“Rocky, a Black Lab mix, and Harley, a Blue Heeler mix, were owner surrenders so they came from the same household. They are our senior pets this week. They are really sweet babies. Both get along with other dogs and love people. We’re not sure about how they do with children or cats so if you are interested in adopting them please set up an appointment to meet Rocky and Harley and you may bring your children or cat to see how well they get along,” said Shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.
Rocky and Harley are among six senior pets currently at the shelter and all are available for adoption at $50 each. The fee covers the cost of spay or neuter and all up to date vaccinations..
“To adopt Rocky and Harley, go to our website. www.dekalbanimalcoalition.org and look for a tab to fill out an application. Fill it out and email it back to us. We will call to set up an appointment time for you to come in and meet them to see if they are a perfect fit for you,” said Bennett.
The DeKalb Animal Shelter is currently only open by appointment due to Covid-19.
“If you are interested in any of our dogs and cats fill out an adoption application and send it to our email. We will call and set up a time for you to come in and meet your favorite pet and go from there. We are not currently open to the public for in-person visits but all our pets are posted online. Stay up to date with us on our website, facebook page, or Instagram,” said Shelter Director Megan Moore.
