ACC is partnering with ASPCA for a special adoption promotion at the Staten Island Care Center, part of the nationwide campaign.

Join us on Sunday, September 21, from 11am to 5pm to meet some of the incredible dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs waiting for their forever homes. Adoption fees will be waived* for all animals at Staten Island ACC on this day.

When you adopt just one animal, you are not only changing their life, you are also helping more animals get the care they need. It is a powerful chain reaction that starts with one compassionate choice. That is the heart of The Rescue Effect: when we help one, we help many.

We've been working hard to get dogs out of the shelter and between transports to rescue partners and foster families we are running out of large dog crates. To ensure we have enough on hand and in case they are needed for straycations we are asking for crate donations from the community! Find large dogs crates on our amazon wishlist at https://www.nycacc.org/amazonwishlist.

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!

Visit nycacc.org/foster to sign up for ACC's upcoming Virtual Cat Foster Orientation on Sunday, September 21 @ 11am!

A 90-minute orientation is all it take to get started on your foster journey and helping homeless pets in need.

Fostering is free and open to anyone 18 or older, with ACC providing all the supplies and medical care you’ll need. All you provide is a safe space, your time, and the TLC that helps a Boroughbred in need.

Fostering plays a vital role in a shelter animal’s journey to their forever home. It gives pets the chance to decompress, recover from illness, and build the social skills that prepare them for adoption. Take the first step by signing up for one of our upcoming Virtual Foster Orientations.
