Zanya (7954) An ACC Volunteer writes that Zany is "the friendliest bun you can imagine! This sweetie does whatever she can think of to get your attention and convince you to visit with her, and she adores affection - especially cheek rubs. If she could, she'd hop into your pocket or bag and come home with you - that's how much she needs human company." Meet Zanya at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
