Meet this handsome little low-rider! At an estimated 2 years old, this 46-pound hound mix may be short in stature, but he’s overflowing with love. With his adorable build and soulful eyes, he’s the perfect combination of sturdy and sweet.He was found as a stray in Garrett and, sadly, was never claimed. After getting the care and attention he deserved, he was transferred to DeKalb Humane Society, where he’s been winning over everyone he meets.This guy is so friendly — the kind of dog who greets you like an old friend and is always ready for belly rubs or a leisurely stroll. Even better? He’s housebroken and ready to settle right into his new home.If you’re looking for a lovable, easygoing companion with a heart as big as his personality, this short and sweet hound mix might just be your perfect match. 🐾An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

✨ Aurora is ready to light up someone’s world ✨Hi friends! My name is Aurora, and I’m an 11-month-old fluffy bundle of fun who will turn 1 year old on April 25th. Honestly, I think that’s the perfect time for a birthday wish… and my wish is a forever home.I weigh about 59 pounds of pure energy and happiness, and I absolutely love to run, play, and enjoy life. If you have a big backyard, we might just become best friends because zoomies are kind of my specialty.Here are a few things you should know about me:🎾 Professional ball chaser – If you throw it, I will chase it. Every time.🚶 Walk enthusiast – Adventures around the neighborhood are my jam.👧 Kid-approved – I do great with kids and love being part of the fun.☁️ Fluffy and full of personality – Basically a living, breathing teddy bear with extra wiggles.I’m still young, which means I’ve got a lot of life, love, and adventures ahead of me. I’m hoping to find a family who wants a playful, loyal companion and who will help me grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be.So here’s the question…Do you have a backyard that needs zoomies and a home that needs a little more fluff and joy?Because if you do, I think we might be perfect for each other. ❤️Come meet Aurora and see if she’s the missing piece of your family. 🐾An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Maple – a beautiful Rottie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! 🐾Maple recently had a meet-and-greet with another dog and absolutely loved the experience. She’s especially excited to make friends with dogs her own size who are ready to romp, wrestle, and play. Big-dog energy is her vibe! (She would do best in a home without small animals including cats.)Like many shelter dogs, Maple can be a little nervous when meeting new people at first. She just needs a little time to observe and warm up — once she does, her fun, spunky, goofy personality shines through. She’s full of playful antics, loyal to her people, and happiest when she knows her place and routine.Maple has those classic Rottie quirks — smart, expressive, sometimes a little stubborn — but incredibly devoted and eager to bond. With structure, consistency, and lots of love, she will absolutely thrive and become the most loyal companion you could ask for.If you’re looking for a playful, spirited girl who will keep you laughing and love you fiercely, Maple might just be your perfect match. 💛An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

🥒 Hi. It’s me. Pickles. 🐾Yes, that Pickles. No, I am not sour.I’m a 2-year-old terrier/shepherd mix with a very fancy brindle coat and a personality that unfolds like a surprise gift. 🎁 I’ll be honest—I’m a little reserved at first. New people, new places… I like to observe. Judge quietly. Decide if you pass the vibe check.But once I do? Ohhhh buddy.✨ Play mode: ACTIVATED. ✨Toys are my love language. Toss one, squeak one, tug one—I transform into a playful, happy goof who forgets I was ever “shy.” That’s the real me. It just takes a minute.📋 Important Pickles Facts:✔️ Spayed✔️ Vaccinated✔️ Sweet girl with a soft heart✔️ Worth the wait (trust me)If you’re patient, kind, and don’t mind letting me warm up at my own pace, I think we could be something really special.So… want to come meet me and see if I choose you?An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.
