If you’re looking for a dog or a cat, go to a CACC shelter – you’ll save hundreds of dollars, not to mention a life. Manhattan’s has the most animals; Brooklyn’s has a parking lot; those in Queens and the Bronx are the smallest; Staten Island’s is small but relatively new. If you go on a Saturday, bring a book – the wait could be two hours, but it’s worth it: Most people who have adopted shelter animals wouldnever dream of setting foot in apet store again.
