3 To See At ACC: Meet Clyde, Ireland And Chocolate
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 Clyde, Ireland And Chocolate!
Clyde (A0780311) If you're looking for an adorable, affectionate lovebug, look no further than Clyde. This cutie chirps, purrs, and may even gently pull your hand toward him so he can lick it. Come on by ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard, to meet this approximately eight-year-old sweetheart.
Chocolate (A1098027) "I loved my time with this tiny morsel of deliciousness," an ACC volunteer writes. "She's sweet, lovely, super affectionate, lots of kisses and hugs, playful with a toy in a pen, and was able to amuse herself just tossing the soft toy around." Chocolate's previous family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, obedient, loyal, sweet, high energy, and a big baby. She'd follow them around and loved cuddling and watching TV with them. She also enjoys belly rubs, learning new tricks, and playing in the snow. Meet this adorable, approximately two-year-old pup 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.

Ireland (A1073132) Ireland is a beautiful bunny who loves to stretch out lounging in her cage. Meet this approximately two-year-old sweetie at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
