It’s our annual report from ACC alum Lily: “Hi ACC, It’s me, Libby… It’s been another adventure filled year as I celebrate my 8th year in my forever home. This year for my annual update I thought I’d share a typical day. It begins when mom gets up for work, she walks us all one by one (she says it’s so we can each have some alone time with her). Then comes breakfast, before mom leaves for work she hides boiled chicken around the house and once she leaves we go on our scavenger hunt (I used to have separation anxiety when I first arrived and would get into everything, mom says that’s not a problem anymore once I realized I get treats). Next we settle in for a nap till dad wakes up and takes us outside.He plays with us for an hour or so till he has to go to work, another nap… Mom comes home and she plays with us in our backyard for a while (backyard pic of us on bottom right) We then hang out until dinner time.

On mom’s days off that’s when we get our special outings to the park, the beach or various new places, and we do it all over again. Here are a few pictures of me and my housemates. Anyway, thanks again for finding me my perfect home. I’ll see ya all next year. Happy Pitbull Awareness Month… Libby”

Chunk has left the building! He’s headed home with his new family, including a new canine big sister.

“His name is Mint. My boyfriend and I adopted him at 11 weeks old, on Father’s Day in June 2021. I was initially apprehensive about adopting another cat, but when I saw him on the Animal Care & Control Facebook page, I instantly fell in love. We decided to keep the name given to him, because it’s perfect. We were told that he was found at a bus stop, which tugged at our heartstrings even more. Naturally, he was shy and nervous when we took him home, but he quickly warmed up to us–especially our cat Luna. He spends his day cuddling up with her, grooming her, and playing with her. He also loves to sit with his papa and suckle on his fuzzy blankie. He has gotten super big, but I don’t think he realizes it because he still likes to squeeze himself wherever Luna is. He is so sweet and so friendly (especially at the vet), we feel lucky to have him in our little family and thankful for whoever saved him that one fateful day at the bus stop.”
