Although AC&C typically has puppies and kittens available for adoption, we encourage all potential adopters to consider the rewards of adopting an adult animal. Many young adult animals enter the shelter system full of energy and youthfulness but beyond the early stages of housebreaking and chewing. Many middle age animals are available to provide wonderful companionship without the demands of early age training or adolescent boisterousness.

Evidence shows that adult animals are able to bond with a new adoptive family that provides a secure, consistent environment. Some adjustment is always needed but can be facilitated by knowing the animal may be housetrained, respects certain rules and may even be happy to demonstrate the tricks it learned in its previous home. Discovering these little personality traits can be so much fun and ever so rewarding. Adopters are encouraged to speak to AC&C adoption staff about the availability of adult animals.
