Pretty Cat Looking for Loving Home

Every Saturday is "Adoption Day" at Petco on Market Place Boulevard in Cumming.

Daisy is a sweet girl who came to the shelter as a stray with some dental issues, but with much love and some work she is all fixed up and ready to go to a new home. She is very sweet and will be a dedicated companion for anyone.

Daisy is a tricolored female Beagle-mix about 5-years-old. She is currently in foster care, is housebroken and great with kids. Daisy does not jump up on people and she gets along great with her foster dog sibling. She is good on a leash and does not pull. She is an "easy" dog who doesn't demand a lot of attention, but is very appreciative when she receives it. Her favorite hobbies include naps and mealtimes.

Grammy Norma is a sweet, gorgeous longhaired girl with a beautiful coat who is about 4-years-old. This sweetheart loves attention and gets along great with her other kitty roommates.

Caramel is a female Pit Bull Terrier-mix who is almost a year old. She was rescued from a local animal control shelter where her owner, due to a job loss, surrendered her. This young girl is super friendly and would love an active home with someone to give her the love and affection she needs.

Call the shelter to set up a meet and greet with these wonderful companions at 770-887-6480.
