My Nonprofit Reviews

So just like ACC's "wellness wing" or "emergency placement list", "Great NonProfits" are words without meaning. Great Non Profits awards a stamp (which ACC proudly displays on its website) based on no objective criteria-just posts from people that cant be fact checked through a reputable organization. People posting for ACC apparently have no idea what actually goes on at ACC.

ACC has a contract with NYC-They do not work tirelessly to "take in" animals. They do not help "lost" animals. In fact they do everything they can to prevent surrenders. They counsel people to leave cats outside without providing facts for people to know if the cat is lost or feral. Read their flyer. If the cat isn't injured, they don't want it. Let it reproduce until it's killed by a car. No problem for ACC. ACC is an "open admission" shelter-do you think that means you can surrender a pet? Look at their website. You must complete a survey, wait for a return call (that often doesn't come for two weeks), try alternatives they want you to try, and then, if you can get them back on the phone, maybe they will give you an appointment. People leave there crying because their lease is up and they cant take a pet but ACC staff says make an appointment. Tell management? They will look into it... HAH. nothing changes. Open admissions, to ACC, means that the animal was left tied to a pole or in a box outside their building. Everyone else, they know better than you whether your animal should be surrendered. I have adopted all my pets from ACC. But that is only because they survived ACC. They didn't get sick and euthanized because of the horrendous conditions. If you adopted a dog from ACC, it's because the dog didn't contract CIRDC-cause the ones that do are euthanized. (By the way, how many healthy dogs are in the "wellness wing"? zero. The emergency placement list? It's the kill list.) so yes, be happy for your pet-but don't forget about all of the ones that spent their last days in substandard conditions until they get sick and die because ACC won't administer enough antibiotics to save them.
