3 To See At ACC: Meet Tye, Wilde and Pook!
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 Tye, Wilde and Pook.
Wilde (A1055269 - photo above) "Wilde is very curious and eager for exploration and play," notes an ACC volunteer . This approximately two-year-old bunny "has a pristine coat, an aristocratic profile, and beautiful, intelligent eyes." See for yourself at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street!

Tye (A1064493) "Tye has the cutest, most adorable under bite it makes him look a little like Grumpy Cat! However, looks can be deceiving," writes an ACC volunteer. "He is so 'wiggly' and happy." When given treats, "he took them so sweetly and did this cute little shuffle (lifting one paw then the other if there was a delay in treat dispensing). He is a total heart breaker!" Meet this approximately two-year-old cutie at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Pook (A1064593) What a cutie! "Sweet Pook came in as a stray, but although a little shy, he loves people," an ACC volunteer notes. "Friendly and gentle, he appreciates attention and will give you an earful of purrs and a big handful of head-butts." Fall in love with Pook, who's about eight years old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th St.
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.
