My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

For seven long years, Magnolia lived in a world of shadows, silence, and stinging air. She survived a place where the ammonia levels were so high they took the breath away from her rescuers—a place where she was never a `pet,` but merely a producer. Her body carries the map of those hard years. Her skin is thickened from a lifetime of neglect, and her fur is only just beginning to sprout back in soft patches. When you look at her, you see the physical toll of her past, but when she looks at you, she sees a future she never thought possible.

Despite everything Magnolia endured, her spirit remained unbroken. When she arrived to Tails, she had 7 newborn puppies she was caring for, but her story doesn’t stop there. When three tiny, orphaned puppies needed a miracle to survive, Magnolia didn’t hesitate. She took them in as her own, nursing and comforting them, proving that her capacity to love is far greater than the cruelty she once knew.

She is now finally looking for a home of her own, one that can give her the future she deserves. Is that you?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Here’s what to expect when you arrive at TAILS:

A staff member will ask you what sort of pet you are looking for and then will provide you with information about specific pets that appear to be a good fit for your family, taking into consideration such factors as: kids, level of activity, your pet experience, other animals currently in the home, etc. You will be encouraged to interact with the pet or pets of your choice in a private visiting room. We believe that bringing a new pet into your home is an important decision so you’ll have plenty of time to make your decision without feeling rushed. Staff and volunteers will be available throughout this time to answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve made your choice, an adoption counselor will review the adoption contract with you.

You’ll pay the adoption fee. Then you’ll take your new family member home with you!

An animal can be put on hold in person at the TAILS facility during regular adoption hours.

More about this shelter

Our mission: Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.

TAILS Humane Society is a limited admission animal shelter providing a safe haven for almost 2,400 animals each year. We are committed to providing each animal the time and medical care they need to have their best chance at adoption.

TAILS was established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates dedicated to bringing a comprehensive animal shelter to DeKalb. We operated out of an old farmhouse until 2005 when we cut the ribbon on our Barber Greene facility. In 2009, we opened our low cost Spay/Neuter Clinic providing quality, affordable sterilization services to the public. We continue to grow and strengthen our programs and service as we continue to save lives.
