Zeke, a.k.a. Buddy, reunited with his owner!!!

After his picture appeared in the paper last week as “Zeke,” the original owners contacted the Humane Society with a picture of their puppy, “Buddy,” who was taken from their home about two months ago. Their 3-year-old son had received the dog as a gift originally. So, when the little boy saw that this dog was indeed his puppy, Buddy, there was a joyful reunion between the boy and dog! Every now and then, we are able to connect a lost dog with his owner and it makes all our efforts worthwhile! Call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 to see our adoptive animals. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of our animals.
