🐾 Adoptable Pet of the Week: Ulani
Meet Ulani—a young, friendly little sweetheart who was brought in as a stray. Don’t let her backstory fool you though—she’s a total lovebug and makes fast friends with anyone who walks in the room (and isn’t shy about chatting with you, either!).

Because she’s still so young, Ulani is likely to adapt beautifully to just about any home, as long as she’s given the time and space to settle in. If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts affectionate and vocal, this girl just might be the one.

Stop by La Crescent Animal Rescue during open hours on Wednesdays or Saturdays—or call 507-895-2066 to set up a visit.
