Shera is a friendly girl, whose photo doesn’t do her welcoming nature justice. She came to AC&C with a very matted coat, since shaved, but she’ll have gorgeous fur all over soon enough! Meet this four-year-old beauty at Animal Care & Control of NYC’s Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Blvd.

This friendly and playful puppy—he’s only about 14 months old—came to Animal Care & Control (AC&C) as a stray. Jeffey is a very high energy dog, and would be best in a home without young children. Meet him at Animal Care & Control of NYC’s Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Blvd.

Evelyn, just a puppy at about 13 months old, was found hiding under cars in a parking lot. A volunteer notes, “This little girl is the whole package - she's gorgeous, friendly, loving, easy and smart. Wearing a shiny brindle coat and a big smile Evelyn greeted me with a wag and a smile…. She is so easy to be with, such a sweetheart, she is worth running, not walking, to meet her. Do it today.” Run to meet her at Animal Care & Control of NYC’s Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th St.

This sweetheart is an AC&C staff favorite, and a volunteer writes that she’s “initially a little shy, but she's quick to recognize a friend, wagging her tail in excitement when she sees me approach, and once outside, rolling over for that all important belly-rub!” Meet Layla, who’s about three years old, at Animal Care & Control of NYC’s Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th St.
