To find out the status of emergency placement animals, please visit the Emergency Placement 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 emergency placement 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.

Sheba

Reserved

Sheba needs emergency placement due to behavior concerns. Sheba was brought back to the Care Centers recently following a scuffle with another dog, fortunately without any injuries. However, in the Care Centers, she exhibits high levels of anxiety and fearful behaviors. She reacted by jumping on the pen fence and hard barking at a staff member who approached. Despite this, she does respond to treats and understands the cue sit. Medically, Sheba is healthy.

Nova

Reserved

Nova needs emergency placement due to behavior concerns. Nova's behavior in the care centers has been inconsistent. While she permits some handling, such as receiving pets on her head, she has also escalated to snapping or mouthing when feeling uncomfortable making it difficult to know if she will allow handing around her body. She leans into head scratches with select staff. Medically, Nova has dental disease, lameness on her right front, is underweight and arrived with a severe wound on her left front leg.

Bubbles

Reserved

Bubbles needs emergency placement for medical reasons. She is a senior dog with pneumonia and mammary masses. She needs a low stress environment to have the strength to clear her infection.
