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.

Tiny

Reserved

Tiny is at risk due to behavior concerns. Tiny has shown signs of kennel deterioration as well as kennel fighting while trying to remove her from kennel. In kennel Tiny will jump up on her door and bark rapidly when she sees other dogs or people pass her kennel. These behaviors have persisted, despite our best efforts to try and keep her comfortable. Medically, Tiny is apparently healthy.

Barklee

Reserved

Barklee is at risk due to behavioral reasons. During his stay in the care center Barklee has been obsvered to be highly fearful noted to quickly escalate to thrashing and pancaking while on leash. While with handlers Barklee remains tense and he is not receptive to treats. Medically, Barklee is apparently healthy. We do have Barklee under observation for potential exposure to parvovirius but at this time Barklee is non-symptomatic.

Remy

Reserved

Remy is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Remy is a friendly dog who was surrendered when his owners moved. Remy was stated to be 14 years old and presented underweight. Despite increasing his feedings, Remy has continued to lose weight in care. Recently, he has come down with CIRDC. Remy would benefit from a quiet environment where he can recover and be seen by a full service veterinary hospital for his weight loss.

Haley

Reserved

Haley is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Haley has not acclimated well to the shelter environment, remaining highly fearful and avoidant of interaction with handlers/staff, and is reluctant to leave her crate or cross through thresholds when trying to walk her out of the building, pancaking and thrashing lightly at times. Medically, Haley is apparently healthy.

During his assessment Johnny B. was obsvered to rush towards the assess-a-hand, bite and hold it. He then remained tense and hovering over the toy. Medically, Johnny Boy has corneal scarring and is matted.

Frankie

Reserved

Frankie is on the at-risk list for medical reasons. Frankie is a geriatric cat with anemia and suspected underlying illness. She is stable and active, eating very well in care, but will need additional diagnostics with placement vs palliative/geriatric care.
