How to Help - DeKalb County Animal Services

WINTER WEATHER IMPACTING SHELTER HOURS

Due to the winter weather anticipated in Atlanta on Tuesday, 1/21, the DeKalb County Animal Services shelter will close early to the public at 4pm. After this time, Field Services Officers will be responding to calls on an emergency basis. We intend to reopen normal hours on Wednesday, 1/22, but will keep our community updated.

The DeKalb County Animal Shelter is out of housing space. We’re asking our community for help with stray pets so we can focus on emergency and critical situations. Animals in need will not and should not be abandoned. If you have found a healthy pet, please fill out a Found Pet Report.
If you need other assistance, please email pethelp@dekalbanimalservices.com.
Response time is delayed due to incredibly high volumes of animals and people in need of assistance.

RABIES ALERT:
Residents in the area of Luxuria Court in Tucker should be aware that a RACCOON exposed to a family pet was captured on March 12, 2024. Test results later revealed the raccoon to be POSITIVE for RABIES.
