DeKalb County Animal Services highlights adoptions, brings shelter dog 'Neo' to Chamblee council meeting
Summary
A DeKalb County Animal Services representative brought a dog named Neo to the Chamblee council meeting, reported the shelter population at about 487 (target 475), announced fee-waived adoption events and an October opening of a 'pet neighborhood' to improve animal housing.
A representative from DeKalb County Animal Services presented at the Sept. 16 Chamblee City Council meeting with a dog named Neo and urged residents to consider adoption, fostering or short-term care. The presenter said Neo is around 7 years old and described him as "super super sweet" and friendly with people and other dogs.
The presenter reported current shelter numbers at about 487 animals and said the team is aiming to reduce that to 475; for the past two weeks the shelter had no euthanasia list. The representative also promoted fee-waived adoption events (this weekend all dogs would be fee-waived) and a planned 'pet neighborhood' opening in October to improve housing for animals. Contact information and outreach were provided for those interested in adopting or fostering.
