3 To See At ACC: Meet Thistle, Tex & Lilah

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 Thistle, Tex and Lilah:

Lilah (A1076557 - photo above) "Lilah is one cute dog," notes an ACC volunteer. "She's so petite I had to check her kennel card for her age, as I assumed she was a puppy. Lilah is an exuberant dog, full of life, she loves to jump and prance... she practically hops!!!" This approximately two-year-old pup "knows how to sit and give paw and is very proud to show that to anyone she meets." Meet her at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
