Dogs at AC&C's Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island shelters are sleeping more comfortably during their stay at the shelter, thanks to a donation by the Mayor's Alliance of 156 new dog beds. The new beds are valued at more than $8,000.

On September 29, 2004, the Mayor's Alliance hosted an informal get-together at the offices of the New York City Bar Association for AC&C's New Hope Coordinators and representatives from 10 breed rescue organizations. The gathering provided the AC&C staff members with an unusual and valuable opportunity to get to know some of the breed rescuers who work collaboratively with AC&C to move pure breed animals out of the city's shelters and into the care of breed rescue groups — on their way to permanent homes.

And we're delighted to report that wheels are turning!…The new Alliance transport van that you read about in last month's Out of the Cage! has been on the road transporting AC&C animals to other area shelters and rescue groups on the first leg of their journey to permanent loving homes.
