in 1962, the Animal Protection Society of Orange County (APS) is the leading animal welfare organization for Orange County and surrounding areas, with a mission to build a compassionate community for animals. The 50-acre APS Felicité Latané Animal Sanctuary houses a premier dog training program serving 1,000 dogs and their owners per year, a three-acre dog park with 175 members, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic providing 2,000 spay/neuter surgeries per year, and the new APS Animal Adoption Center which opened in October 2004. The APS Adoption Center saves and adopts out up to sixty homeless, adoptable dogs and cats per month from the public animal shelters in Orange, Durham, Chatham, and Caswell counties, serving as a resource center to help shelters and their communities increase their adoption rates.
APS is fortunate to be at the forefront of an emerging national movement to save more and more animals through public education, provision of low-cost spay/neuter services, and progressive animal adoptions and dog training based on new understanding about animal behavior. APS has a network of 4,000 supporters, 1,500 donors, 160 volunteers, and 40 dog training instructors, and relies entirely on modest program fees and donations from the public. APS is a tax-exempt charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). All donations to the APS are tax-deductible.
