The City of New York is making a transformative investment in ACC over the next several years, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Funding will be used to:
These new shelters will be three or four times larger than our current shelters, which are housed in buildings over 50 years old. We hope to fully complete this game-changing transformation of ACC’s care centers in stages by 2027.
Alongside this physical transformation and capital investment from the City, ACC is launching its own multi-year fundraising initiative to provide best-in-class services inside these best-in-class buildings, innovating and expanding our offerings and impact in both scope and equity throughout NYC.
ACC operates as the city’s only open-admission sheltering organization, never turning any animal away. It is our mission to end animal homelessness in New York City. Every year, ACC works with over 25,000 animals – both inside the shelter and outside in the community. Since 2018 we have consistently placed over 92% of the pets in our care. And, we help people too! Our Community Pets Program offers resources to pet owners throughout the five boroughs with everything from medical care, to tenant advocacy, to free pet food from our food pantry.
While the City is providing funding for our construction and capital expenses, and related core staff salaries, ACC seeks funding to innovate and lead in animal welfare. Support from the private sector will help ACC fully realize the potential of the City’s investment to lay the foundation for a completely new landscape for animal welfare in all our communities.

ACC faces unique challenges by the very nature of caring for tens of thousands of homeless animals each year. Your support can help ACC improve animal health, prevent disease, increase adoption rates, and provide species-specific enrichment activities. Our Campaign for the Future promises best-in-class care for NYC’s shelter animals in search of forever, loving homes—inspiring hope and new beginnings for every animal that enters our doors.
Ending animal homelessness begins with expanding care to both animals and people. We know that animal surrender is often seen as the only option for individuals experiencing hardship or temporary housing issues. But we also know that animals are family: sources of social and emotional support, affection, and love. Your support can help ACC expand our safety net programs that help under-resourced people feed and care for their animals throughout their lives. Your investment in ACC’s Campaign for the Future ensures more pets stay in the arms of those who love them.
Recognizing the lack of veterinary and animal welfare services for people with pets in NYC, ACC’s new state-of-the-art care centers will boldly expand access to our services for animals and people in all five boroughs. Your support will help ACC provide local education, volunteer, and engagement opportunities in new communities—and allow us to tailor our programs as we learn what each neighborhood needs most. By joining ACC’s Campaign for the Future, you ensure that every community and every pet can access the resources and care they deserve.
