About Our Rescue Group
The Humane Society of DeKalb County is an organization made up of volunteers who are working to end pet overpopulation in DeKalb County, TN. These individuals use personal resources, fundraisers, donations and grant money to provide humane care and permanent homes for homeless animals in our community. Through spay/neuter programs, we are attempting to eliminate pet overpopulation in DeKalb County. We do not have a shelter and rely on volunteers to foster our animals until we can find them a permanent home.

Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and you'll
have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting
a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats
for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs
and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of
dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed
is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten
breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat
or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt
a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane
society or pet rescue group.
