I’m the cool one!

I’m Cassie, the chocolate colored, cool one! My sister’s DNA came back dachshund/Vizla mix. I’m not so big, so guess I'm more of a dachshund. I’m glad the shelter took me in, but I would like some children to play with me. I’m eight months old and only weigh 22 pounds, so I don’t really eat much. Don’t you want to take me home with you? 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.
