Adoptable pets of the week: Bridges and Melina - The State Journal-Register

Here are this week's Animal Protective League pets of the week. For more information on these and other animals available for adoption, visit www.apl-shelter.org or call (217) 544-7387.

Dog of the week

Bridges is a 6-year-old chihuahua. She is sweet and timid. Call APL to arrange a visit.

Cat of the week

Melina is a friendly, laid-back 1-year-old cat. She came to the APL with her litter of three kittens. She was a great mom and saw them all off to their forever homes. Now it’s her turn. Melina is affectionate and calm, but she’s still a young cat, so she also enjoys playing and chasing toys every once in a while, too. Come meet me her at APL.
