She’d love to be yours!

This little female terrier mix has been struggling to find a home. She was happy to get picked up from the streets and getting to eat every day, but says she sure would love to be someone’s permanent pet. She was very scared when she first got to the Humane Society, but is settling down and getting much more social with other dogs and new people. Please call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 or email dogsncats11@gmail.com for more info. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of animals for adoption.
