SAFE 5/19/17 A volunteer writes: The Mona Lisa painting is gorgeous, but our Mona beats her hands down! She has such expressive green eyes! When you are in front of her kennel, she comes right up and tells you she wants to be petted. Mona is very decisive about what she wants. Don’t let the number fool you. She is very playful. She likes to be held. She likes treats. Come to the Manhattan Animal Care Center and be awestruck at how wonderful she is!
***Mona is a sweet senior girl who was surrendered to the shelter because her owners new residence doesn’t allow pets. Please be the new family who happily welcomes Mona into their home.
