Preparing for the Event
The ACC mobile pet adoption event is a great opportunity for animal lovers to find their new furry friends.

This is a staggering number, especially considering that the city has a population of over 8.5 million people.
The History of the Animal Care Centers
The Animal Care Centers have a rich history that dates back to 1979 when the first center was opened in Staten Island. Since then, the organization has grown and expanded to include multiple locations throughout the city. The centers have been in operation for over 40 years, providing essential services to the community.
Early Years
In the early years, the Animal Care Centers faced significant challenges. The organization had limited resources and struggled to care for the large number of animals that were brought to the shelters. However, the dedicated staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to provide the best possible care for the animals. Key milestones in the early years include: + 1979: The first Animal Care Center opens in Staten Island. + 1980s: The organization begins to expand to other locations throughout the city. + 1990s: The Animal Care Centers start to develop their adoption programs.
The Challenges of Open-Admission Shelters
The Animal Care Centers face unique challenges due to their open-admission policy. This means that any animal can be brought to the shelter, regardless of its behavior or temperament. This policy can lead to overcrowding and strain on the shelter’s resources.
Potential adopters must also be willing to provide a safe and suitable environment for the animals.
