New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed 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 Goku, Guinness, and Apple.

Guinness (ID# A1030596) Guinness, a volunteer notes, is "a big snuggler." Meet this adorable, approximately three-year-old rabbit at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
