Story
Meet Milo!Milo originally came to us after being found as a stray in Garrett. He spent his stray hold at the Garrett Holding Facility before coming to DeKalb Humane Society, where he was adopted into what we hoped would be his forever home. Unfortunately, after his family split up, no one was able to keep Milo, and through no fault of his own, he has found himself back with us and looking for a new family.Milo is a sweet, energetic boy who absolutely loves people. He has a big personality and loves being part of whatever is happening around him. Milo is a happy, affectionate guy who enjoys attention and spending time with his humans. He is a little on the chunky side and could benefit from staying active and getting plenty of exercise, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit!Milo is already trained and is a smart boy who knows his manners. He can be strong and enthusiastic, so he would do best with a family who understands his energy and can continue providing him with structure, playtime, and love.Milo would make a wonderful companion for an active person or family. A meet and greet with any dogs in the home is required before adoption, and his compatibility with cats is currently unknown.Milo has so much love to give and is ready for the fresh start he deserves. He can’t wait to leave the shelter behind and find the family who will love him forever.An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt. Dog adoption fees are $250.00 for all puppies and adult dogs. Seniors are a donation of choice.Cats and kittens are minimum donation $50.00

Story
Meet Bear! 🐻🐾Bear is a sweet, playful young guy who is ready to find a family of his own. He loves attention, enjoys spending time with his people, and has been described as a great listener. He’s still young, so he’d love a home that will keep him active, continue teaching him new things, and include him in the fun.Bear has previously lived with children and cats and did well with both. His experience with other dogs is still unknown, so a meet-and-greet would be the best way to see how everyone gets along.He’s also working on his housetraining and has a pretty helpful way of letting you know when it’s time to head outside — he’ll whine to get your attention. When left alone, Bear may bark for a few minutes at first, but he settles once he realizes everything is okay.And one important Bear fact? Baths are definitely not on his list of favorite activities. 😂Bear is an affectionate, energetic dog with lots of love to give. He’s looking for someone who can offer him consistency, companionship, plenty of playtime, and a place where he can truly become part of the family. ❤️Come meet Bear at DeKalb Humane Society!An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
🚨 SPEEDY GIRL ALERT 🚨Meet Winnie, a 10-month-old Lab/Red Heeler mix with long legs, a wagging tail, and somewhere VERY important to be. 😂💨At around 40 pounds, Winnie is tall, slim, adorable, and apparently part racecar once she gets outside. She loves to run, loves attention, and when the pets start, that tail goes into full windshield-wiper mode. 💛Winnie has done well with dogs AND cats, and she’s perfectly content hanging out when left home alone. She’s also spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her next adventure!Now, is Winnie a finished product? Nope. She’s 10 months old — she’s basically a furry teenager. 😅 She still needs help with housetraining and listening to her humans, so she’s looking for someone patient, consistent, and willing to keep teaching her the ropes.The good news? Winnie has no history of aggression or biting. She’s just a young, energetic girl who needs the right person to help all that potential click into place.If your ideal dog is sweet, silly, speedy, and always ready to wag like there’s no tomorrow… Winnie would like to submit her application. 🐾💛An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Meet Marla! 🖤🐾Tiny paws. Tiny nose. BIG potential to steal your heart. 😍Marla is an adorable 6-week-old mixed-breed puppy weighing just about 6.5 pounds. She recently arrived at the shelter as a stray, and now this little girl is ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family of her very own.At her age, Marla is basically a blank slate — ready to learn all about toys, treats, walks, snuggles, house training, and all the other important puppy things. 🥹We’re still learning about her as she settles in, but one thing is already obvious: she is ridiculously cute.If you’ve been waiting for a little shadow to grow up by your side, Marla might just be your girl. 💕Come meet Marla at DeKalb Humane Society! 🐶An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
Becky with the BangsMeet Becky with the Bangs ❤️🐾Becky is one of six dogs who were transferred to us after the USDA shut down a breeding operation in Ohio. We were not part of the initial rescue, but we are honored to now be part of Becky's journey and help her discover the life she should have always known.Becky is 5 years old, and sadly, she was never properly socialized. Human touch seems completely foreign to her. The simple things we often take for granted—being gently petted, receiving affection, being handled with kindness, or simply sitting beside a person—are all new experiences for her.We don't know everything Becky endured or what her life looked like before rescue, but we do know that she was not given the opportunity to learn that humans can be safe and loving.Because of this, Becky needs a very patient, calm, and understanding home. She isn't a dog who will immediately run up for cuddles or know how to accept affection. Her new family will need to give her time, respect her boundaries, and celebrate the little victories along the way.And those little victories will mean everything. ❤️Becky came to us with Kevin with the Curls, another mini doodle from the same case. They don't necessarily need to be adopted together, but Becky would do best with another friendly, confident dog who can help her feel secure and teach her that life can be good.Becky is 5 years old, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations.She has spent her life without the love and socialization every dog deserves. Now, she finally has a chance to learn what it feels like to be someone's cherished companion.Becky doesn't need someone to rush her. She needs someone willing to wait for her.Someone who understands that trust takes time.Someone who will let her discover human touch at her own pace.Someone who will show her, every single day, that she is finally safe. 🏡❤️Becky's new life starts now. And we can't wait to see the girl she becomes.An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt. Dog adoption fees are $250.00 for all puppies and adult dogs. Seniors are a donation of choice.Cats and kittens are minimum donation $50.00
