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 Madeline, Galaxy and Humphrey:

Galaxy (A1016375 - photo & video above) "In order to travel to another Galaxy, you don't have to go too far," an ACC volunteer writes. This playful, affectionate, approximately two-year-old sweetheart, who "loves to be petted on her whiskers and head," is available for adoption at ACC's Manhattan Care Center (326 E. 110th Street).

Madeline (A1070409) "Madeline is all wiggles and tail wags as she makes new friends with both people and other dogs," notes an ACC volunteer. "Joining me on the bench for some kisses, she lies down beside me and flips over for a belly rub -- all fours waving in the air -- so cute!" This approximately two-year-old cutie "would love an active, fun home where good food, lots of love and playtime are on the daily 'to do' list. Her enthusiasm for everything she does is completely contagious and she'd love a person or family to share her passions with." Meet Madeline at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

Humphey (A1069575 - photo below) An ACC volunteer describes Humphrey as "the loving-est big lug of a bun you'll ever meet.  This big guy is very friendly -- he'll approach you with great enthusiasm and snuggle down for an endless petting session.  He closes his eyes contentedly as you stroke his impressive head." Meet "this big, cozy teddy bear" who's about two years old--at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
