Angeline (1064386) "Got toys? Then Angeline wants to meet you!" notes an ACC volunteer. "An adorable peanut with ears that reach for the sky, Angeline wastes no time in finding a toy and/or a ball with which to amuse herself. Happy to play by herself, jumping up on the bench with her tennis balls, Angeline sweetly gives me a kiss, which is no easy feat considering there's a ball in her mouth!! Her tail wags as she settles down for some chomping. Showing off her sit when asked, Angeline takes a treat gently and runs off in pursuit of another ball.  Angeline means Angel, and indeed our little girl is just that." This approximately two-year-old sweetie has been at ACC's Manhattan Care Center (326 E. 110th Street) for two months – come by and meet her today!
