ACC Animal Services Adoption Process:
All adoptions are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the timestamp of the online application submitted through PetPlace.
Animals that arrive as strays are placed on a 5-day hold to allow time for their owners to reclaim them. During this period, stray animals cannot be adopted or transferred, but interested adopters may submit an application through their PetPlace profile to be considered once the hold ends.
What to bring to adopt:
- Valid photo ID (Driver's License or Passport)
- Proof of age (must be 18 or older to adopt)
- Payment (cash, credit or debit card)
- Carrier for a cat or leash and collar for a dog
How to apply:
- Browse animals on our website.
- Click the animal's picture an then the "Interested in this Animal? Click here!" button to submit your application online.
- We will contact you to schedule an adoption appointment.
Stray Hold Policy:
- Animals that arrive as strays are placed on a 5-day hold for owners to reclaim.
- Applications may be submitted during this period.
- Once the hold ends, animals are available to adopters and rescue groups on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Highly adoptable pets may have multiple applications; we recommend calling before your appointment to confirm availability.
