Tara, who has past experience working in art museums, also commissioned works from Atlanta-based textile artist Olivia Fields to punch up the color in the living space. “I love the wonderful arts and music scene, both downtown and at Duke,” Moira says. “There are always wonderful new restaurants, venues [and things to do], but I also just enjoy walking around and [taking in] the funkiness of Durham. It’s a perfectly sized, walkable city – though I did recently buy a bicycle, and I’m looking forward to exploring that way.” But the feature nearest and dearest to Moira’s heart remains the same reason she chose to move here in the first place: the people. “I have made such an eclectic mix of friends, all with different interests and jobs, ages and backgrounds, all friendly and welcoming,” she says. “In fact, I can’t think of a better word than ‘eclectic’ to describe Durham, and that is what makes it so special.”

Boop
Koi
This 50-pound girl is super smart and will show off how well she knows her “sit,” “shake,” “beg,” “down” and “stay” commands. With lots of brain work and exercise, she will thrive. Boop has been at the shelter since May and is dreaming of the day she can be someone’s loyal companion.
Koi is a kitten with a true zest for life. Once he’s comfortable, Koi can be very playful and lovable. Koi is capable of living a full, healthy life even though he tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus. FeLV-positive cats should live with other cats who have tested positive for FeLV. Koi’s adoption fee has been waived.
Adoption fees for cats are $95 and $50 for the second cat when adopting two together. Adoption fees for dogs and puppies typically range from $125-$175. Fees for other animals vary. Same-day adoptions are now available in the shelter, located at 2117 E. Club Blvd. Send an email to adopt@apsofdurham.org if you are interested in adopting any of the animals in foster care. For more information, visit apsofdurham.org. october/november 2022
