“Poseidon” needs you!
The WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week” not only needs a home but a surgery and you can help!
“We think Poseidon is about eight months old. He came to us as a stray. He has an old injury to his hip and needs surgery. He is looking for a home but we would prefer him to have his surgery before he goes to his home,” said Shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.

“We are doing a fundraiser for him. Its going to cost us about $800 so look on our facebook page for ways you can donate to this little guy,” she said
“Poseidon is looking for a home. He is a lot of fun and he gets along well with other dogs. We haven’t introduced him to cats yet but he is pretty laid back so I’m sure he will do well with cats as well,” added Bennett.
Stop by the animal shelter soon and fill out an application, call 615-597-3647 (DOGS), or visit facebook. The shelter is currently open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 to 12 noon. Closed Wednesday.
Located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive
