Feel free to check out our available cats & dogs here on the website, but visiting the shelter is the best way to see which of our awesome animals is the right fit for you. A visit is also a good time to talk to one of our staff members about what kind of pet you’re looking for.
FOR CATS:
Because of limited space in our cat rooms, visits to the shelter may be
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
Please fill out our adoption questionnaire (link above), then follow up by emailing us at aac@bvspca.org
Note: The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccines, and a microchip.
Fostering an animal is incredibly rewarding. When you choose to foster you are not only saving the life of the animal you welcome into your home but also an animal in need that you made space for at the shelter.
Are you ready to open your heart and home to an animal in need?
Easily complete our volunteer application online, or stop by the shelter to fill one out in person.

It is estimated that about 25% of the animals in shelters nationwide are purebred. If you are interested in a specific breed, check our website, or talk to our shelter manager.

This is music to our ears, fill out the foster questionnaire & become familiar with the AAC foster handbook. Someone from AAC with contact you soon after.
Foster homes are responsible for the daily care of the foster animal, including feeding, exercising, socializing, grooming, reinforcing basic obedience commands, observing and evaluating general behavior and temperament, and of course providing patience, love, and security.

not open, you will need to call the foster coordinator or shelter director
immediately to work out a treatment plan.
