The shelter can house up to 200 animals. On any given day there are normally 130 plus animals living at the shelter. During the spring months the shelter is overflowing and over capacity. AAC relies heavily on volunteers to assist in caring for the animals. The volunteers give the animals the extra love and attention that these pets need.
Volunteers assist in walking, grooming and training of the animals.
They also take pets on 'therapy' visits to nursing homes and hospitals. Some AAC volunteers and staff foster animals in their homes. It takes a lot for the volunteers and staff to take these animals into their hearts and homes. The entire staff and volunteer force are exceptional and are greatly appreciated for their love of animals, hard work and dedication. We hope that you will find our web site informative and hope that you will come by and visit our facility, our staff, our volunteers and, of coarse, our furry residents.
