She’s beautiful, healthy, well behaved, and she could be yours!
Meet Darlene, the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”.
“Darlene is about two years old,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett. “She is an Alaskan Malamute, maybe mixed. We don’t have a huge back story on Darlene. She showed up on someone’s property and they cared for her until she was brought to the shelter. Darlene is incredibly well mannered and behaved. She knows how to sit, stay, and is leash trained. She loves people including children as well as other dogs. She is a great family dog. We would love to see her go to a family that is active. These dogs do have a lot of energy so Darlene would do well with outdoorsy people, those who would want to take her for walks, or just hang out with her outdoors. Darlene is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and micro-chipped. Her adoption fee is only $80. Now is the time to adopt from us here at the shelter because we have reduced most of our fees,” said Bennett.
“If you are interested in adopting Darlene please check out the adoptable pets 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 Darlene 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.
Meanwhile the DeKalb Animal Shelter will host an adoption event Saturday, January 28 from 9 to 12 at Tractors Supply from 9-12 and Darlene will be one of the featured pets there if she has not already been adopted by then.
