Norton Animal Shelter, located just behind Nine Lives at 84 Hill St., has cats and dogs up for adoption. This week, Norton Patch will feature Darcy.

Darcy is an adorable little Beagle girl. She came to the shelter as a stray. Darcy seems to warm up to women very quickly. She's a little timid with men. Darcy is very playful. She is about 4 years old and weighs 26 lbs. She'd make a great little companion for just about anyone. Darcy has been spayed, tested negative for heart worm and lyme and is up to date on all her vaccines.
