Welcome to our website! We hope you enjoy your visit. We've packed it full of information
that we hope you find interesting and helpful. Please click on our Available Dogs
tab to see a listing of our rescue dogs waiting for an opportunity to find a loving
home and family. If you find one that captures your heart, please read through our
Adoption Information page and then fill out one of our online Adoption Applications.
If you'd like to see how you can assist us in our rescue efforts or help a specific
one of our rescue dogs, we have a variety of ways you can do so. First, if one of
our rescue dogs has captured your heart, but you're unable to adopt at this time,
then visit our Fostering/Sponsering Page for information on those options. Second,
we are struggling financially like so many others due to these economic times, and
are very grateful for any donations, 100% of which goes right to the care of our
rescue dogs and are tax deductible (we acknowledge all our donations below!) Finally,
before you leave don't forget to watch our Happy Tails slide show to see some great
pictures of our past rescued dogs in their new loving homes. Thanks for stopping
by and for opening up your heart and home to a rescue dog.

Jackie V. of Brooklyn, NY is a volunteer at the Brooklyn Shelter where we rescue many of our dogs from. Jackie's not only gives of her time and energy by spending time with many of the dogs that find themselves sitting at the shelter, but the additional information she is able to gain about the dogs she interacts with is invaluable to the rescue groups that are trying to save and rehome the dogs. Being able to give love and attention to these dogs that are completely shell shocked at finding themselves in such an overwhelming and frightening environment is such an act of compassion on Jackie's part. Now she has sent us a gift of $80 to continue her support of these homeless shelter dogs. We are so very grateful for her thoughtfulness and generosity of not only her donation, but her commitment to the Brooklyn ACC dogs.
-
Ayako U. of Ardsley, NY has sent us a $63 donation. We will use these funds to cover boarding of one of our rescue dogs for 6 days while they wait for us to find them a home, or towards spaying or neutering one of our rescue dogs. We are so appreciative of your thoughtfulness and support of our rescue efforts.

Richard M. of Brooklyn, NY sent in a $100 sponsorship for Fonzie, a 10 month old Cane Corso mastiff pup that Nanette Rescued in July. Fonzie was kept for most of his young life in a crate that was much too small for him, and was unable to stand and develop properly. As a result he is suffering with joint issues in both his front legs and his right rear hip. He will need braces to help straighten his front legs, and definitely surgery to repair his hip. Richard's compassion and kindness towards Fonzie and our rescue efforts is so very appreciated. As soon as Richard's building passes a new ordinance that he can have a dog, Nanette will be anxious to show him a bunch of big, mushy candidates that have been patiently waiting for a loving home.

Chris C. of Boston, MA has sent a $200 gift in memory of Killian, the beloved loyal companion of his dear friends, the McCurdy Family of Kent, WA. Killian, a 100 pound red Labrador was loved and cherished for 15 years, and passed away quietly this week within their arms. Nanette will be using Chris's donation to sponsor Kilo, a wonderful 4 year old Black Lab/Mastiff mix she rescued just yesterday when he was slated to be euthanized. Their similar names and timing has prompted Nanette to further honor Killian's memory by re-naming Kilo, Killian. It would be our wish that rescue dog Killian have the same opportunity of an abundance of love as well as the wonderful home life that the Killian McCurdy did. Rest peacefully sweet boy, you will live on in your family's hearts forever.
-
Donna A. of Staten Island, NY fell in love with Ivy, a super sweet young female mastiff
mix pup that Nanette just rescued from the Brooklyn Shelter. Although she is unable
to adopt her, she wanted to help out with her rescue as Ivy waits for a new home and
family. Donna so graciously sent $100 which will sponsor Ivy's boarding for 10 days.
We are so appreciative of her generousity and kindness towards Ivy and our rescue
efforts.
-
Joan M. of Brooklyn, NY who is one of our previous adopters and supporters, has again
sent us another donation of $100. Joan so kindly added a note to her gift saying
"As a thank you for bringing Saint into my life and to help you in helping all the
animals that you so unselfishly care for." Joan, we continue to be so very appreciative
of your thoughtfulness and generousity, and as always will use 100% of these funds to
support our rescue efforts.
- Julia S. of Basking Ridge, NJ has sent us a $100 sponsorship for Reily, an 8 year old
senior Bullmastiff that Nanette rescued earlier this month. Julia is a Bullmastiff
owner herself and has a definite love of the breed. She has also been a previous
supporter of our rescue efforts of which we are so appreciative. Her generous and
loving support of Reily's rescue will go to covering his boarding expenses and neutering
while he waits for a loving home of his own. He's a lucky boy to have Julia in his corner!
-
Lynn F. of Farmingdale, NJ is one of our previous adopters who has yet again stepped
up to support our efforts by sending in a $100 sponsorship for Reily, an 8 year
old Bullmastiff that Nanette just rescued from the Manhattan Shelter hours before
he was to be euthanized. Reily is a loving senior dog that was found as a stray,
and after only 3 days at the shelter his time was up. We could not let this big
boy die. Reily still has several years of love and loyalty to give someone, and
now with Lynn's help he'll be able to have that opportunity. We are truly grateful
for her generousity and kindness, and gave her the honor of naming him. :) The name
Reily suits him perfectly!

Featured Dogs
Pumpkin, our previous feature dog has found a wonderful loving home with Ron H.
of Carlisle, PA who just recently returned from military service in Iraq after serving
our country.
This beauty is Mizzy, a 2 year old German Shepherd Dog mix (maybe with a dash of
husky, due to her thick coat.) Mizzy found herself homeless after her previous owners
surrendered her to the Brooklyn Shelter saying they had too many pets. We tend to
believe this because Mizzy craves loves and attention when she is with you (like
she was never given any in her previous home.) Those of you that are familiar with
the Shepherd breed know they are devoted to their handlers/owners, so having no
attention would be devastating to them. Mizzy returns any love given to her 200%
and would be a totally devoted companion to you. Mizzy knows the command Sit and
I'm sure would excell with a simple obedience class because she is eager to please
you. She is currently boarding at a private kennel and shares her play space with
3 male shepherds who she loves to rough house and simply hang out with. She gets
along with females too, but prefers males as companions. She has no food guarding
issues, and will actually eat food out of the same bowl they do. Mizzy's previous
family had children so she has been socialized with them and enjoys their company.
She is a bit chubby right now at about 70-75 pounds, so kids that are dog savvy
and sturdy would be the best match in case she bumped them while playing. Mizzy
loves everyone she meets, and is truly a happy go lucky girl. She would just thrive
with an active loving family who will commit to her forever this time. If she has
captured your heart like she did mine, please fill our one of our online applications
making it out to Katya. Mizzy has been spayed, vaccinated for rabies, distemper
and bordetella, is heartworm negative and microchipped. She's just waiting for her
chance!
