Shelter Scholar – A title given to shelter dogs actively engaged in training and enrichment programs to develop skills that help manage and improve their behavior. Through positive reinforcement, stress-reducing activities, and structured enrichment, our Shelter Scholars learn to regulate their emotions and build confidence—setting them up for success while equipping their future adopters or fosters with the tools to continue their growth.
ACC remains open for adoptions, drop-off of animals that require emergency medical care or that pose a public safety risk and those being dropped off by government agencies.
