LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services Pets of the Week: Monk, Sputnik, Gretel and Bruce

This week, I have four great pets to tell you about, and all of them qualify for our FREE adoption promotion, where all pets weighing 25 lbs. or more may be adopted for FREE! This great deal also includes the pet’s spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. Don’t worry, all potential adopters will be screened.

Our first pet is a beautiful boy with bright eyes and a nice smile named Monk. This two-year-old guy is very easy going and wise beyond his years. He seems to know what’s required to make everyone around him happy. Monk is smart and treat motivated, so he’ll learn tricks quickly. He also gets along great with other dogs and is good with kids. Come meet this handsome and happy boy today!

Next up is Sputnik, a happy, wiggly three-year-old boy who is ready to entertain you with his adorable quirks. Sputnik has wonderful self-control and, although he gets super excited when he sees a treat, he will sit perfectly still, and wait you to toss it to him. This confident guy gets along great with other dogs and would do well with a doggie brother or sister forever home. Come meet Sputnik today!

Third, we have Gretel, a super sweet two-year-old girl who wants nothing more than a family to love. This fetch connoisseur can’t wait to spend her days bringing balls back to your feet and sniffing freshly cut grass in your backyard. Gretel weighs 52 lbs. and loves to cuddle and give kisses. She hopes that you will come and meet her!

And last, but definitely not least, is an adorable, big softy named Bruce. This two-year-old Boxer mix seems stoic at times, but as soon as your scratch his back or say his name, he becomes a happy, wiggly ball of love. Bruce likes to stick by your side and can’t wait to have a human of his very own. He is like a laid-back boy who will make a wonderful couch potato companion. Come meet Bruce today! He is already neutered, microchipped, and can go home with you today!

All of the great pets listed above may be adopted for FREE! To meet them, simply drop by the shelter at 845 Camp Road in Decatur, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call (404) 294-2165.
