3 To See At ACC: Meeting Halsey, Zelda & Frosting!
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 Meeting Halsey, Zelda & Frosting:
Halsey (A1079451) Adorable, playful, petite Halsey (she's just 33 pounds) came to ACC at the end of June. Halsey spent a few weeks in foster care, where she learned manners and put on some muscle. She lived well with adults, another dog and a cat. She's just a puppy at 11 months of age and could use someone with puppy experience to help her adjust to city life. Meet this belly-rub-loving cutie at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Frosting (A1065736) We featured this adorable bunny back in April, when she was at the Manhattan Care Center. She's since moved to ACC's Brooklyn location, but she's still available for adoption! An ACC volunteer notes that Frosting "is very sweet and adores affection. She has an unassuming nature, and if you leave her side, she'll wait patiently for you to return." Meet this adorable, approximately 19-month-old bunny at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
Zelda (A1085798) "Put down your laptop or phone--Zelda is more interactive than any digital gadget out there," writes an ACC volunteer. "When I met her in the cat adoption area the other day, she hopped right up to the front of her kennel to introduce herself, reaching her paw out in a warm gesture of friendliness. Curious and alert, she tried to touch her paw to my notebook, my pen, and my hands. This robust young lady with the adorable brown cow spots comes to us from a home, and her former owner said that Zelda is outgoing and playful." Meet this approximately three-year-old beauty at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
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.
If you're interested in one of the animals featured here, email ACC's Adoption team at adoption@nycacc.org with the animal's name and "A#", or head directly to the Care Center where the animal is located. 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.
You can also meet your new best friend at ACC's Mobile Adoption Center, which travels throughout the city. (Note: dates and locations are subject to change. Information will be updated as quickly as possible. Also check http://nycacc.org/Events.htm)
