Older dogs need love too!
Meet “Matilda” the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”
“Matilda is one of our senior babies. She is about 9-10 years old. Matilda is a super sweet girl and loves everyone. She has spent the majority of her life outdoors, but we don’t think it would be impossible for her to learn to be an indoor dog. Matilda is really cuddly. She had a bad injury on her back but has recovered and everything is ok now. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her vaccinations. Matilda has been micro-chipped and heart worm screened and has a great bill of health. Her adoption fee is only $80 and is sponsored by our “Friends Of” Organization,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett.
“Visit our website at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ to see her picture, fill out an adoption application for Matilda and we will call you to come in and meet her,” said Bennett.
The shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 at 186 Transfer Station Road.
