DOG OF THE WEEK

Why Choose Me?

"My owner brought me in because he and his family can no longer care for me. I weigh 60 pounds at only 8 months of age, so I probably have a bit more growing to do, but not much. I really enjoy car rides and I get along great with small children. In fact, my former home had a three year old who loved to use me as a pillow, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Please hurry and give me a second chance at a permanent home!"

ACC Success Stories!

 In the sad world of pound puppies, we all need a few smiles and a few  reasons to celebrate.  Click here to be taken right to the success stories!! And get ready to smile!!

Why Choose Me?

"We have our vaccines. We love to eat all together. We love to meet other dogs and puppies! What else can we say? We are happy here, but we don?t know how much our life is in danger. There are too many of us puppies here this week.  We definitely need good owners that will take care of us and will not let us end up here ever again! Please come and check us out! We are funny, loving, and absolutely beautiful. We are clumsy and still learning the basics skills of running and walking. One at a time, or 2 at a time, we will find our way out of here. Let?s hope it is the right way of getting out of here."

Why Choose Me?

"I was lost and ended up here, but where is my home? I am a little boy, just 40 pounds, very energetic and happy. I love people, dogs, and I want to have fun and make the best out of the experience of being here. If you are angel, come, hurry, let?s go. I want to sleep in a soft cushion; I want to lick you and be in your arms and love you until the day I die!"

Why Choose Me?

"I am new to the world, and of course I am very curious and would like to learn everything TODAY! It would be neat to see the world through your eyes, because so far I only know that people pick me up, say how cute I am, but then it's back to the cage. It would be nice to learn from today on...to learn that the in the world there is love and care and all that good stuff. Would you teach me that?"

Why Choose Me?

"Hi there, I am a real lady who is very confused here. I am very quiet and calm, and can?t understand why everybody here barks so much. I have a beautiful coat of fur, and my personality is very sweet.  I am submissive but a little scared, as are many dogs in this loud, scary place! But it doesn?t take long at all for you to see into my heart and know that I am a great, beautiful dog who can be your best friend forever. Please hurry! Let?s get the paperwork done and go home."

Why Choose Me?

"This is fun! I am getting a lot of attention here. In my short life I have been very lost and scared, but here they even feed me! I am full grown at around 45 pounds. So from here on, it?s just a matter of learning more about life and loving my future mom or dad whom I can?t wait to meet!  I want to be the best girl I can for you! I'll greet you with a wag and a lick after a hard day at work. Please take me home and you'll have an unconditional friend for life!"

Why Choose Me?

"Here in our run, my sister Sophie and I are doing all we can to learn what is life about. We have a lot to learn, but we already know that what matters is we are together and not alone in this scary place. We love companionship!  We sleep on top of each other and when sis finally wakes up, we play, eat, drink water, and then sleep again! It is a very simple life that I would like to share with you if you will open up your heart and let me in!"

Why Choose Me?

"Forgive my photo please.  I am just waking up. I am a tiny baby and when I eat I get sleepy, and after I sleep I get hungry, and then I get sleepy again. Ah, the life of a pupy!:-) I have a bunch of friends here, and we play all day long. Please come see me when I am awake...or fall in love with me as I am dreaming. I promise my eyes will touch your heart, and you will see what a wonderful dog I am."

Why Choose Me?

"Want someone to make you grin and laugh after a long, hard day? I'm your guy! Just call me really smart and funny Monte! And I love teasing my big sister, Mona! We play great together, and we are so cute that everybody wants to pick us up all the time! I am not going to be a big guy when I grow up...I'll always stay pretty small. We used to live in an apartment, but our owner couldn?t have us there. Funny, because of all the breeds, we are perfect for a small space. It would be great if I could take my sister to my new home too, but if you cannot take us both, I will certainly adjust and I promise to do well at my job of making  you laugh for the rest of your life! "

"My brother Monte and I were brought here because my owner couldn't have us in his apartment. Except when we walk down the corridor and all the doggies bark at us. We play run & hide, we don?t know what to do!! We are beautiful and gracious makes people want to pick us up. We would be a wonderful addition to your family if you take us both! Together we have fun chasing each other and since we are going to be small, taking care of us will be very easy!"

Why Choose Me?

"I am a very sweet mommy girl. I have my little puppy, Cassie, whom I love very much. She keeps me busy and distracted, so I don't pay much attention to all the other doggies' loud barking.  I am a quiet, gentle lady. I can really look into your eyes and beg you to take us out of here. We need a home where I can teach my baby to be as perfect of a dog as I am. You won't find a gal with a sweeter nature!"

Why Choose Me?

"I was wandering around with my mom, shown above...well, we think she's my mom anyway. We are not totally sure, but we definitely act like a family. I am an adorable, silly puppy who enjoys running around and bugging my Mom!:-) But she is very sweet and patient and licks and loves me all day long. Come and take me home! It?s a week of puppies here at AC, we all need a fair chance at life!"

Why Choose Me?

"We got lost, and now what can we do?? A lot of barking makes us nervous. It's just so loud here!  We are so small and so scared! It?s a good thing we have each other here! We help each other get through everything...If you can take two pups, we would love to stay together! However, we'd rather be adopted separately than to die here waiting for a together home. So do what you can to save at least one of us.  We are both very calm and sweet. We would be a perfect family! Oh, good news! We are already potty trained and we are small lap pups, so we wont take a lot of space. We will just be your friends forever. Please help us!"

Why Choose Me?

"Have you seen a cuter puppy than me? I am very friendly, smart and loving? I can run and jump and be crazy, but I also love to cuddle.  I would love for you to pick me up and just let me sleep curled up in your lap. Please take me home with you. I do not understand where I am right now or how I got here, but I am ready to go, sitting like a patient prince by the door. Can I take a nap in your lap.:-)"

Why Choose Me?

"Guess what? I know how to smile and grin. Yep! That's right! Just call me Smiley!  I am super sweet,  and I can't help  wondering if my owners will find me. I am very elegant, very calm and beautiful! I was running around with a rope around my neck when the nice officer found me.  Please come in and meet me in case my owners don't find me here.  All I can do is hope this all ends well and we can have some fun together. I am in great shape, and being part Ridgeback makes me a runner. If you like the outdoors and would like a hiking partner, I'm your guy! Let?s go camping!:-)"

Why Choose Me?

"Aren't I just the cutest little thing? It's hard to believe that I've been here 
over a week without getting snatched up instantly! I look so out of place in a big 
pen all by my lonesome, so I was quite excited when Sadie moved in next to me. We introduced ourselves by touching noses through the fence and wagging our tails! I actually look like a tiny version of her since we have the same fur color! And if I grow up to be as obedient as she is, you'd have one great catch on your hands! But you've got to hurry! Even puppies aren't always spared when animal control is full!"

Urgent case!!

Why Choose Me?

""I'm a gorgeous friendly red husky who can't understand why my owners gave me up just because they are moving. I wish folks wouldn't dispose of us dogs so easily. :( My impound sheet says that I am good with children and that I lived with a male husky. I've pretty much lived my life outdoors, but would love the opportunity to be inside more. The neat thing about us outdoor dogs is that we're accustomed to doing our business outside, making housebreaking a cinch! I love car rides, too, so I'll be waiting patiently for you to pick me up and take me home with you. Please hurry! As an owner surrender, any day could be my last."

Why Choose Me?

"I'm a sweetheart of a gal who is pretty calm for my young age. I'm just a little 
shy initially, but I warm up rather quickly. I walk really well on a leash and enjoy 
greeting folks with a gentle smile. This place doesn't stress me out too much, but I'd much rather be in a comfortable home with you. I'm only 25 pounds, so I won't take up much room, but I'd sure fill your life with unconditional love!" 

ADOPTED!:-)

Why Choose Me?

"I'm a super sweet love muffin who arrived here with Landon. It's obvious I haven't been taken care of all that well since I'm a little on the thin side, but I don't 
hold any grudges. I greet everyone with such enthusiasm. Daisy and I had a good ol' time playing in a pen together today. So whether you need a companion for yourself, another dog, or both, chances are I'd fit right in with your family! Please don't wait any longer!" 

Why Choose Me?

"I'm the ultimate love muffin who desperately wants to get out of here and into a 
loving home. I kept giving the volunteers some bear hugs, latching on tightly and 
looking at them with pleading eyes as if to say, 'please save me!' I know it's not 
polite to jump, especially when there's 70 pounds of it leaping at you, but all I 
really want is to make it out of here alive and spend the rest of my life with you. 
Please hurry! I promise you won't regret it." 

Why Choose Me?

"I may not make the best first impression since I seem shy and scared, but quite 
frankly this situation frightens me. I'm smart enough to realize what danger I'm 
facing, especially when animal control is so full, as it is now. But once the 
volunteers coaxed me out of my pen and away from all the barking dogs, I became more relaxed and calm. Not only do I look like I'm wearing a tux, but I also have a gentlemanly quality about me. I am well-mannered and already neutered, so please don't pass up this great catch!"

Why Choose Me?

"I was picked up at a local supermarket because some folks were afraid of me. The worst thing I would do to them is give them a bunch of tail wags and kisses! I'm obviously someone's beloved pet who wandered away from home since I know all the basic obedience commands. Plus I'm sporting a nice leather collar with a butterfly tag, but unfortunately no identification, which would've landed me at home, rather than the pound. But if my owners don't find me here, I'll certainly need a new home ASAP!"

RECLAIMED!:-)

Why Choose Me?

"What a silly guy I am! With my floppy ears and funny grin, I tend to bring out smiles and laughs where ever I go.:-) My owner abandoned me and left town.  It hurt my feelings to be left behind, but maybe it's for the best. Now I can sit and hope for a new home where I'll be part of the family like I should be!  I'm not a very big guy...only around 55 pounds.  I'm lots of fun, friendly, and happy.  Please hurry though!  Animal control is so full.  We dogs here need so many angels this week.  Will you be just one of our angels?"

ADOPTED!:-) 

Why Choose Me?

"I'm dog of the week because my visitors worried that my
initial shyness would cause me to be passed by at the pound.
But, ya see, while I am a very scared pup in my kennel, once
I was coaxed into the play pen I had an immediate
personality change-- my legs stopped shaking and my tail
popped up and wagged the whole time.  I like to kiss people
(especially if you rub my tummy), I like to play fetch, and
my visitors suspect that I might be potty-trained! What a
catch I am! Another visitor with his kids said that Border
Collies are really, really smart dogs -- duh. I'm very
sweet, too. Please come adopt me so I won't have to stay the
timid, terrified dog my visitors first saw."

ADOPTED!:-) 

Why Choose Me?

"I am one bee-youuuu-teee-ful pup. I have a silky chocolate
and white coat and a sleek, muscular body. I barked a
greeting to my visitors from my pen, but don't be frightened
by my "hello" because although I look like a big dog, I'm
really just a pup at heart. Right when I got into the play
pen I literally jumped with all 4 legs right into one of my
sitting visitor's laps and gave him a sloppy kiss. I'm potty-
trained, as well.  I'm really friendly and playful and look
goofy when I jump so high in the air with my tongue hanging
out. I also like to give hugs, so c'mon by for a visit and
maybe I'll convince you into letting me give you hugs for
life."

Why Choose Me?

"I'm a friendly girl with thick, shiny black fur. I'm a very
calm and mellow dog, so I would probably be very good around
children and other pets. I liked sniffing around the play
pen before insisting my visitors pet me. Once I got to know
them, my tail finally perked up and wagged. I'd love to get
out of here and have a family to call my own. Won't you
adopt me?"

Why Choose Me?

"My name is Dance because I love to move my 60 pounds body as in a dance; I have a very pretty coat and eyes. I love babies, rabbits, cats, dogs, and everybody! I am 1 1/2 old and I would like to know why my owner didn?t take me with her when she moved. I am housebroken too!"

NO LONGER AVAILABLE:-( 

Why Choose Me?

"I am a sweet and smart 10 week girl. I love to play and play with all the dogs but if you get close to me, I forget to play because I?d rather cuddle. I would like you to come and play with me!"

ADOPTED!:-) 

Why Choose Me?

"I look very funny because I used to get a lot of food from my previous owners, which were 3 kids! But my coat doesn?t match the new house they got, so they brought me here. I am very confused, but I am making friends with all the dogs, I have a big heart, I am 2 years old and need a second chance."

RESCUED!:-)

Why Choose Me?

"The cool guy of the block, just 4 months old and I can sit and play for ever. I will be a beautiful big lab, and maybe my owners will rescue me, but if they don?t, please come and teach me how to fetch the ball. I want to play with you!"

Urgent Case!

Why Choose Me?

"Oh no! I'm in a pickle here.  I'm an owner surrendered puppy, so my last day could be any day.  My owners don't want me because they think I'm too big.  So far I'm between 20-30 pounds, so yeah, I'll grow up to be a pretty big boy.  But I'm a ripe age for getting involved in training classes.  A big, trained boy is easier to handle than a tiny, untrained dog!  So in reality, size shouldn't matter too much!  My owners said I am current on my rabies vaccinations and I'm housebroken!!  I'm still learning though, so an occasional mistake has to be forgiven.:-)  I'm great with kids and other dogs.  For a perfectly healthy, energetic puppy, please come look into my beautiful green eyes, and you'll see how special I am!"

Why Choose Me?

"Wow, I'm a regular "Black Beauty".  I have one of the prettiest, shiniest coats of fur you'll ever see.  I'm extremely quiet...not one of the barkers here this week.  And I'm very mellow.  When Ally came in my cage, I thumped my tail a couple of times, and sat there patiently waiting for her to finish taking my photo so we could walk.  I am an absolutely handsome boy with a personality to match!  If you've been looking for a lower-maintenance "man's (or woman's) best friend", I'm just the guy for you. Hurry!!!"

Why Choose Me?

"I am just a WONDERFUL girl.  At least that's what my photographer kept saying because I know how to balance friendly exuberance with good manners.  I have obviously had some great owners in my recent past.  I am so clever and eager to please that I try and anticipate what you want me to do.  In fact, the nice lady who works here had trouble at first seeing if I was a boy or a girl, because whenever she kneeled down to look, I'd sit, and when she stood up, I stood up.  I wanted to please her and show her how good I am by mirroring everything she did!  It took a big bear hug for her to finally get a peek.  That was fun too!  If you're looking for a more mature girl who's still got lots of pep and years left to love, I'm it!" 

ADOPTED!:-) 

Urgent Case!

Why Choose Me?

"Oh my, I'm a skinny, sad sight.  Yes, another owner surrender here this week. My owner said he couldn't control me, but I'm as mellow of a dog as you'll see! What's there to control?  I don't pull on my leash...I gently follow behind you and go wherever you ask me to go.  I'm current on my shots, so at least we know I'm healthy.  My previous owner said I'm good with kids and other dogs!  I've recently had puppies, and I miss my babies.  Please give me a chance to love and be loved."
