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.

Blueberry

Reserved

Blueberry is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Blueberry is a sweet boy who was brought in as stray with a urinary obstruction that was difficult to unblock. He had a urinary catheter in place for 3 days and has been able to pass urine since the catheter was removed, but has continued to be uncomfortable when passing urine despite pain management. Blueberry may have had some kidney damage from his obstruction, but so far that has been managed with subcutaneous fluids. Blueberry needs a stress free environment with more care than we are able to provide in shelter.

Puff

Reserved

Puff is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Puff is a friendly geriatric dog with several medical conditions that would benefit from evaluation at a full service vet clinic. He is ataxic in the hind end, suspected to be blind, luxating patella, and a low grade heart murmur. Puff will need ongoing maintenance with his medical conditions and further follow up with outside vet care. Puff has allowed all handling and seeks attention during their exams.
