3 To See At ACC: Meet Zeke, Ginger & Rush

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.

Plus, as part of this weekend's "Clear The Shelters" event, ACC is waiving the adoption fees for all cats one year and older.

This week, we're featuring Zeke, Ginger & Rush:

Zeke (A1080401 - photo above)  This lovely dog is quite shy initially but will warm up after some time. About nine months old, Zeke displays typical puppy behaviors, and would benefit from basic obedience classes as well as daily mental and physical stimulation to positively direct his playful energy and enthusiasm.  Meet this sweetie at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.

Ginger (A0795766) "Ginger is as spicy as her name!" writes an ACC volunteer about this vocal kitty. "If you pet her you have a friend for life. She will move around so you can get every place on her body.  Then she will purr to tell you how happy she. Is. When you come by the cage she walks up and says hello.  She is beautiful inside and out!" Meet Ginger, who's approximately eight years old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street,

Rush (A1074667) "Rush is a large, very handsome silvery gray male with a great personality," notes an ACC volunteer. "This guy pancakes right down for petting, as though he's been waiting for you all his life. You'll be happy to oblige, because in addition to being super sweet, he has a gorgeous million-dollar coat, accented by beautiful long whiskers and a little white glove on his right front foot. This prince of a bunny would make a great choice for a first-time bunny home." Meet this approximately three-year-old sweetie at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
