About us

Sitting on 129 scenic acres, ACS is a truly perfect setting for an animal sanctuary and shelter. Our Canine Care facility is well-maintained and fully staffed with caring and dedicated individuals who are committed to ensuring that the ACS residents are well cared for regardless of the length of their stay. The Canine Care building is 400 feet in length, which is less than optimal for the residents and the caregivers, and therefore we are in the process of remodeling the building through the addition of separating walls and real-life rooms. The size and location of the living space of each individual dog within the Canine Care building is carefully selected to best meet the needs of every resident. A high quality diet is fed to our dogs twice daily, including special foods for those who have unique dietary requirements. We work diligently to reduce the stress levels of the dogs in Canine Care. Indoor enrichment, such as stuffed Kongs, Nylabones, and toys are available to the dogs, and the staff and volunteers interact with the dogs as much as possible including walks through the fields, wading in the ponds, quiet time at an out-of-the-way picnic table, and positive reinforcement training.

Our cattery stands out as an exceptionally clean and well organized example of cat sheltering. With a capacity for over 600 cats, it takes a large team of individuals to maintain the high standards of cleanliness ACS upholds. Time for socialization and one-on-one care for the cats is scheduled into each employee’s day, so as to ensure that the cats are receiving everything they need to be happy, healthy cats. We have begun creating communal cat rooms and enclosures to best provide for the socialization and “colony-mind” of the cats that are living here. By the end of February 2010 we will be adding 10 more communal enclosures to house an additional 100 total cats from our individual cages here. We are developing a partnership with Cornell Shelter Veterinary Medicine Program... show more
