Paws to Consider Your Pets of the Week, Oct. 11

It's 'Doggie Palooza' at Rucker Pet & Wild Bird Saturday, Oct. 15.

Take a moment this morning and paws to consider these three adorable pets. Meet Skeeter, Lion and Moo Cow this weeks Cumming Patch pets

Skeeter is a sweet, young, male cat who is currently residing at the shelter. This short hair Tabby lived in foster care for a while and has excellent kitty manners.  He really likes to be cuddled and held and would love to be your forever companion. We prefer a forever home, but if anytime within 2 weeks a pet is not working out, we will take them back and return your adoption fee, they may however, be returned at ANY time with loss of that fee.

Lion is a Border Collie-mix who is approximately 10-weeks-old. This little guy was abandoned by a dumpster, and luckily picked up and brought to HSFC. He loves to play and is young enough to train around other pets and children. Border Collies are great high energy dogs and wonderful for families.

Moo Cow is a domestic short haired female with lovely Calico markings. She had a home but due to growth in her family she has to find a new place to live. She is loving and playful and wants nothing more than to be adored. Moo Cow is currently in foster care.

Come by the shelter at 4440 Keith Bridge Road or call 770-887-6480 to arrange for a meet and greet with Skeeter, Lion and Moo Cow.
