SAFE 6/7/18 This delicious nugget of a girl came to ACC after being found as a stray and brought in by our Animal Rescue Team. She has some swelling on her face that will require further follow-up care, but she will reward you with all the snuggles and head-butts you can stand. Bon Bon is a staff favorite and are all rooting for her!
Don Don was found in a building as a stray and appeared to have some facial swelling. She was not happy when she came in however, is more social and affectionate. She will need follow up medical care and will need placement after stray hold.
