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.

Apollo

Reserved

Apollo is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. While in the care center, Apollo has consistently displayed dog reactivity, including growling, hard barking, lunging, and hard staring at other dogs in the kennel, yard, and on walks. He has also shown reactivity toward small dogs and has bitten kennel bars while attempting to reach another dog and has also barked at novel staff members in the hallway. Despite these behaviors, Apollo is social and affectionate with handlers, readily accepting petting, leaning into people for attention, and responding well to treats but is struggling to acclimate despite best efforts to keep him comfortable. Medically, Apollo is apparently healthy.
