URGENT: ADOPTERS/FOSTERS NEEDED

Due to high intake and overcrowding, we are out of space and even more animals are at risk for euthanasia. We urgently need adopters and foster families to please help us save lives.

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.

Pet Registration

All DeKalb County pet owners must register their pets as required by the law. Doing so not only ensures that Animal Enforcement Officers can contact you if your pet is lost, but the license fee also helps cover the cost of caring for homeless and injured pets in the county shelter. Pet owners whose pets aren’t registered may receive a citation and have to go to court.

If you have found a pet in DeKalb County with a registered rabies tag, look up the rabies tag owner’s information online and help reunite that pet with their family.

If the tag isn’t registered, please visit our Found a Pet page for tips on what to do next before bringing an owned pet to the shelter.
