3 To See At ACC: Meet Khloe, Oakly And Mariner
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 Khloe, Oakly And Mariner.
Khloe (A1063932) "Those eyes!! That coat! This beauty is ready to strut the runway," notes an ACC volunteer. "Just don't count your Manolos too quickly, because this sweet, gentle, snugglepuss would much rather be hanging out with you in her forever home! Headbutts, snuggles, pets, more pets and even kisses!! She loves it all. And as soon as she looks at you with those vibrant green eyes, you'll be smitten! So swap out your Manolos for a pair of Nikes and run to the shelter and bring this baby home! Meet adorable, approximately three-year-old Khloe at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Oakly (A1063618) "Oakly is happy go lucky puppy who enjoys playing with other dogs and giving and receiving affection from humans," writes an ACC volunteer of this approximately 11-month-old cutie. "Oakly is a lot of fun to be with. He wants to learn and explore his new surroundings always keeping a watchful eye on his handler and comes back often just to give kisses." Meet him at ACC's Staten Island Care Center at 3139 Veterans Road West.
Mariner (A1062774) An ACC volunteer describes Mariner as "a total love sponge," explaining, "this girl absolutely adores affection. She closes her eyes and becomes very still when you start to stroke her head, quickly going into a bunny trance. Her calmness will relax you too, and it seems hours could go by in this blissed-out state." Meet Mariner, who's about 13 months old, 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. 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.
