Animal Care Sanctuary is a no-kill, non-profit organization located in East Smithfield & Wellsboro Pennsylvania. Our goal is to promote the humane care and treatment of all animals in need of protection including rescued, abandoned, and abused animals. Our adoption program seeks to promote the enrichment of the lives of the animals being adopted as well as the lives of their new families.

Sitting on 129 scenic acres, ACS is a truly perfect setting for an animal sanctuary and shelter. Our Canine Care facility is well-maintained and fully staffed with caring and dedicated individuals who are committed to ensuring that the ACS residents are well cared for regardless of the length of their stay. The Canine Care building is 400 feet in length, which is less than optimal for the residents and the caregivers, and therefore we are in the process of remodeling the building through the addition of separating walls and real-life rooms. The size and location of the living space of each individual dog within the Canine Care building is carefully selected to best meet the needs of every resident. A high quality diet is fed to our dogs twice daily, including special foods for those who have unique dietary requirements. We work diligently to reduce the stress levels of the dogs in Canine Care. Indoor enrichment, such as stuffed Kongs, Nylabones, and toys are available to the dogs, and the staff and volunteers interact with the dogs as much as possible including walks through the fields, wading in the ponds, quiet time at an out-of-the-way picnic table, and positive reinforcement training.
