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.
