DeKalb County, Lifeline Animal Services and other local and state officials broke ground on overflow units being constructed at the DeKalb animal shelter on Nov. 21. The “pet neighborhood” will have 10 units that can house 120 dogs.
Five units will be completed by March 2025, and the remaining five will be completed by June 2025. The total cost of the project is about $4.1 million. About $2.5 million of the project is being funded by the DeKalb special purpose local option sales tax.
Construction will include pouring a concrete pad that the kennels will sit on, as well as utilities and stormwater infrastructure.
