“This litter of puppies, nine altogether, just came in and they have had their first vaccines and are now ready for adoption. They are Red Heeler Australian Shepherd Mixed and super cute. They are going to be great outdoor dogs. If you like to spend a lot of time hiking or on a farm, they will be great for you,” said Shelter Director Megan Moore.
The DeKalb Animal Shelter is currently only open by appointment due to Covid-19.
“To adopt any or all of the puppies go to our website. www.dekalbanimalcoalition.org and look for a tab to fill out an application. Fill it out and email it back to us. We will call to set up an appointment time for you to meet them. We are not currently open to the public for in-person visits but all our pets are posted online. Stay up to date with us on our website, facebook page, or Instagram,” said Moore.
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.
A Volunteer orientation will be held at the shelter on Saturday, August 1 from 12 noon until 1 p.m. for anyone who would like to volunteer. Phone 615-597-3647 (DOGS) for more information.
