Nissy (11441) Everybody loves Nissy! "When staff has paperwork to take care of," a volunteer notes, "Nissy joins them in their office, spread out on a blanket froggy style, and rolling over for some belly rubs." This super sweet girl, approximately four years old, is polite with other dogs and walks well on a leash. She needs some TLC, but whomever adopts her will have a truly spectacular, special dog. Fall in love with Nissy at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
