🚨 10 DeKalb Dogs Need Homes Tonight 💛

🚨 10 sweet DeKalb dogs are on the shelter’s official at-risk list tonight, and DeKalb County Animal Services is out of kennel space. Let’s get every one of them a foster, rescue or forever home! 💛🐾

These pups are at DeKalb County Animal Services in Chamblee, run by LifeLine Animal Project. They landed on the shelter’s daily Dogs Most At Risk page because the shelter is over capacity, not because they did anything wrong. DeKalb was at 520 dogs on a 475-dog target when we checked. There is no per-dog deadline posted, but this list changes every day. Scroll down to meet all 10, and please share this post with everyone you know in the Atlanta area! 🙏

5. Freedom (DCAS) 💛

Freedom is a sweet senior girl, about 11 years and 51 lbs, with pretty brindle coloring and a big smile. She hopped up on a bench for kisses and pets. She walks well on leash, a little slowly, because the walk itself is the fun.
