Animal Advocates of Contra Costa County is a 501c-3 sponsored group that urgently formed this Spring in response to the rising numbers of strays being placed on euthanasia lists in Contra Costa County and policies that don't go far enough in providing needed resources for the shelters and rescue operations that are working hard to keep our furry friends free from harm. It is our mission to improve the lives of all abandoned animals in our county.AACCC serves as a hub to help rescue groups and volunteers, do outreach in the community as well as advocacy work educating the community and elected officials of the important needs of our county animals. We’re optimistic that all these efforts are making a huge impact on the animals but it takes time, perseverance, and of course, funding.
