 Q&A With AC&C Admissions Supervisor Aleah Simpson
As NYC's only animal welfare organization that accepts every single animal that is brought to us, AC&C takes in approximately 30,000 animals each year. On July 1, AC&C launched an Admissions Department to focus on the intake process and how we can provide more meaningful service to NYC residents and their pets. Admissions Counselors provide compassionate assistance to individuals seeking to surrender their pets, and offer alternative placement for owned animals whenever possible. Aleah Simpson supervises the department and recently sat down for a Q&A. Learn more »

July Statistics
In July, we took in 3,022 cats and dogs, and 497 were adopted. Another 1,348 were placed with our dedicated New Hope partners, and 139 cats and dogs were returned to their owners. 151 animals were in foster (some of them may also be counted in other categories).
YTD (through July) we've had 3,365 cat and dog adoptions. Help us reach our goal of adopting out 1,000 more animals than we did last year!
Statistics for each month--cats, dogs, and other animals--are available online toward the end of the following month.
