The New Hope Program is ACC’s proactive community initiative aimed at finding homes for New York City’s homeless animal population, especially those that require specialized medical care or behavior training.
New Hope Partners take ownership of ACC animals and either place them into permanent homes immediately through their own adoption processes, or care for them offsite prior to finding permanent homes. Any registered 501c3* can apply to become a partner.
You may e-mail questions to New Hope. An online application form may be found here.
Organizations that are established as an animal shelter, an animal welfare organization, animal rescue organization or veterinary hospital may be eligible to participate in our New Hope program.
* If the organization is a 501(c)3 organized under the laws of the State of New York, proof of registration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
Because New Yorkers stepped up by adopting, fostering and spreading the word, ACC now has room to accept owner surrenders by appointment.
But we’re not in the clear. Animals arrive every day, and we need your help to keep space available for those who need us most.
Keep adopting. Keep fostering. Keep ACC top of mind.
