“Clyde was found as a stray. He has already been neutered. Clyde is goofy, outgoing, and a jumper. He loves to play especially with toys. Clyde needs to be in a home by himself. He prefers to be the only dog and have all the attention. He’s great so please come by and fill out an application for him,” said Shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.

Stop by the animal shelter, call 615-597-3647 (DOGS), or visit facebook. The shelter is currently open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 to 12 noon. Closed Wednesday.

With the March election only weeks away, the DeKalb County Election Commission is reminding voters of some upcoming important dates.

Persons who are not registered need to do so no later than February 3 in order to be eligible to vote in March. “Any new voter registration received after February 3 will not be processed until after the March election,” said Administrator Dennis Stanley. “Therefore, the voter would not be eligible to vote until the August elections.”

In addition, current voters are reminded to keep their residential address up to date with the election office.

“When a voter fails to update their address at the election office, they experience a slight delay when they arrive to vote because they have to fill out a form with the correct address and, on election day, may even have to go to another location to vote,” said Stanley. “That’s why it is very important to update your address with our office. No one wants to experience delays and we want to make the voting process go as smooth as possible.”

“Registering to vote, updating your address, or checking your registration status is easy, fast and secure through the Secretary of State’s online voter registration system at GoVoteTN.com,” he added, “or by simply calling the election office at 597-4146.”

Early voting begins February 12 and runs through February 25. Early voting is held on the first floor of the DeKalb County Courthouse in Smithville. Hours vary and are as follow: Mondays 1 to 5 p.m. (except no voting on Presidents Day); 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays and 9 a.m. until Noon on Saturdays. Election day hours at 15 locations are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
