ATLANTA — The plea was urgent. And dire: The Dekalb County Animal Shelter was packed with unwanted dogs. Historically overcrowded. If the public didn’t adopt some, like 150 by month’s end, animals would be euthanized.
It was like a giant clock ominously ticking alongside the face of an adorable — and doomed — dog.
Remember back at the start of COVID? Folks stuck at home rushed to dog pounds across the nation and snapped up furry friends to help them negotiate those scary times.
