The Animal Protection Society of Durham hosted its annual Walk for the Animals on June 1. Attendees visited Duke University’s East Campus to meet animal-focused vendors and adoptable dogs; enjoy food truck fare, pet contests and activities for furry friends like a canine agility course, sniffari, paw painting and pet portraits; and participate in raffle drawings and a 1.5-mile charity walk. Durham Magazine was a proud sponsor of this year’s event, which surpassed APS’s fundraising goal of $120,000, raising $127,288 to support the thousands of animals that APS cares for each year. The Velvet Hippo Bar & Lounge hosted a “Yappy Hour” after-party with drink specials that benefited APS. 4
