Happy Tail: Whiskey
In June, Whiskey was brought to AC&C as a stray from the Bronx. In July, she was adopted by a wonderful family, who wrote in recently with a great update. "She is truly my own personal therapy dog," Lee notes. "I'm dedicated to giving her a loving, stable, happy home and life." Learn more »
