Humane Society participates in festival

The Kudzu Festival will be on the Courthouse Square in Holly Springs again this year on Saturday, July 15-18.

The Marshall County Humane Society will have two contests during the festival on Saturday. At 10 a.m. we will have one judging for itty, bitty dogs. Entrants should be under 25 pounds. Costumes are allowed but not necessary and the cutest, most unusual pup wins.

At the same time we will also have the Best Trick Contest. There are no weight restrictions for this one.

A donation to the Marshall County Humane Society (you name the amount) is the entry fee and each vote costs $1.

Bring your pride and joy to show off and win a prize.

We are just beginning the heat of summer and the kitties at our shelter would be sweating if they could. If you are feeling generous they could sure use a fan. Call 662-564-2900 if you can help.

For an appointment at the Humane Society sponsored, low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic call 662-252-6196.

For information about fostering, adoptions or anything else about our Humane Society, call 662-564-2900. Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.
