How would you like to give a loving little puppy a nice home? How about four puppies?

Four Beagle mixed puppies were recently dropped off at the DeKalb Animal Shelter and they are the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Coalition featured “Pets of the Week”. The pups are about eight weeks old.

“Their names are Victoria, Ranger, Capri, and Bronco. They are healthy and playful and would make great pets. They have already had their shots,” said Shelter employee James Wilkerson.

Make arrangements to adopt them today!

For more information call 615-597-1363.

The shelter, located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive, is open Thursday and Friday from noon until 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon.
