Pets of the Week: Sylvia and Bear

The Humane Society of Greater Akron is spotlighting these animals for adoption from among the many that are available:

Sylvia

Sylvia is described by volunteers and staff as being absolutely fabulous! She loves being on your lap and is very social. She gets along well with other cats. If you are looking for a sweet and friendly girl, stop down and meet Sylvia!

Bear

Bear is around 10 to 12 years old and weighs about 40 pounds. Although, he may be the age of a senior, dont let that fool you, this boy transforms into a playful puppy when toys come out! He knows sit, shake and speak and gets along well with other dogs. He is a sweet and gentle boy that walks well on a leash. We know this handsome man will make some lucky family "beary" happy!
