Common questions about DeKalb County Animal Services
How long does DeKalb County Animal Services hold a pet before euthanizing it?
Holding periods are set by state law and by each shelter's own policy, and they vary widely. Petbound does not estimate them. What we publish is the specific date the shelter has scheduled for each pet, taken from its listing, so you can see exactly how much time an individual animal has left.
What does the date on a listing mean?
It is the date the shelter has scheduled that pet to be euthanized if nobody adopts, fosters, or rescues it first. Dates can move earlier when a shelter runs out of space, so treat a listed date as the latest safe moment rather than a guarantee.
How do I adopt a pet from DeKalb County Animal Services before its deadline?
Contact DeKalb County Animal Services directly by phone or email using the details on this page, and name the specific pet and its shelter ID. Ask about visiting hours, adoption requirements, and whether fostering or a rescue transfer is possible if you cannot adopt outright.
