DeKalb County Animal Services

Hours: DeKalb County Animal Services is a busy and overcrowded animal shelter that works tirelessly to avoid euthanizing the animals in their care. Despite the challenges they face, the staff is praised for their kindness, dedication, and resilience in providing excellent care to the over 400 dogs and countless cats they house. The shelter offers opportunities for the community to get involved, such as the "Dog for a Day" program, which allows people to take dogs out for walks and playtime without being a registered volunteer. This is especially important as the staff struggles to provide enough attention and exercise for all the animals. Reviewers express gratitude for the shelter's efforts, particularly in cases where they were able to help stray or injured animals. The staff is described as compassionate, offering condolences and comfort to those bringing in animals that need to be humanely euthanized. Overall, DeKalb County Animal Services is seen as a valuable resource for the community, doing the best they can under challenging circumstances to care for the area's homeless and abandoned pets. Volunteering or supporting the shelter through the Lifeline Animal Project is encouraged for those who want to make a difference.
