ACC Weekly Pet Post: Meet Sully, Missy Elliot and Whittney

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 Sully, Missy Elliot and Whittney.

Sully's (ID#: A1053071 - photo above) October is Adopt-A-Dog Month, and Sully is looking for a new home! "Sully gives the best hugs, and has a sweet, calm lovely energy," writes an Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) volunteer. If you're interested in adopting this affectionate, playful, approximately 10-month-old pup, email fosters@nycacc.org.

Missy Elliot (ID#: A1053349) Beautiful Missy Elliot is a friendly feline, about three years old, who used to live with a dog. This affectionate kitty rolls on her back and loves being pet! Meet her at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

Whittney (ID#: A1052802) Whittney "is well-socialized and loves to be petted; if he were a person, you might say he was well-mannered," notes an ACC volunteer. Meet this easy-going, approximately 13-month-old rabbit at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

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.

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.
