Paws to Consider Your Pets of the Week, Nov. 1

This Saturday, Nov. 5 is Belk Charity Day to benefit the Humane Society of Forsyth County.

Meet this week's Cumming Patch pets–Dexter, Rocket and Orson.

Dexter is about 2-years-old and is a sweet loving Beagle mix. He wears a smile all of the time and would love to have someone to smile back at him. This cutie is so deserving of a forever home.

Rocket was left in a carrier outside the door of the animal hospital without a note. While the Humane Society does not condone the declawing of animals, we certainly don't deny them refuge because of it and Rocket was declawed upon acceptance into our program. This tuxedoed darling is in a foster home and is good with other cats, dogs, and children so she will be perfect for any home. Will you take a chance on this displaced sweetheart?

Orson is a sweet two-month-old Terrier mix. This little love has started out his life in a shelter but hopes to live it with someone special. Please give this angel a chance.
