FeaturesMarshall County Humane Society News Society saddened by passing of friend The Marshall County Humane Society deeply mourns the passing of our dear friend and longtime member, Fonta O’Dell. We could always count on her and her daughter Margaret to show up for meetings and fund raisers with smiling faces and good words for everyone. Our hearts go out to Margaret at this sad time. We’ll seriously miss Fonta at our next meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 5:30 p.m. at the VFW in Holly Springs. Come help us get our Adoption Center up and running and see what other goals we can set and accomplish for the new year. If you have been hesitating about getting your pet spayed or neutered because even the Humane Society sponsored, low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic prices wouldn’t fit into your budget, we now have a couple of grants that may be of help to you. Call 662-252-6196 for more information about financial assistance and/or to make an appointment at the Clinic. For information on adoptions, fostering needy animals or about the Humane Society in general, call 662-564-2900. Second Time Around, 126 W. Van Dorn, open Friday and Saturday.
