AC&C Weekly Pet Post: Meet Plushy, Houdini And Daisy
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 Plushy, Houdini and Daisy.
Plushy (ID# A1030076 - pictured above) Plushy, who's approximately 10 months old and only about 10 pounds, is a calm, friendly pup. This cutie arrived at Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) as a stray. Meet Plushy the dog at AC&C's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Houdini (ID# A1027493) In February, handsome Houdini was abandoned in a store—along with two doves. Now he's looking for a loving home. Meet Houdini the rabbit, who's approximately two years old, at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Daisy (ID# A) This beautiful orange tabby, approximately seven years old, is a love bug. An AC&C volunteer notes that Daisy "alternated between head-butting my sweater, giving me her rear end for scratches, and thrusting her chin up for tickles. She was in motion the whole time, gladly doing most of the work for just a little reward. This girl needs a home with lots of love to give, and she will gladly give it in return!" Meet sweet Daisy the cat—who used to live in a home with other cats as well as a dog--at AC&C's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
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 12pm-8pm Monday thru Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturdays and Sundays.
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.
