Time for a #BoroughBreak!
Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) is proud to announce 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. Whether you already have a dog or aren't ready to have one, it's a great way to get your pet fix in.
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 come to our Manhattan location at 326 East 110th Street anytime between 10AM - Noon on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25.
Participants will need to fill out a brief form and provide gov't issued ID.

Want someone to hop along to the hits? Or encourage better snacking habits? Any boroughbred rabbit would jump at the chance to come home with a buddy like you.
Need some help exploring new parts of your apartment or just help keeping all the invisible ghosts away? Our boroughbred cats are always there to help, and there to nap.
Looking for a friend who's always excited to see you? Or maybe just someone to toss the old ball around. A boroughbred pup will always be at your side, except when the food is on the other side of the room.
