Hi there! My name is Zariah, and I’m a happy, bouncy bundle of energy looking for my forever family! I’m sweet, playful, and full of love, but I’ll admit—I’m also a bit of a handful! I’ve got a lot of enthusiasm for life, and I’m searching for someone who can match my energy and guide me with patience and firm boundaries. I already know how to sit (though sometimes I need a little convincing), and I take treats gently. I love toys, especially when they’re tossed for me to chase! If you pet me while I have a toy, I’m happy to let it go—I’m not one for keeping things to myself. I’m also very people-oriented and adore attention, but sometimes I get a little too excited and might jump up to say hello. The good news? If you stay calm and ignore me, I settle down quickly. Since I’m still learning my manners, I need a home where my people will be dedicated to training me. I do pull on the leash, so some work on walking nicely would be great. A fenced-in yard where I can run off some of my zoomies would be a dream come true! I’ve got so much love to give, and with the right guidance, I’ll grow into the best companion you could ask for. If you’re looking for an affectionate, high-spirited pup to keep you on your toes and fill your days with joy, I just might be your perfect match. Come meet me—let’s see if we’re meant to be!

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.

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.
