ACC is suspending dog intake due to critical capacity issues.
If you can no longer keep a pet, you can bring it to the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC). ACC does not pick up unwanted pets from the homes of pet owners.
If the pet cannot be adopted or placed with a New Hope Partner, it may be humanely euthanized.
It is free to surrender a pet if you make an appointment. If you drop off your pet without an appointment, you will be charged $50. This fee will be put toward the cost of your pet’s care during their stay with the Care Centers.
