Our vision is for every animal to live a life of love

To Save the lives of shelter animals through fostering and education in partnership with Evansville Vanderburgh Animal Care and Control and our community

A.C.A. is a network of foster homes, an entity formed to help animals from Evansville Vanderburgh Animal Care and Control. The animals in our foster care program have all come directly from EVACC.

We choose to pull only from EVACC because of the thousands of great animals that come through the shelter each year. Thousands of cats and dogs (and some chickens, horses, and small furries) are relinquished to the shelter each year. Some are given up by owners, victims of hard times, or new living circumstances. A larger portion have come in as strays, found on the streets of Evansville, held for 7 days at the shelter for an owner to reclaim them, and then given a very short period of time in which to find an adoptive home before the kennel is needed.
