Coleslaw (A1123074) Coleslaw, an ACC volunteer writes, "has the sweet neediness of a puppydog. This cozy guy is very eager for companionship. When he sees someone, he gets all excited, and when you visit him, he immediately smushes himself into a pancake and soaks up the love. He'll also get upset and protest if you turn your attention elsewhere. Coleslaw obviously needs a home where he can get lots of attention." Meet Coleslaw at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
