If you’re longing for a good pet companion to start the new year, come see “Chief” at the DeKalb Animal Shelter.
This beautiful two-and-a-half-year-old Akita mix is the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week.”
“Chief has been here for quite a while”, said Nicole Charles. “He is a loving dog with medium energy. Chief loves to go out in our yard and have a good run and he will lay out as long as we have him out there. When he comes into the office, Chief can relax in here with us. He enjoys being around the people he knows. He has been tested with some dogs so if you have another dog, please schedule an appointment and bring him in so we can test Chief with your dog. Chief has not yet been tested with cats. He is already neutered, and he will come fully vaccinated when you adopt him. Chief’s adoption fee is only $80 so schedule an appointment to come and meet him before he’s gone,” said Charles.
“If you are interested in adopting Chief, please check out the adoptable pet’s link on our website to fill out an application at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ and we will call you to come in and meet him,” said Charles.
The shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 at 186 Transfer Station Road. Phone 615-597-3647.
