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 Da Maio, Belle And Athena
Da Miao (A1031751 - Photo above courtesy Tony Cano, @nycanimalpics) Da Miao's got it all: great looks and a fantastic purrsonality! This approximately two-year-old cutie appreciates attention and petting, and is as sweet as she is beautiful. Meet Da Miao at Animal Care Centers of NYC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th St.
Belle (A1073874) This friendly, approximately three-year-old girl came to Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) along with a pug, who's since been adopted. Belle is a sweet, affectionate dog ready for some new humans to love. Meet this beauty at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Athena (A1066140) "Athena is a large gray and white girl with a great personality," notes an ACC volunteer. She used to live with another rabbit and two cats. Decorating, cuddling, binkying and flopping are some of Athena's favorite activities. Meet this friendly, approximately three-year-old bunny at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Blvd.
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.

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.
