Man's Best Friend Friday

Dog adoptions Saturday from noon until 4 p.m. at Petco, 2345 Market Place Boulevard in Cumming.


Fern is a Beagle mix with an estimated date of birth of June 8, 2010. Fern gets along great with other dogs and loves children. She is a sweet lady who would make a wonderful addition to your family.

Meet Allie, she's a 4-year-old lab mix with a date of birth of Oct. 2, 2008. She weighs in around 40 pounds so she's not that big. Her daddy just went off to college and his parents aren't in a position to take care of her right now so we are looking for a forever home for this sweet girl. She is good with dogs and didn't have a problem around the cats at the shelter, she was curious though. We know she is great with kids as well.
