ACC Weekly Pet Post: Meet Honey, Nina and Sassy

New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with Animal Care Centers 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 ACC's mobile adoption units are headed with even more great pets.

This week, we're featuring Honey, Nina and Sassy.

Honey (A1052551 - photo above) "This girl is honey-colored, and just as sweet," writes an Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) volunteer. "She's a real people bunny, and will push her head into your hand to get the most out of a good head scratch." Meet Honey, who's approximately two years old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

Nina (A1053539) Beautiful Nina is a very friendly, affectionate feline, about 16 months old. Her previous owner says she loves to play and enjoys being held. Meet this sweetie at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.

Sassy (AA1044833) Sassy, approximately three years old, arrived at ACC severely underweight, but has been putting on much-needed muscle and thriving in an ACC foster home for the past several months! "Despite her tough past, Sassy is a playful, affectionate, and gentle girl who loves belly rubs, chew toys, and leaning against her person during naps," Sassy's foster mom writes. "She gets along well with her foster sister Lucy. Sassy greets everyone she meets with a wag and a smile. She can't wait to find her forever home!"Email fosters@nycacc.org  with Sassy's name and A#: (A1044833) if you're interested in adopting this cutie! What better way to celebrate Adopt-A-Dog Month?

Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), 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. ACC'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 ACC'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, ACC Adoption Counselors will help you find the best match.
