Kuranda ShelterBeds

Give a homeless pet a comfortable place to rest by donating a Kuranda ShelterBed! Your gift ships directly to our care center and helps keep dogs and cats comfortable while they wait for loving homes.

Wish Lists

Send needed items directly to ACC from our Chewy or Amazon Wish Lists and you can help feed and comfort the Boroughbreds in our care.

Legacy Giving

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift to ACC in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

For more information on Legacy Giving, please view ACC’s Guide to Gift Planning or contact us at [email protected].

Together we can end animal
homelessness in NYC.
