Older dogs need love too!
Meet “Matilda”, the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”
“Matilda is one of our senior residents here at the shelter. We want to highlight these older pets because they often get overlooked. Matilda is 8 years old and she has already been spayed and up to date on everything. She is in overall good health. Matilda gets along well with other dogs, children, and older people. She is an all around good dog. Her adoption fee has been reduced to $20. We really want to find Matilda a home because she has been here for a while,” said shelter director Emmaly Bennett.
“If you are interested in adopting Matilda please check out the adoptable pet’s link on our website at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/to fill out an application and see her picture and we will call you to come in and meet her. Please give us a call so we can find Matilda a good home,” said Bennett.
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.
