Interested in hosting an ACC Mobile Adoption Event?
Please note: The mobile adoption truck is 26 ft long and 11.5 ft tall. We cannot do events inside of parking garages, and our passenger side door must be able to be safely accessed from the sidewalk. We cannot park in bus lanes/bike lanes, etc. Adoptions events are usually on Saturdays or Sundays from 12pm – 4pm. Our Mobile Adoption truck is in high demand, and we typically book events several months in advance. We only do events in NYC.
