Pets of the Week: Rootbeer and Kisses

These pets are looking for a new home.

The Humane Society of Greater Akron  is offering these animals for adoption.

Rootbeer

Rootbeer is a Lab/Spaniel mix that is around 6 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. He is a pretty shy guy that is looking for someone who has the time and patience to show him that the world isn't that scary. He gets along well with other dogs and sharing a home with one may actually help him come out of his shell quicker. He would do best in a home with no small children. Rootbeer has so much potential and we hope that someone will give him the wonderful life he deserves!

Kisses

Aptly names, she gives kisses and loves to be petted, though she'll let you know when she's done. She play-bites sometimes, but it's cute when you know how to read this golden girl (although she might be a bit much for small children). We're not sure what happened to her ear, but it definitely gives her character and she adores it when you talk to her -- there's no problem with her hearing. Talk to her and she'll purr and purr. Kisses is not always eager to come out of her cage, but many shelter cats are like that. Trying to pull them out makes them a little defensive, but volunteers say she loves being carried around.
