(607NewsNow) — Our pets of the week start with Socks (Top L) and Ebony (Top R) from CNY Snap.

Sisters Socks and Ebony are all playful 4-5 month old females. These girls are friendly, get along well with people, and love the two older cats in the foster home, plus the two dogs there. They are sweet, affectionate cats who purr loudly and love attention. Both Socks and Ebony have been spayed, microchipped, have vaccines up-to-date, and were tested for FIV/FeLV.

Next, we have Axle (Bottom L) and Lou (Bottom R) from the Cortland County SPCA. Axle is a year and a half old and is an energetic dog who is always ready for the next adventure. More than anything, he loves spending time with his people. He is a friendly guy who would do home in a family with kids or other pets that can keep up with him.

Lou is a little over 2 years old and is sweet and gentle, waiting for a patient and calm home to take him in. Although a little shy at first, his personality comes through once he’s comfortable and knows he’s safe. Lou is very intelligent and loves affection, he just needs a home that can give him the confidence he needs to flourish.
