Meet Okapi

You don't have to travel around the globe to meet THIS exquisite creature...I am Okapi, and I am actually a dog, though I am just as beautiful and unique as my namesake. I'm a younger guy but already building on my nice manners. I've been polite on a leash away from my kennel, and I enjoy going for a stroll at your side or chasing after a tennis ball. I've also been in many playgroups and don't mind spending time with other dogs. My favorite activity is using my nose, so every walk becomes a `sniffari,` as my volunteer friends say, and I love to explore the world one scent at a time. I'm a gentle-natured boy who would make a delightful companion to spend time with. Let's meet today!
