My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Boone, and I’m looking for a family who can keep up with my energy and love! I was found as a stray, but I’m already showing everyone what a fun and friendly guy I am. I absolutely love people and can’t get enough of human attention – whether it’s cuddles, pets, or just hanging out, I’m always ready to be by your side. I do have a lot of strength, especially on the leash, so I’ll need someone who can help me with leash manners. I can be a bit of a rough player with other dogs and sometimes get overstimulated during play, but I’m learning to manage my excitement. I just want to have fun and interact with my furry friends, though I might need some guidance to play more appropriately. I’m a super friendly boy with a heart full of love, and I’m looking for an active, patient family who can help me burn off some energy while teaching me a few manners. If you’re up for a strong, enthusiastic pup who loves people, I just might be the one for you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Here’s what to expect when you arrive at TAILS:

A staff member will ask you what sort of pet you are looking for and then will provide you with information about specific pets that appear to be a good fit for your family, taking into consideration such factors as: kids, level of activity, your pet experience, other animals currently in the home, etc. You will be encouraged to interact with the pet or pets of your choice in a private visiting room. We believe that bringing a new pet into your home is an important decision so you’ll have plenty of time to make your decision without feeling rushed. Staff and volunteers will be available throughout this time to answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve made your choice, an adoption counselor will review the adoption contract with you.

You’ll pay the adoption fee. Then you’ll take your new family member home with you!

An animal can be put on hold in person at the TAILS facility during regular adoption hours.

More about this shelter

Our mission: Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.

TAILS Humane Society is a limited admission animal shelter providing a safe haven for almost 2,400 animals each year. We are committed to providing each animal the time and medical care they need to have their best chance at adoption.

TAILS was established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates dedicated to bringing a comprehensive animal shelter to DeKalb. We operated out of an old farmhouse until 2005 when we cut the ribbon on our Barber Greene facility. In 2009, we opened our low cost Spay/Neuter Clinic providing quality, affordable sterilization services to the public. We continue to grow and strengthen our programs and service as we continue to save lives.
