AC&C Weekly Pet Post -- Meet Harmony, Pitman & Brenda
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS are teaming up with Animal Care & Control of New York City to let you know about some of the adoptable animals looking for loving homes in the city's shelters, and where AC&C's mobile adoption unit is headed with even more great pets.
This week, we're featuring Harmony, Pitman and Brenda.
Harmony (A1027897- photo above) "This quiet beauty has a coat like the softest blanket, and at a perfect 11 pounds, she's just made to warm laps and cozy up to her people on the sofa," notes an AC&C volunteer. "Friendly, super well behaved, and with the most gentle pipsqueak of a meow, Harmony is one of those cats who doesn't seem to need a lot of playtime and is happy just being near (or on top of!) the humans who love her." Meet Harmony, who's about two years old, at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, at 326 E. 110th Street.
Pitman (A1027389) Pitman is a snuggler, an affectionate, approximately four-year-old pup who would do well even with first-time dog guardians. "His sweet little frowny face, his soft and quiet demeanor, his cuddly 'all about love' personality made me fall in love with him," an AC&C volunteer notes. Fall in love with Pitman yourself at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street!
Brenda (A1024762) Brenda, approximately 14 months old and five and a half pounds, came to AC&C as a stray at the beginning of January. Meet this cutie and other great rabbits up for adoption at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, at 326 E. 110th Street.
Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the only open-admissions animal shelter in New York City and takes in approximately 30,000 animals every year. AC&C's three Care Centers in Manhattan (326 East 110th Street), Brooklyn (2336 Linden Boulevard), and Staten Island (3139 Veterans Road West) are open for adoptions 12 p.m. – 7 p.m., seven days a week.
If you're interested in one of the animals featured here, email AC&C's Adoption team at adoption@nycacc.org with the animal's name and "A#", or head directly to the Care Center where the animal is located. Please note, animals featured here may already be placed by the time you arrive, but there are hundreds of great cats, dogs, and rabbits looking for loving homes every day! You can view available animals online, and at the Care Centers, AC&C Adoption Counselors will help you find the best match.
You can also meet your new best friend at AC&C's Mobile Adoption Center, which travels throughout the city. (Note: dates and locations are subject to change. Information will be updated as quickly as possible. Also check http://www.NYCACC.org)
