Workers with the shelter say the overcrowding takes a toll on their staff, volunteers, and the dogs themselves.
Due to the overcrowding, many of the dogs are at risk of euthanasia.
One example of a dog that desperately needs a forever home is Beck Oliver.
He’s 4 years old, weighs 82 lbs., is friendly with kids and other dogs.
He is “easy on a leash”, non-destructive, and almost never barks!
He’s potty trained, knows basic commands, and does great when left alone.
There is no fee to adopt Beck Oliver.
The DeKalb County Animal Services shelter is open 7 days a week starting at 11 a.m.
It closes at 7 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
They are located at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.
