ACC's New Hope Program

Finding homes for New York City’s vulnerable homeless animal population

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.

All animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered (if possible) prior to placement
When possible, animals will be transported from the shelter to the New Hope partners designated address at no-cost
