“Scrappy has already been neutered. He is a big boy but he is so cuddly. He loves everybody including kids and gets along well with dogs and other cats. He is just a good lap housecat,” said shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.

“He is up to date on all his vaccines and we are offering him at a special price of $20 to an approved application to find his perfect home,” added Shelter Director Megan Moore.

“We are still doing everything by appointment only. Give us a call and we can walk you through that process or visit our facebook page. You can find our adoption application at dekalbanimalcoalition.org. On the adopt tab scroll all the way to the bottom to find the application and send it to our email and we will call you and schedule an appointment,” said Bennett.

The shelter, located on Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive off Highway 70 east in Smithville, has been in operation since November, 2017 under the DeKalb Animal Coalition, a 501 c 3 non profit organization.

New services are on the way for those who make use of the driver license self-service kiosk in the DeKalb County Clerk’s Office.

The Department of Safety and Homeland Security has announced that the new software update will begin at 6:00 PM CDT on Monday, September 14.

“These updates will be remotely pushed to the kiosk,” said County Clerk James L. (Jimmy) Poss.

“More DeKalb County residents have been taking advantage of the driver license/ID renewal kiosk in recent years. For example, 502 kiosk transactions were successfully completed in 2014 and that grew to 1,653 in 2019,” said Poss

“Although this machine is designed to be for self-service use, a majority of the kiosk transactions require assistance in order for them to be successfully completed and we often have to contact the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Office to resolve kiosk operation issues or to keep it maintained and in proper working order, ”he added.

New services that will be available after the upgrade are as follows:

1.Renew a Handgun Carry Permit (Enhanced Only)

2.Order a Duplicate of Handgun Carry Permit (Enhanced, Lifetime, and Concealed Carry)

3.Upgrade to a Lifetime Handgun Carry Permit (Enhanced Only)

5.Reissue driving privilege after Reinstating; (If Customer has an ID, he/she must visit a Driver Services Center for re-issuance of the DL)
