Christmas is just a month away and what better time to bring a new pet into your home.

Meet “Rousch”, the WJLE/ DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”

DeKalb Animal Shelter Director Megan Moore and Jennifer Angaran with Rousch from dwayne page on Vimeo.

“Rousch is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees and has been neutered. He came here with his sister Shelby and both are available for adoption. Their housing changed and could no longer have a fenced in farm area to live in so they need a new home. Both are fantastic with people including kids and other dogs and they would be a great addition to your farm, fenced in area or your family. They love attention. Both have been groomed and love to go out on a walk. If you have room for a large dog and a good companion, call us to make an appointment to come and meet these guys,” said Shelter Director Megan Moore.
