Our shelter has adorable puppies (under 1 year old, or just over a year old) ready to find their forever homes this spring! These little ones are full of love and energy—but remember, puppies need training, patience, and time to learn the routine in their new home.

If you’re ready for the commitment (and the cuddles), come meet your lucky charm today! We are open until 12:30 p.m., and then again this afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

(We included a few other pets looking for their forever homes in this post, too!)

Help our longest-stay dogs find their forever homes!

These amazing pets have been at the shelter, waiting far too long for someone to choose them... for someone to see how special they truly are.

They’re loving. They’re loyal. And they’re so ready to go home.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, please consider giving one of these overlooked pets the second chance they deserve.

Visit the shelter, meet our longest residents, and adopt your new best friend today.

FOSTER A PET & CHANGE A LIFE

Why foster a pet from the ACC?

Fostering a pet allows you to help an animal in need by providing a comfortable and less noisy atmosphere for them to wait for their forever families. It also allows you to test out what it's like to have the pet in your home.

Fostering also helps the shelter! It helps us learn more about the pet. Pets act differently in a home environment- where they may be more comfortable to be themselves. Often in a shelter environment, we don't know how a pet handles loud noises (like cars), or the full extent of their training.

Can you open your heart and home to an animal in need?

Any pet available for adoption can be fostered through the ACC. All ACC pets are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped for safety.

MEET THE LAND HIPPO

Our resident land hippo, Gloria, is looking for her forever home.

Gloria is a hefty girl at 87 pounds, named for a character from the animated 2000s movie 'Madagascar'. (Don't worry, Gloria is on a diet to help her lose weight). Gloria is grey and has a wild, lightning-bolt pattern of white fur down her side.

Gloria is playful, friendly, and slightly goofy. She loves nothing more than snuggling into a thick, fluffy blanket after a day of fun. Gloria's cheerful demeanor makes her a delightful companion, always ready to brighten your day.

Gloria is unsure about other dogs, but has shown positive interest in others. A meet-and-greet with any other dogs in the home is strongly recommended.

Meet Gloria and our other adoptables TODAY! Your best friend might be waiting for you right now. All ACC adoptions are fee-free. All ACC adoptables are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

DON'T OVERLOOK THE OVERLOOKED

Did you know amazing black cats and dogs often wait longer for adoption because of something called “Black Dog Syndrome”? It’s the outdated myth that darker-coated pets are less friendly, less photogenic, or somehow less adoptable. (Spoiler alert: they’re NOT. They’re iconic.)

Black dogs are loyal, goofy, and sure to be your bestie. By your side, like your shadow. Black cats are sleek little house panthers and certified cuddlers. Both are sure to be lifelong besties.

They look like tiny shadows following you around (in a cute way, not a horror-movie way), and they absolutely glow in the sunshine.

Visit the ACC, meet the pets. Change a life. All ACC adoptions are fee-free. All ACC adoptables are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.
