I need some kids!

Davis is a friendly, frisky little pup who is approximately three months old and needs some kids to play with! He is a spaniel mix and will be a great family dog! 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.

Really, he’s Lucky!

Lucky, who was adopted out from the Marshall County Humane Society about a year ago, is a handsome black Labrador retriever, who recently had to be returned to us, due to a serious illness in the family. After his story was posted on the Internet, a group came forward to ask about taking him for training as a service dog. After passing an initial evaluation, he has now moved to Retrieving Freedom, Inc. where he will start his training as a service dog. He might be selected to assist a veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or work with an autistic child, or maybe train to be a diabetic alert dog. There is a long waiting list of people who have a need for a service dog, usually waiting from two to four years to get their dog. The Humane Society is very excited that this dog has been selected from their shelter to train to be an assistance dog. The group says it is an honor to be a part of this endeavor. You can check out their services at www.retrievingfreedom.org. Pictured above, Charles Dwyer with Lucky.
