Sign in to Save Progress
This form has been modified since it was saved. Please review all fields before submitting.
Rescue Partners are needed to join with the Aurora Animal Care & Control Rescue Team in order to alleviate overcrowding and to provide placement for animals whose current condition is not manageable in a shelter setting. Animals transferred to AACC Rescue Partners will be vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccinations: additional medical services (spay/neuter, microchipping, testing) may be available depending on the animal and resources currently available. Transport help may also be available. In order to join as an AACC Rescue Partner, every item on this form must be completed and requested documents must be submitted.
