📢 HALF PRICED DOG ADOPTIONS 📢

Due to the number of dogs in our care and the sheer volume of strays we are receiving, we will be offering half priced dog adoptions for the rest of the month to encourage people to adopt from the shelter. The adoption fee is typically $365 making our adoption fee $182.50 for the duration of this adoption promotion! All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and come with 2 years City of London license 🥰

***Please note that regular adoption screening is still in place***

For more information on any of our adoptable dogs, please visit www.accpets.ca or call the shelter at 519-685-1330. We are not able to answer DMs or comments in a timely manner due to being busy caring for the animals in the shelter!

📢 Calling all doodle lovers! 📢

We have two doodles looking for (separate) homes!

On the left you can see our rambunctious 10 month old golden doodle Aries. This boy is high energy and LOVES to play. He wants to be the center of attention and makes sure there is never a dull moment. He'd love an active family who will play with him and walk him lots. He is still learning his manners so needs reminders not to jump up and mouth when excited-- he's just a big, goofy puppy!

On the right we have the lovely Libra, a 2 year old female who is very docile and sweet. She loves to be loved and would like a family that will cuddle her and take her for nice walks through the park. She is more reserved than Libra and is content to lay her head in your lap for a nice scratch rather than constantly be on the go.

Please note that just because they are mixed with poodle does NOT mean they are "hypoallergenic". :)

If either of these two cuties seems like a good fit for your family, please call us at 519-685-1330 with any questions.

Tandoori, 11 month old spayed female (mixed breed)

🫣 Hello.... Are you my mother? I've been waiting and waiting for my mom to come get me but it's been a month now and she still hasn't come for me.. Did she get lost? She must have. We were supposed to be together forever, right? 🥺

My friends at the shelter said it's time for me to move on but I promised I'd always be loyal to her so I'm having a hard time accepting new people 😔

If I really have to move on, I guess I would ask for a home with another playful dog for me. Sometimes when I'm playing with my dog friends I forget to be sad for a while, it almost feels like I have a family again; one that understands me and loves me unconditionally. Having another dog around helps me feel more confident and happy, dogs are just so carefree and fun, you know? They help make meeting new people less scary, because sometimes I find new people kind of scary so I put on a big bravado act so they can't tell I'm really afraid.

I think I'd prefer a home without small kids because they are fast and loud and try to touch me without giving me time to assess them to decide if they are scary or not. Cats are okay though, they're a little freaky but I have a healthy respect for their boundaries (did you know they have sharp feet?! 😳 I found out the hard way and let me tell you, I will NOT make that mistake again. Sheeeeesh.)

If you think you and your dog can help me learn to love again, I would love to meet you.. You can call my friends at 519-685-1330 to ask my friends more about me or set up a visit to play with me. I hope I can meet your dog soon 🫣

Our dog adoption fee is $365- all of our available dogs have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and come with 2 years fee waived City of London license.

(Second picture is me & one of my old shelter friends who has been adopted, wish I could have gone with her but I know my new best friend is out there somewhere)

Did you know we have small animals for adoption?!

Marble here is looking for a new home :) If you have a guinea pig looking for a new friend, come meet this cutie at 121 Pine Valley Blvd! Guinea pigs are socials creatures and should not be housed alone so we'd love to see this girl find a friend with either another female guinea pig or a neutered male 🥰

Please call us at 519-685-1330 with any questions you may have ☺️

Louisiana, 8 years old
Bullmastiff mix (~110lbs)

Our big, beautiful brindle girl is looking for a family to love her forever & ever ❤️ This sweetheart came to us after being found wandering lost & alone outside 😔 Like all the dogs in our care, we don't know her story but her gentle demeanor breaks our hearts. How anybody could abandon this gentle soul after years of loyalty is beyond comprehension..

Louisiana is a very friendly and cuddly girl that would love a big comfy couch to lay on. She is a medium-low energy girl who enjoys her walks but is equally content to stay in and cuddle on the couch! She wouldn't mind sharing her home with the right dog who respects her space 🥰 Louisiana met a 4 year old child this weekend and was very gentle with him so we believe she would be fine in a home with respectful children.

This squishy faced girl deserves all the love in the world, she is so ready to receive as much love as she gives and we are determined to find that for her!

If you have room in your home and in your heart for our girl Louie, please give us a call at 519-685-1330.

Our dog adoption fee is $365- all of our available dogs have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and come with 2 years fee waived City of London license.

Willow, 10 month old husky mix

HELLOOOOOOOO world!! My name is Willow and I am very excited to introduce myself to you 😃

I'm a super happy-go-lucky, friendly, go go go go go kinda girl! I have been at the shelter for a couple of weeks waiting for a family to scoop me up but strangely I haven't gotten any interest- weird right?!

My favourite things include running, jumping, playing, BAAAAAALLLLLLSSSS!!!!!!! and dropping hair 🤪 I am on the smaller side, weighing about 40lbs.

I want to befriend everybody I meet, including dogs but unfortunately most of them find me annoying because well, I have a hard time remaining calm when I am just so excited to play! I would love a family with a friendly dog that can teach me some manners and won't mind my zoomies or obnoxious play style 😇 I met some kitties here and I think I would be okay to live with a dog savvy cat that isn't afraid to tell me to back off, but I may chase them if they run because chase is just such a fun game!

I haven't met any kids at the shelter but I think I would like them as long as they have experience being around super speedy pups. I need an active family that will take me for long walks or runs and although it isn't a must-have, a nice backyard to play fetch in would be a HUGE plus because fetch is my absolute favourite hobby.

I will need regular brushing to help keep up with my coat and you'll need to be okay with some hair around the house because us huskies sure have a lot of it 😅

If you think I might be a good fit for your family, please call me friends at 519-685-1330 to come play with me!

Despite our posting, Casper is still looking for his forever family 😔💔

This poor boy is not faring well in the shelter environment despite our best efforts, he wants to be with people and is feeling heartbroken without a home to call his own. We need your help to find this sweet, affectionate, clever boy a family that will give him the love he is craving so deeply.

*Short videos in comments showing this sweet boy's personality

***********************************************

Casper, 2 year old neutered male

Casper is your typical talkative husky who loves the outdoors! He is happiest when he's sunbathing or playing with his human friends out in the play pen 🥰

This handsome boy is very intelligent and looking for a husky savvy home that will keep him mentally and physically stimulated. He can be rather selective with dogs so a pet free home is preferred but he could potentially go to a home with the right friendly dog in the home 🙂

Casper, like most huskies, is not faring well in the shelter environment. Despite our best efforts to enrich his life, he knows this is not his home and is stressed in the shelter setting. We need your help finding him a family who will love him unconditionally!

If you think Casper may be the right fit for you, please call us at 519-685-1330 between 1pm-7:30pm.

An adoption fee of $365 applies- he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and comes with 2 years City of London license.

Typically our adoption fee is $230 but for the duration of our event tomorrow our Catty Shack cats will have an adoption fee of $115. All of our cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and come with two years fee waived City of London license ☺️

📢 Foster homes needed! 📢

We are currently in need of foster homes for kittens and nursing mamas! We need families like yours to give these adorable families a quiet space to grow big & strong until they are ready for adoption 🥰

LACC will provide the supplies necessary and all of the vetting while they are in your care. Once they are about 8 weeks old, they will come back to the shelter for the remainder of their vetting and adoption process!

The foster program is a great experience for those who love kittens but don't want to take on the 15-20 year commitment of owning a cat. You get to help these kittens with their social development, giving them the best chance possible at living a happy life once they find their new homes! It is a rewarding experience for everybody involved 😻

** ADOPTED!!**

Spirit, 5 year old spayed female.

You may recognize this beautiful girl from her "found" posting on K9 Ground Search - Elgin / Middlesex. She has waited and waited but no family has come forward to claim her- she is now looking for a new home!

We suspect Spirit is a Great Pyrenees x German Shepherd mix but we never know for sure since our shelter dogs come with no known history. She may have some Golden in there too!

Spirit is a calm, quiet, reserved girl who can be a bit shy with new people but is an absolute cuddle bug once she knows she's safe with you. She is very obedient and well rounded, she doesn't like when dogs bark at her but does well with dogs who are calm and respectful. Spirit has met a couple of cats at the shelter and didn't seem overly interested but may chase them if they run; with this in mind she may be okay to live in a home with dog savvy cats.

She has not met any children at the shelter but due to her shy nature, we would recommend calm children over the age of 6. Please note that *everybody* in the household must meet her before an application can be approved.

If you think this sweet girl may be a match for you, please call us at 519-685-1330 for more information! Please keep in mind we aren't able to respond to comments or messages on Facebook in a timely manner so please call with any questions.

Our dog adoption fee is $365. Spirit has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi and will come with 2 years City of London license. 🥰

After 5 loooooong months, Lebron has finally found his forever home!!!

30/04/2024

Hello again everybody, it's your favorite man in a tux.

I wanted to announce that our team meeting this morning was very productive- it has yielded the results I hoped for in a very timely manner.

Thanks to your hard work and dedication, I will be retiring to my new home today. This lovely woman applied for the position of executive assistant and I'm thrilled to announce I accepted her application.

(I think I'm already falling in love but don't mention it to HR. We don't want the paperwork.)

Arthur, 12 years old

*Ahem* 🧐

Good afternoon, fine humans. Thank you for attending my presentation today. I have asked you all here to discuss my situation and come up with a strategic plan to get me home. 🤝

My name is (King) Arthur and I am a distinguished, experienced gentleman who is looking to retire into a family that will allow me to sun bathe, bird watch and nap in their humble abode. I am very polite, quiet, clean and my partying days are behind me so you don't have to worry about me keeping you up all hours of the night. Not to toot my own horn but I truly am the perfect house mate.

Unfortunately for me, but fortunate for your furniture; my previous family had me declawed. While I wish I never had my claws taken from me, I would like to make the most of my situation and view it as something that may make me seem more adoptable as a senior citizen. A pesky kitten may scratch your furniture whereas I will simply massage it for you and fluff your pillows to perfection 🧐

Another thing I'm missing- my teeth. I have one lonely tooth left in my mouth which I'm told makes me extra "cute" (although I keep telling the young ladies here that a man as well established as myself prefers to be referred to as handsome). I prefer a soft food diet since I don't have teeth to chew with.

I believe I have made my case very clear- At the risk of sounding like an egomaniac, I am truly the best companion out here.

In summary; I am a handsome, friendly, quiet, clean, non-destructive, .... "cute" 🙄.... fellow who would do nothing less than greatly improve your quality of life if you were kind enough to allow me into your home.

Thank you for attending and good day. For further questions, please call me assistant at 519-685-1330. 🤝

We will have this adorable litter of kittens ready for adoption after 4pm today 🥰 No appointment needed, just stop by 121 Pine Valley Blvd between 4pm-7:30pm to meet these cutie pies.

Our cat adoption fee is $230- they will all be spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and have their first FVRCP vaccine, the adoption fee also includes 2 years City of London license :)

*Please note you cannot put an adoption hold on the kittens prior to meeting them.*

Fitz, 1 year old Heinz 57 (mixed breed), 80-90lbs

Fitz originally came to our shelter in February as a stray-- he was adopted and returned due to his leash reactivity.

He is a very happy, friendly, bouncy boy who loves a good game of tug! He is very intelligent and obedient but does need to continue training on his leash manners. Fitz has a habit of getting very very excited when he sees places he loves- like Pet Valu or the park! He can also be reactive to other dogs on leash. Due to his poor leash etiquette, we have begun muzzle training him and he is a quick study 🥰 He is not required to wear a muzzle but we do encourage continuing this skill while he learns how to stay calm when getting excited or approaching dogs.

The staff at the shelter LOVE playing with him and working on training because he has a great drive and is a real treat to train.

We are looking for a cat-free home with no children under the age of 10 for this bouncy boy since he is still learning not to be mouthy when excited :) A home without other dogs is preferable BUT we believe that he could live successfully with the right dog! 💕

If you think this happy, incredibly soft boy (seriously, he feels like he has rabbit fur!) might be a match for you, please call us at 519-685-1330.

Our dog adoption fee is $365-- all of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated with Advantage Multi & come with 2 years fee waived City of London license :)

Tamale, 5 year old spayed female

Are you my mother? Do.. Do you want to be? 🥺

My name is Tamale and I used to have a family but I don't know where they went. When I first came to the shelter I was so scared and angry, I just wanted to be left alone. My feelings were really hurt when my family never came to get me but the girls here at the shelter told me that sometimes that's for the best. They promised that I was safe and that they would help me find a family that will love me through thick and thin- so here I am. Putting my pride aside and asking for your help.

I'm a big girl who takes a few days to settle in before I feel safe enough to show you my soft side but once I know I can trust you I become a real big cuddle bug. I like to spend my days cozied up behind my friend on her chair while she works, happily purring away as long as I can feel contact 💕

I'm unhappy here and it's making me lose my appetite, so my shelter friends are hoping you guys can help me find a forever home where I can feel safe, loved and secure again. I'd prefer a home without small children or dogs because their noise & busy bodies stress me out. I don't love other cats but I can live with them as long as they understand I like my space! Sometimes other cats visit me in the office and I just ignore them unless they get in my personal bubble.

So.. Will you take me home and love me forever? 🥺❤️
