Chloe (A1067867) An ACC volunteer writes that "Chloe has the most expressive brown eyes and beautiful fawn colored coat on her petite little body, which makes her simply irresistible. Chloe has a made a few new dog friends while at the shelter and participates daily in our playgroup program."

Rosemary (A1065233) "This gorgeous creature," a volunteer writes, "is a little shy at first; she'll hang back and look at you, like she's waiting for you to make the first move.  As soon as you lay a gentle hand on her, she mushes right down.  After an initial petting session she will proactively approach you for more, presenting herself as the love sponge she is." Meet Rosemary, who's approximately one year old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
