Little guy needs a home!

Dachshund needs a home! This little guy only weighs 14 pounds and is probably full-blooded Dachshund. He’s only a little over 1-year-old so you can still teach him lots of tricks. He’s tan with a small amount of black.
Come to our shelter and meet him. For an appointment, 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.

Thieves visited Holly Springs Sunday morning during church hours and perpetrated two of the boldest and most heinous robberies ever to occur in our city.
