Thank you for your interest in adopting from Animal Care Centers of NYC. Our At-Risk List is posted three times a week, on the evenings of Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 6:00PM and remains viewable for 42 hours.

Schedule overview:

To find out the status of at-risk animals, please visit the At-Risk Outcomes page.

If this is your first time visiting this site, please read the below information carefully.

For anyone who wishes to adopt, there is a mandatory deposit fee of $200 plus a transaction fee per animal to place an adoption reservation. The $200 covers $50 toward the adoption fee and $150 for the spay/neuter deposit. If the animal has already been spayed or neutered or is permanently waived by one of our veterinarians, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time of the adoption. If the animal does need to leave without being spayed or neutered due to his/her medical condition, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time they are brought back for the spay/neuter surgery or when proof of sterilization being done elsewhere is provided to ACC. If you do not follow through with the adoption, the entire $200 deposit will be considered a charitable donation to ACC's Special Treatment and Recovery Fund (STAR). Also, if the adoption fee for an animal is less than $50, the difference will be considered a charitable donation to the STAR Fund. Similarly, in-shelter pricing promotions do not apply to at-risk animals.

To complete an adoption, please click reserve on the animal of your choice. That animal will be loaded in your cart and you will have 15 minutes to complete the adoption process. In order to complete your reservation, you need to check out (top right corner). At this point, you will enter in your credit card information and a receipt will be emailed to you as confirmation of your reservation. If you have any issues, please email adopt@nycacc.org for help navigating the website.

Arlo

Reserved

Arlo is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. In the care center, Arlo has shown defensive behavior when being returned to his kennel, including stiffening, hard barking, lunging, and snapping toward handlers through the kennel door. During one incident, he lunged toward a handler's face while being placed back into his kennel. Outside of his kennel, Arlo is social with handlers, allows handling and being picked up, and solicits attention. Medically, Arlo is healthy at this time. Arlo would benefit from a routine dental cleaning and maintaining regular grooming.

Fiona

Reserved

Fiona is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Fiona has mild abdominal distension, generalized muscle loss, dorsal tail alopecia, decreased range of motion in hind limb and a soft mass near her left shoulder/chest. Bloodwork revealed markedly elevated values, indicating a high possibility of Cushing's disease, cancerous or abnormal growth, and/or other endocrinopathies. Urinalysis values also indicate potential underlying endocrine disease. Fiona has remained clinically stable with a good appetite. Further diagnostics, including abdominal ultrasound and Cushing's testing, are recommended after placement. Hospice/palliative care is also a reasonable option dependent on quality of life and available resources. Behaviorally, Fiona has been fearful at times but warms up quickly to handlers. She enjoys an easy stroll, will take treats hard, and enjoys pets.
