I've been inspired to build healthy habits when Curie bounces around until I take her to play, run, and walk. I'm grateful when Curie stops to smell a tree on our walks because it helps me to stop and gaze at the sky or also take an interest in her tree. Curie has grown socially by becoming less afraid when meeting other dogs; she has always loved people. I love being with my social butterfly because I get to meet lots of new interesting people!...Thank you, Humane Society! I couldn't have landed a better companion, and I know that Curie will help a lot of people in her long life just as she has helped me since I adopted the intuitive cutie Curie!KelseyHOW YOU CAN HELPThe Benton Franklin Humane Society team and volunteers work tirelessly to place our animals into loving, forever homes.Every year, we accept in, treat and adopt out more than 1,000 pets.
