You may or may not know that Dekalb Animal Control is bursting at the seams right now with over 400 dogs and cats in the shelter. Many of them (over 60%) will be euthanized because there are just not enough people adopting pets. There is a serious issue in Dekalb County with the number of strays and neglected animals (of all shapes and sizes) who are not spayed or neutered – and so many end up dying.

A group has been started by individuals called Friends of Dekalb Animals. This group goes in and tries to save as many dogs and cats as it can and send them on transport up north to be adopted (the northern states don’t have this serious overpopulation problem the southern states are dealing with – but that is another issue. )

Regardless, we are trying to raise money to get 37 dogs out of Dekalb by early September and need some funding help to do so. If you could pass around to your friends and families, I’d be grateful.. even a couple of bucks will help save a dog from Dekalb. The website is http://www.friendsofdekalbanimals.org/ and you can donate there.

Maybe I’m just being dense, but why is the problem so much worse in the South?
