Friends of DeKalb County-AL Animal Adoption Center Volunteer • Foster-Based • 501c3 Nonprofit
Organization working to help the animals of DeKalb County- AL Animal Adoption Center located in Fort Payne, AL.

See all adoptable pets here! https://www.adoptapet.com/shelter/97416 Friends of DeKalb County-AL Animal Adoption Center is made up of a small group of volunteers and not the shelter staff. Our mission is to improve visibility and increase awareness of the countless number of abandoned, homeless animals in DeKalb County, with the ultimate goal being to unite these deserving animals with the perfect

family to call their own. Whether it be by finding adopters for homeless animals, reuniting lost pets with their owners or increasing community awareness about important issues, our volunteers are dedicated to being a voice for the animals in our area that are in need. However, we can not do this alone. There are numerous ways that you can help in this effort, including volunteering, educating, donating, fostering a pet until it is adopted and sharing pictures of animals that are posted on our page. The list of ways to help is endless and can be tailored to meet whatever your needs may be. For those of you interested in making a monetary donation, please use our Facebook donate button and be sure to select Friends/Family so we don't have to pay a fee for your donation or you can send your donation via Paypal to [email protected]. Any donations are greatly appreciated and can truly save lives. The DeKalb County Animal Adoption Center in Fort Payne serves the entire county and it is imperative that you check with them if you have a missing animal from anywhere in DeKalb County. Their phone number is 256.304.0474 and they are located at 2601 Jordan Road SW, which is behind Lowe's and on the left near the county jail. If you would like details about any of the animals on our page, please contact or visit the shelter, as well. For those interested in adopting a pet, the DeKalb County Animal Adoption Center offers an affordable adoption fee upon approval of an application. For $80, an adopted animal is spayed/neutered, microchipped and given a rabies shot. In addition, you receive a free, 30-day pet insurance policy! What a deal! We are incredibly grateful for those of you who are considering adoption and for those who have already opened your hearts and homes to these precious animals. As Karen Davidson once said, "Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever."

PLEASE READ THE BIO BEFORE APPLYING!

Meet Penny! A precious Chiweenie mix. She is very timid and will need someone who has 2 great qualities: 1st love and 2nd lots of patience and it would be wonderful if you have experience being a doggy parent.
Penny gets along with other little dogs HER SIZE. She is working on potty training and has been doing fairly well as long as she goes out every couple hours. She doesn't like being alone and will whine and howl. She loves sleeping in your bed and doesn't take up much room at all. She's a good girl looking for someone who will love her and give her time to learn to trust and settle in.
Penny is around 6 yrs old, 8 lbs. and waiting to be spayed. She's had her rabies vaccine.
Penny is in a foster home so a meet and greet can be arranged at the shelter! Apply today, this little gem won't last long!
