Paws to Consider Your Pets of the Week, May 7

Today check out the cat adoptions at Rucker Pet & Wild Bird on Bethelview Rd., from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Today the Humane Society of Forsyth County introduces us to not two, but four awesome animals, Cumming Patch's featured pets of the week.

Gracie is about 5 years old. She is a sweet shepherd mix and was a Katrina survivor.  This doe eyed darling will melt your heart with her loving personality. She so wants a home where she can devote her life to her family and get the love she desperately needs. She is available in person at the Humane Society Campus and would love to meet you!

Rascal is just over 2 years old, and is a handsome black and tan gentleman who is house trained and ready to be your lap dog. He enjoys new smells, running, and being adored. This loyal boy will be by your side through thick and thin. Are you the other piece to Rascals puzzle?

Lilo is a great communicator, just under a year old. This loving grey and black tabby cat is well socialized and good with other pets and children. She loves to be brushed and will snuggle up in your lap for some serious one on one time. She has a signifying kink at the end of her tail (like L for Lilo), which helps differentiate her from her sibling, Jolie who is also at the Humane Society Campus. Will you take her home to meet your family?

Jolie is Lilo's sister and another sweetheart cat. As Lilo, she loves to play and talk, but also LOVES to play. She would like to find that someone to love. Playtime is her favorite (she strongly recommends feather toys) and she also likes some lap time for snuggling. Jolie is also comfortable with other pets--so being in a larger family will not be an issue for her.
