I need a family

Hi, I'm Darby and l live at the Humane Society shelter. Everyone thinks I'm very sweet, but I'm starting to get a little shy because I don't have a family to live with yet and teach me things and reassure me that I'm going to have a good life.
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.
