New York City’s bustling streets are a constant reminder that one of the best things about this city is the people—and pets—we get to share it with. For many New Yorkers, some of the best companions happen to have four legs. 🐾
Now, dozens of dogs at Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) are waiting for their furever homes, and there’s an extra incentive to bring one home. The shelter is currently at full capacity, with dozens of dogs living in temporary crates, so ACC has launched a special adoption promotion to help get these pups into loving homes.

What’s Included in the Promo?
To ease shelter overcrowding and help new pet parents transition seamlessly, the pop-up adoption package offers key savings and incentives:
- 100% Waived Adoption Fees: Standard fees are completely covered for all dogs selected for the promotion.
- $50 Chewy Gift Card: Every successful adoption includes a gift card to cover essential starter supplies like food, bowls, toys, or leashes.
