Story
June Bug is ready to trade kennel life for a cozy couch and a family to call her own. Estimated to be around 8 years old, this sweet senior girl still has plenty of love left to give. She absolutely adores people and happily soaks up every bit of attention she can get. June Bug doesn’t seem to mind other dogs either, but a meet and greet is still required to make sure everyone is a good fit.She’s housebroke, spayed, and up to date on her vaccines, so she’s more than ready to settle right into home life. June Bug came to us as a transfer from animal control, and now she’s hoping her next stop is her forever home.Her adoption fee is a monetary donation of your choice, because what matters most is finding her the loving home she deserves. All she’s asking for is a comfy couch, some loving humans, and of course unlimited pup cups along the way. 🐾If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who’s ready to spend her golden years by your side, June Bug is your girl. 💕An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Obadiah—affectionately known as Obie-Bear 🐻—a gentle soul with a heart full of love just waiting to shine.Obie-Bear came from a litter where, unfortunately, not every pup was able to find a home right away. Thankfully, a kind and dedicated caretaker stepped in and gave him the love, safety, and attention he deserved. Because of that, Obie has grown into an incredibly sweet, affectionate dog who truly adores people—seriously, ALLLLLL people. If you’ve got love to give, he’s already your biggest fan.That said, Obie-Bear is a sensitive guy. New situations can make him a little nervous, and when he’s unsure—like around doorways or on a leash—he tends to freeze up. He’s not being stubborn—he’s just looking for reassurance. What he needs is a patient, understanding person who can show him the world isn’t so scary and help him build confidence at his own pace.The beautiful thing? Once he feels safe, his personality starts to blossom into that happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging companion he’s meant to be. Another confident dog in the home would do wonders for him—he takes comfort in having a buddy to show him the ropes and help him feel secure.Obie-Bear is the kind of dog who will bond deeply with his person. He’s soft, loving, and full of quiet potential. With a little patience and a lot of love, he’s going to become someone’s absolute best friend.If you’re the kind of person who believes in helping a shy dog find his confidence, Obie-Bear is ready to give you his whole heart 💛An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.
