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.

Popcorn Shrimp

Reserved

Popcorn Shrimp is on the At Risk list due to behavior. He is not thriving in the care center and is deteriorating in the Adoptions room. He is now displaying signs of defensive aggression. Due to his stress levels, it is in his best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. He would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give him plenty of time and space and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers.

Keiko

Reserved

Keiko is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Keiko arrived at the Care Center as a stray with limited history. Upon arrival Keiko was noted to be fearful during her handling assessment, but allowed contact for a medical exam and was social with staff. With handlers Keiko has remained treat receptive, loose and wiggly for pets, and enjoys her time outside with handlers. Despite efforts to keep her comfortable, Keiko has been showing signs of deterioration. Keiko has been observed to be biting kennel bars, heavily pant in kennel, and at times has been noted to be vocalizing in kennel. Additionally, Keiko has shown signs of decreasing threshold for arousal due to her kennel frustration; occasionally jumping on handlers needing to be stiff armed away. Medically, Keiko is noted to be underweight but is otherwise apparently healthy.

Benyember

Reserved

Benyember is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. In the care center, Benyember shows significant fear in the carec center, including trembling, cowering, avoidance of leashing, and intense thrashing when overwhelmed, along with jumping and mouthing at handlers when aroused. Benyember seeks out handlers for contact and play in lower-stress areas and is able to engage with toys and social interaction, but is struggling to acclimate. Previous owner reports Benyember is a very friendly, playful, active, affectionate, and outgoing dog. Medically, Benyember is apparently healthy.

Garfield

Reserved

Garfield is on the at-risk list for medical reasons. He has a severe URI that is causing anorexia. Due to Garfield being overweight, his inappetence can cause life threatening liver complications. Garfield needs more extensive individual care and attention that we cannot provide in the shelter environment.
