Make your weekend a shelter pet's getaway and take a dog on a Straycation!

A Straycation is a short-term foster where a shelter dog gets to leave the kennel and enjoy time in a real home. Think of it as a mini vacation from the shelter, with all the comforts that come with it: a couch, a walk around the block, or simply a quiet nap by your side. It is an easy way for anyone to make a big difference in a dog’s life.

By giving dogs a break from the shelter, we help them recharge, shine, and get one step closer to finding their forever homes.

Learn more at nycacc.org/straycation. Sign up for ACC's Virtual Large Dog Foster Orientation on Sunday, September 21 to get started!

We’re so excited to partner with for our SOLD OUT regional event, “High Arousal and Reactivity in the Urban Environment” this April!

Reactivity in city environments can be overwhelming, but we’ve spent the last 15 years working closely with NYC dogs and their humans—and we’re so excited to share our experience with other dog care experts.

My heart is so full when I look at this picture of fine friends. Fifteen YEARS of helping dogs and their humans, making friends and family, learning and evolving. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest girl alive. Thank you to everyone past and present who has made this company the heart-forward, ethically conscious, fun and beautiful community that it is today.
