The shelter has been Kyle’s home away from home since February but he really needs a forever home.

WJLE first featured Kyle in March.

“We need to find this sweet boy a home. He has been here since February so we have decided that we are going to offer a reduced adoption fee for Kyle to get him a home. He is wonderful. He is great with people including kids and has a lot of personality. He is a lover. We ask that if you have another pet that you bring the pet for a meeting so we can see how Kyle does with other pets. He has been great here and is a good boy but we want to do a formal introduction with your pets but please no cats. Dogs only. Send in your application on our website we will contact you and set up that appointment with you and your pet,” said Shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.

“If you would like to meet “Kyle” go to our website under our adoptable animals tab at https://www.dekalbanimalshelter.com/ and you will be called to set up an appointment after you fill out an adoption application. For more information call 615-597-3647 or send a message on facebook or email,” said Bennett.

Do you need dog or cat food?

The DeKalb Animal Shelter and Friends Group partner each month in hosting a food pantry for pets.

The next one is Friday, May 21 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the shelter on Transfer Station Road off Highway 70 east in Smithville behind Tenneco Automotive. The pet food is free. Just drive through and someone will bring it to your vehicle in the pickup line.

Does your dog or cat need to be microchipped.

The DeKalb Animal Shelter is hosting a free microchip clinic at the shelter on Saturday, May 22 from 10 a.m. until noon in partnership with a microchipping company. Fifty free microchips will be provided to residents of DeKalb County.  Registration forms are available. There is no charge to register or for yearly registration updates.

The goal is to eventually microchip all pets or as many as possible.

For more information phone 615-597-3647.
