3 To See At ACC: Meet Tabitha, Ace & Frankie
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 Tabitha, Ace & Frankie:
Ace (A1061862) Volunteers say Ace's name stands for Adorable, Cuddly and Energetic, and it's hard not to fall for his loving personality! Meet this super cute and playful pup—he's about one year old--at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
Frankie (A1061086) "Frankie is a magnificent young man with a luxurious orange coat, eyes that match the color of his coat, and the fluffiest of tails!" writes an ACC volunteer. "He is quite curious and alert, and enjoys being petted and having his head scratched. When it's snack time, Frankie stands so tall, waiting patiently for his treat." Meet this adorable, approximately four-year-old feline at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Tabitha (A1059888) "Tabitha loves affection and will quickly lapse into a bunny trance as you pet her," notes an ACC volunteer. Her previous owner says she loves to be around people and would jump in excitement whenever she would see a family member enter the room -- and would like to stay by their feet. Meet this approximately two-year-old sweetie 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)
