NY Post: NYC Animal Care Centers ‘mercilessly’ kills adoptable dogs after housing them in squalid conditions: suit

Oct 16, 2023

New York City’s Animal Care Centers keeps adoptable dogs drugged-up and in squalid conditions — only to then “mercilessly” kill them — while the agency uses half of its profits on salaries instead of on canine welfare, a new federal lawsuit alleges.

Dogs at shelters run by ACC — a non-profit under contract with the city — are housed in small, dark cages in extremely humid, windowless rooms with poor ventilation, according to the Manhattan federal lawsuit from Wednesday, which also names Mayor Eric Adams and the city as defendants.


The new lawsuit is not the first controversy that the organization has faced. In fact, the embattled non-profit made headlines in recent years for its alleged mismanagement, negligence and poor animal treatment.
