Aramati and Arcis
Hi, my name is Aramati (86207) and this is my buddy Arcis (86208). When I go exploring, Arcis isn't far behind because we love each other and pretty much everyone we meet. For Valentine's Day, I would like to go home with a family that will let me hop on their laps while Arcis cuddles and gives kisses. If nuzzling is your thing, come and meet us at HSSV's Animal Community Center! Visit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas, or call (408) 262-2133.
