The Alliance at Work

Special Care for AC&C

Thanks to the $220,000 grant the Alliance awarded to AC&C for 2005 and the New Hope staff positions it funded, the coordinated efforts are getting more animals out to rescue groups. In the first half of this year, 3,640 animals were transferred out of AC&C to rescue organizations. The Mayor's Alliance transport van program has helped to facilitate more than 700 of these transfers this year.

In 2005 alone, the Picasso Veterinary Fund of the Mayor's Alliance has helped pay for extraordinary medical treatment for scores of AC&C animals. In the past, most of these animals would have been euthanized because funds were not available to cover their necessary medical costs. Thanks to the fund, these animals received a second chance. Most were taken in by other Alliance Participating Organizations for placement into permanent homes.

And the Mayor's Alliance recently purchased an additional 30 dog beds for the AC&C Manhattan shelter.
