October 5 is CITY HOWL!

Hot on the heels of Kitty Hall, it's City Howl! October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month, and ACC is joining with the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit and the ASPCA at City Hall Park for this special adoption event. Cute canines looking for loving families will be there (and word is some cool cats will also be sneaking on board the mobile adoption centers). Come on by and meet your new best friend!

You can apply for or renew your dog's license as well, as the NYC Health Department will be providing those services on-site. See the Facebook event >>

School Days 

It’s back-to-school time! In NYC, that means reading, writing, arithmetic and… learning about animals! As the new school year kicks off, we’re looking forward to engaging with animal lovers of all ages through many more tours and classroom conversations. Learn more >>

September Social Events
A big thank you to everyone who came out to Lucky Strike and showed their support for pitties at our summer Pit Bowl on September 12. See photos from Pit Bowl on Facebook >> 

Thank you, too, to everyone who joined us for Pups & Pints at TGI Friday's in Staten Island! See photos from Pups & Pints >>

Fall Donation Drive

Summer may have come to an end, but Fall is still a busy time for ACC. Kittens are arriving daily in need of a specialized diet, and we're also gearing up for some chillier nights when our pups may need an extra blanket. With your help we can keep bellies full and tails warm! View Wish List >>

ACC Calendar On Sale

A donation of $25 will get you our 2018 calendar, packed with can’t-get-enough-of-the-cuteness cats, dogs and rabbits from ACC. Each month a wonderful set of photos will remind you of how your support really helps NYC’s most vulnerable animals. Get your copy>>

Adoption Spotlight: Martin
"This handsome big ginger boy is a real charmer," notes an ACC volunteer. He is very playful with loads of energy and responds when you talk to him with a soft mew. He is a big head butter and rolls over onto his back to get as much attention as he can from you." See video >>
