Thrift Store closes onSaturdays for now

Next Wednesday, June 21, is summer solstice, the first official day of summer and the longest day of the year. Maria says it’s already summer; she’s looking at the thermometer instead of the calendar. In fact, it’s gotten so hot she’s decided to close Second Time Around on Saturdays starting right now until it cools off or they get an air conditioner, whichever comes first.

Second Time Around, the Marshall County Humane Society’s thrift store located at 126 W. Van Dorn in Holly Springs, will still be open as usual every Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The merchandise changes all the time and covers the spectrum from baby toys to kitchen gadgets. The proceeds are used to help needy animals in our area.

Maria was hot the other day from more than the weather. Some cowardly two-legged creature had chunked a little dog out without even stopping the vehicle right in front of the thrift store. It’s a minor miracle it wasn’t run over before anyone could get their hands on it. At last report the dog was alive but traumatized and Maria was ballistic. She already has more than plenty of animals to care for.

The best way to make sure you don’t find yourself with unwanted pets is to get your existing ones spayed or neutered. The Humane Society sponsored, low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic does their best to encourage everyone to do so by providing low-cost procedures and financial assistance for those who need it. We are usually open every Tuesday but, since July 4th is on Tuesday this year, the clinic will be open, that week only, on Wednesday, July 5. Call 662-252- 6196 for your appointment.

For information on adoptions, fostering or the Humane Society in general, call 662-564-2900. Correspondence and donations should be mailed to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.
