Adopt a Pet for Less

DeKalb County will join a nationwide effort on Monday, June 11 to increase the number of pet adoptions and ensure cages and pens are emptier than when the day starts.

During today's Just One Day adoption event, set for 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., DeKalb County Animal Services will focus efforts on adoptions only for the day and discount the adoption fee to $60 through Friday, June 15. Adorable puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs will put their best paws forward to encourage residents to open their hearts and homes and adopt at 845 Camp Road, Decatur.

In U.S. animal shelters, an average of 10,411 are euthanized in one day. To further underscore the importance of adoption, DeKalb County has taken the pledge to not engage in euthanasia on June 11.
