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.

Blue Tang

Reserved

Blue Tang is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Blue Tang arrived as an owner surrender via NYPD. Blue Tang's previous owner noted he is high energy, playful, and outgoing. Upon his arrival Blue Tang was noted to be fearful but allowed all handling for his medical exam. Despite efforts to keep him comfortable, Blue Tang has been showing fearful defensive behaviors and increased kennel reactivity. Blue Tang has been reported to be difficult to handle safely at times; when clipping his leash to be returned to kennel, Blue Tang has been observed to turn and snap at the leash. He also has been observed to be kennel fighting- pulling towards occupied kennels and hard barking. When in play yard with staff, Blue Tang has been social, allowed contact, and is receptive to treats. Medically, Blue Tang is apparently healthy.

Luci

Reserved

Luci is on the at-risk list for medical reasons. Luci was diagnosed with urethral obstruction, was unblocked, and urinary and IV catheters were placed. These catheters should remain in place for 72 hours and ideally Luci would be in a 24 hour vet hospital for continuous monitoring through the night. Luci has a poor appetite at this time. Behaviorally, he has allowed all handling and even leans into petting.

Brownie Boy
