NEW YORK (1010WINS) 1010 WINS has teamed up with Animal Care Centers of New York City to let you know about some of the adoptable #Boroughbreds 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 Baxter, Juniper and Jax:
Juniper (63966) An ACC Volunteer Writes: "Hanging out with Juniper is a heartwarming, energetic, and fun-filled ride all wrapped into one! He can be a bit shy initially, but quickly warms up - captivating everyone with his sweet personality and funny antics. He cradled his adorable big blocky head in my hands and drifted off with eyes half-closed as I softly gave him cheek rubs; then leaned into me like I was a comfy sofa he was about to take a long snooze on!
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 adopt@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. View an Interactive adoption event at https://nycacc.org/adoptionevents.)
