Dog of the week

Romero is a 9-month-old Shepherd mix puppy. He weighs 49 pounds now, but will likely still have some growing left to do. He is energetic and happy. Meet him at the APL.

Cat of the week

Fabio is an affectionate 4-year-old cat. When he first came to APL, he had an injured eye that needed to be removed. He has healed great and gets around just fine. He would love to have a quiet home where he can relax and cuddle. Chin rubs are his favorite; he will stop what he’s doing, plop down and snuggle. Meet Fabio at the APL.
