ACC is thrilled to announce the receipt of a $50,000 grant from PEDIGREE Foundation. This grant will launch a groundbreaking program dedicated to supporting dogs in foster care, particularly those with behavioral challenges. With the generous support of PEDIGREE Foundation, we can expand our foster network and provide invaluable resources to caregivers, ultimately improving the quality of life for these dogs and increasing their chances of adoption success.

Through the grant, ACC is looking to hire a Canine Behavior and Outreach Foster Trainer. This brand-new role will focus on creating training plans and running daily behavior modification sessions for ACC foster dogs. This role will also be designing and providing low-stress handling training to staff, volunteers, fosters, and adopters to learn how to gently modify challenging behaviors.
