A home for Christmas?

Hi. I’ve been living at the Marshall County Humane Society shelter for quite a few months now. It’s not too bad. I have friends, food every day, get to run outside some, but all I really want is a real home for Christmas. I’m 1-year-old and they tell me I’m probably all Labrador retriever. I really like to play with people and sure love the water.
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.
