AC&C encourages everyone to come to one of our three full service Care Centers when looking to adopt a pet. Beautiful dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and rabbits are anxiously waiting for a home to call their own.

To help ensure the success of each adoption, AC&C asks that you fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire. This questionnaire will help you decide what kind of pet will be the best fit for you, your family and your lifestyle.

Pre-adoption questionnaires are in html and downloadable PDF files.

To adopt an animal you must have a valid photo ID, be 18 year of age or older, proof of current address and, if you rent, your landlord's contact information. Once you arrive at one of our Care Centers, take time to view all the pets up for adoption. If you find a pet that you are interested in adopting, spend some time getting acquainted before you make a final adoption decision. AC&C's adoption counselors and volunteers will help guide you through the process.

If you are looking for a particular breed be sure to fill out a breed request form and we will contact you by e-mail when that pure-bred dog or cat comes to one of our Care Centers.

To ensure that the dogs, cats and rabbits in our Care Centers do not add to New York City's population of unwanted animals, AC&C requires every animal adopted from our Centers to be surgically sterilized (spayed or neutered).

It is important to note that some animals mayl be able to go home with you as soon as your adoption is completed but others need to stay for one more day to have their spay or neuter surgery. If you see a pet on the AC&C website that you are interested in and would like to know if the pet will require surgery before going home, please call 212-788-4000.
