UPDATE: this baby (and the three who came after him today!) have all been placed. Still interested in fostering? Please email in to start your foster journey; we are getting new kittens in need of bottle feeding almost daily.

Looking for weekend plans? Look no further! This dashingly handsome two day old is looking for a dedicated bottle feeder through at least the weekend; email [email protected] to commit to picking him up tonight. He is clean, chunky, and warming up in the incubator right now before his first feed here.

UPDATE: he latched immediately on a miracle ni**le and happily took 4.5ml of formula. 🐾

Looking for somebunny to love? Nanna is a spayed, adult female New Zealand mix looking for a home- and she’s available TODAY!

Rabbits make engaging, hilarious pets for homes that are equipped to care for them. They need appropriate amounts of bunny proofed space, continual access to long stem forage, and a balanced diet to thrive.

Nanna is engaging, social, and while she will allow herself to be picked up without issue she much prefers to explore and engage at her own pace, with all four feet on the floor. She uses a litterbox well and can frequently be found stretched out, napping.

Stop by ACAR between 10:30 and 5 to make her part of your family!

Longtime lovable Dawson checking in from foster!

10yo Dawson is a spunky senior with personality plus! He has lived with both large and small dogs and done well, is crate and potty trained, is social and easygoing in public, knows a variety of tricks, and is the definition of a Velcro dog- he loves to follow his people around the house, though he is happy to snooze when his foster goes to work.

Dawson has been looking for a home since January- is that home yours? Email [email protected] to arrange a meet and greet!

Rosie the Riveter checking in from a recent foster outing!

Rosie enjoyed greeting her foster family when they would get home from work, playing with the resident pup, following the teenage children around the house, and most importantly…the blue bucket chair. 🪑🪣

Have an empty chair? Need an 8yo pittie mix to warm it up? Come down to ACAR and bring Rosie the Riveter home for a fee waived adoption…you CAN do it!

Sadie Hawkins checking in from foster!

Sadie went to foster recently, where she has proven to have wonderful house manners, put on a fashion show, had a spa day, and even made a horse friend! She is described as a lounger who can be a little reserved meeting new people, but who quickly warms up. She is generally quiet in the home unless someone is at the door.

These foster outings make such a different for our adoptable pups; giving us more information about their preferences in a home, a chance to showcase their personalities, and providing some well deserved decompression time from the kennel setting.

Interested in offering our adoptable pups 3-21 day outings from the shelter? (Interested in adopting Sadie Hawkins?) Email [email protected] to get started!

Short term foster alert!

Beef Jerky is a 4yo, 60lb neutered male who is looking for a one week foster commitment where he can relax and recover from a bit of a bad hair day.

Beef walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and outside of when he’s playing with toys -he’ll do anything for a squeaky toy- is a fairly low energy dude. He doesn’t mind coexisting in the company of other dogs, but is more of a people guy than a dog’s dog. We have no history on Beef with cats or children.

Interested in fostering? Email [email protected] to get started; the shelter provides all food, supplies, and needed medical care.

Interested in adopting this dreamboat? He is available! Come down during open hours to take him home- fee waived!
