New Hope

The New Hope program is AC&C’s proactive community initiative aimed at finding homes for New York City’s unwanted pet population.  To accomplish this, AC&C establishes and cultivates mutually-beneficial and productive relationships with cat, dog and exotic animal placement organizations that assist and partner with AC&C in placing animals, many of which may require specialized medical care or behavior training. New Hope partners take ownership of AC&C animals and care for them in shelters, foster homes, boarding facilities, and/or their own private facilities prior to placing them in permanent homes through their own adoption processes. 

Organizations that are established as an animal shelter, animal welfare organization, animal rescue organization, or veterinary hospital may be eligible to participate in the New Hope program. Interested parties should contact us at newhopeprogram@nycacc.org to receive further information on the program and application process.

Please consider joining us to help find homes for New York City’s animals!
