This spring, help the dogs of AC&C by donating a Kong by March 31, 2011. AC&C of NYC is a private 501c3 non-profit organization that contracts with New York City for animal control services. Each year, AC&C takes in thousands of dogs. Those not adopted are simply euthanized, sometimes within a matter of days.
Dogs residing at AC&C experience stress from many things including social isolation, barren environments, large numbers of other animals, noise, lack of exercise and boredom.
Your gift of a Kong will help:
- Reduce anxiety and stress.
- Stimulate the mind while providing a tasty distraction
- Provide a durable toy/treat dispenser
- Deter destructive behavior
Mail Kongs to:
Miriam Bouchma
3 Times Square
11th Floor
New York, NY 10036

I adopted my dog from the ACC. I'll be sure to send some Kongs. Thanks!
Great article, Do you have a link for donations for the dogs?
Paul - you can follow our progress on our facebook page. Kongs are gratefully received at the address above (as we are a meetup group, we are only accepting Kongs, not cash. Animal Care & Control is in full support of our drive, and will provide a receipt to anyone requesting one).
