AC&C Weekly Pet Post: Meet Jesse, Stone and Cheyenne
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 Jesse, Stone and Cheyenne.
Jesse (Photo Above - ID# A) This gorgeous girl, about four years old, came to AC&C after her owner passed away. Jesse is a friendly feline, who comes to the front of her cage seeking attention and appreciates being pet. Meet Jesse at AC&C's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
Stone (ID# A) This big, playful pup—he's about 17 months old—used to live with other dogs and children, and is ready for his new family! An AC&C volunteer notes, "Every time I see Stone I'm reminded of what perfection looks like. Amazingly handsome in a gleaming coat, his face is soft and expressive, his tail always in friendly wag mode, and his entire body wiggles when near other dogs." Meet Stone at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Cheyenne (ID# A1029776)This cutie was brought to AC&C as a stray. Cheyenne, a beautiful bunny of about three years, is available for adoption at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 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.
