In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19 all mobile adoption events have been replaced with Virtual Adoption Events!

How can I join a virtual adoption event?

The virtual adoption event's Zoom link will be posted on this page and ACC's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter when available! We hope you join us and see our wonderful boroughbreds available for adoption!

Are you still doing adoptions? How can I adopt?

Yes! We are currently doing adoptions through our website and email. All available animals are listed on our website. If you see someone you like, you can email us at adopt@nycacc.org or click the “Adopt Me” button on their profile to learn more about them and start the adoption process!

Can I meet an animal before adopting?

Once you are approved to adopt, we will arrange an interaction that complies with social distancing recommendations. If the animal is at one of our care centers, we will schedule a time for you to come in and meet the animal. If the animal is in foster care, we will coordinate a time for you to meet the animal in a way that both you and the foster are comfortable.

I’ve been applying for animals and haven’t been able to adopt yet - what can I do?

For the first time, we have more applications than animals! We are still doing adoptions on a first-come, first-served basis. Please keep checking the website for new animals and feel free to apply when you see someone new you are interested in!
