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.
Plus, ACC has your chance to get your 'pet fix' with its new 'BoroughBreak' program, which pairs members of the community with shelter dogs for field trips. Outings can last from one hour to all day, and can include a hike, a trip to the beach, a fun car ride, a long nap in a home or even a nice dinner in a pet-friendly restaurant.
The #BoroughBreak program was created in order to help reduce kennel stress and provide dogs with enrichment and increased visibility. Outings give the shelter valuable insight on how the dogs behave outside a shelter environment. It's also a great excuse to spend a day doing something new or exploring New York City. Participants are not required to have any prior canine-handling experience. Leashes, dog collars, and treats will be provided by ACC. Those interested in getting involved with 'ACC Boroughbreaks' can go to the Manhattan location at 326 East 110th Street anytime between 10AM - Noon on Saturday, May 25.
This week, we're featuring Toby, Babygirl and McCall:
