Hi, my name is Lauren! I am a 3-year-old mutt. I am a very friendly and playful girl. Any game you want to play, I'll be right there with you! You can come meet me any day from noon to 5 p.m. at the APL!
Hi, my name is Vivian! Even though I'm just over a year old, I came to the APL with my two kittens. I raised them well and saw them off to good homes. Now it's time for me to find a forever home! I'm a very friendly, laid-back girl who loves chin scratches and attention. I can still be a bit playful too. Come meet me any day at the APL from noon to 5 p.m.!
