Hi, my name is Rascal! I am a 4-year-old, 33-pound Beagle. I am a super-sweet and friendly guy. Like most Beagles, I like to have my nose to the ground and follow scents. But I also love to cuddle and sit on your lap. I know how to "sit" on command. I am a gentle soul who loves all people, including kids, and would make a great family dog! You can come meet me at the APL any day from noon to 5 p.m.!
Hi, my name is Vanilla. I am a 10-month-old mediumhair kitten. When I first came to the APL, I was very scared. Now I am much braver and have learned I love getting pets and attention! My brother Coconut is more shy than me. I would love to go to a home with him so I can keep him company. That's not a requirement, though. You can meet us any day from noon to 5 p.m. at the APL!
