Additional Help

Important: Dogs marked as “NHO Priority” can only be pulled by a New Hope Partner (NHP). New Hope Partners must select the animal through the portal no later than 5:30am the day after the animal’s deadline date. No extensions will be given.

Animals must be picked up by the NHP within 24 hours after the Pull date or prior to the close of business the day after the animal's deadline date, whichever comes sooner

Once a pull request has been made, the NHP will be sent a confirmation email. Only an authorized New Hope Representative may pick up the animal.

Important: If you forget your passcode or have other technical issues using the automated system, email ACC Alt Placement and communicate which animal should be pulled under your NH Group. You will also need to communicate the reason why you were unable to use the automated system so we can address it. Any Priority Placement pull request from a Non-New Hope Partner or extension request sent to ACC Alt Placement will not receive a response.

Non-New Hope Partners selecting adoptable animals from the Portal must complete the adoption prior to the close of business on the animal’s deadline date No extensions will be made.
