(607NewsNow) — Our pets of the week start with Rollie and Velcro (Top photo) from CNY Snap.

Rollie and Velcro are a bonded pair of sisters who are about 5 months old. They were found trapped under a dumpster and were rescued at 8 weeks old. A little shy at first, they love attention and being pet once they get comfortable. Their foster mom says they never hiss, bite, or scratch, and are both very sweet, loving cats. Both Rollie and Velcro have been spayed, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and are microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Next, we have Buck (Bottom L) and Mary (Bottom R) from the Cortland County SPCA. Buck is 3 years old and loves to be active whether it’s a game of fetch, a long hike, or wading through water. He is very friendly and affectionate and loves to meet new people and dogs whenever he can.

Mary is 10 months old and has a big personality and an even bigger heart. She has lots of energy and can be quite vocal and playful, but can channel it into good manners and socialization skills with the help of a patient and loving home. She already knows how to sit and is always eager and excited to learn new things. After a day of playing and training, she wants nothing more than to curl up and cuddle with her people.
