Council meeting features animal shelter showcase urging fosters and adoptions
Summary
At the start of the meeting a shelter representative presented Machiko, described health and behavioral history, and appealed for foster families and adoption during foster month.
A representative from the animal shelter brought Machiko, a female dog, to the council dais and described her as a “sweetest pup” who had nursing-related mastitis and had protected a puppy during playgroup. The presenter said the shelter was caring for hundreds of animals and urged residents to foster or adopt during foster month; she noted some kittens require bottle feeding but there are also older kittens who are easier to place.
The presiding officer thanked the presenter and encouraged residents to visit DeKalb County Animal Services, which the presiding officer identified as the nearby shelter, to adopt or foster animals. The shelter representative emphasized that adopting from foster homes can accelerate available space and help other animals in care.
