Story
Originally Annabelle and her brother Cocoa came to us in July 2024. Their previous owner decided that he did not want to deal with them anymore and drove them across town and dumped them down a dead-end street by the river. Annabelle and Cocoa were on their own for three weeks before we received the call to intervene. They finally wandered up the road a few miles and found help with the Hickman Creek neighborhood. They were covered in fleas and ticks when we got them. Thankfully the neighborhood had been sitting food out for them, so they were not too underweight. Annabelle and Cocoa were adopted together fall of 2024. We received a sad message on January 1st, 2025, that the adopters wished to return them. They said their work schedule had changed to include some long hours and they believed that Annabelle and Cocoa still had too much puppy in them to be crated all day. So, once again, Annabelle and Cocoa have to suffer through another traumatic move. Yes, they are familiar with us and our pack, but make no mistake, changing homes and routines is very stressful for an animal. We are seeking a home that can take in both Annabelle and Cocoa. They are littermates that have never been separated from one another. They relied on each other out in the wilderness to stay alive. They are an extremely bonded pair. Annabelle is spayed. She is up to date on her heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. They have been tested for heartworms and 3 tick diseases and all came back negative. Both Annabelle and Cocoa are microchipped. Annabelle is a female, and she is spayed. Cocoa is a male, and he is neutered. They both have so much love to give. Annabelle is definitely the more submissive of the two. She enjoys love and kisses from her human. Cocoa prefers to spend his time chewing on his hard Nylabone chew toys. They both still have some puppy in them and need time outside, in a fenced yard, to run off some energy. They both get along with other dogs and cats. The previous family had children. We are still unsure how they would do with smaller children, but their playfulness would have to be watched to prevent them from jumping up in excitement. Annabelle and Cocoa are excellent car riders. They are both housebroken and the previous adopters said that they were crate trained. We will be re-evaluating them to see new behaviors and triggers. They love keeping each other and their human's company. We are willing to try a foster to adopt trial period with one of the dogs to see if they will be okay separated. The interested party has to be willing to bring the dog back to us if the separation does not work and either Annabelle or Cocoa resist the separation.

We would like to welcome Henry to the rescue. They had their intake exam today. Everything went well. He is an 8-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier mix. We did a DNA test on Henry and his siblings. They are a mixture of 15 different breeds, but that just means that they have 15 different kinds of love to give you. Henry and his siblings are very well behaved. Henry is our only male in the litter. He is up to date on vaccinations and heartworm/tick disease negative. He is up to date on his heartworm/flea/tick prevention. He weighs 42 pounds. He is neutered. Henry, along with his three other siblings was dumped in Indian Mound by the Ferry and left to starve. He has such a big attitude and loves to love on his human. He is a shy, sweet young soul. We are taking applications for their adoption.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Marshall County Humane Society requires an appointment to show an animal since we are all volunteer. We also require a home visit before finalizing adoption to check the security of your fence if you are adopting a dog. We only adopt to areas within 125 mi. of Holly Springs MS. Our dogs are given much care and attention and we want to make sure they are in a safe and secure environment. We are a limited intake adoption center and a non-profit organization. Our animals have been spayed/neutered & are up to date on shots. Our standard Dog adoption fee is $150 which includes a microchip. We sometimes make exceptions to standard fee for those with extra medical care. Our Cat adoption fee is $95.00. Dogs will require a fenced yard. For application, go to our website Marshallcountyhumanesociety.org, go to Adoption Info tab and click on Application. For more info, call 662-564-2900. The girls tell me they like the white motley throat marking I have.  I really want a home so I promise I'll work hard to be a good boy if you take me home.  I try to be cooperative with the other dogs at the shelter so would probably get along with your other dogs or cats too.  Call to see me soon by calling 662-564-2900 or E-mail DogsNCats11@gmail.com to make an appointment to meet me. I will need a fenced yard. All our animals have been spayed or neutered and up to date on all preventives and shots and we are microchipped.  Dog adoption fee is $150.00.   Fill out application at Marshallcountyhumanesociety.org and go to Adoption Info Tab.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 7:55 pm
