Directory of Animal Shelters in Alaska

The Alaska SPCA ensures all adoptable pets go to their forever homes spayed/neutered, microchipped and registered. In addition, all pets receive an intake wellness exam with one of their veterinarians, fecal parasite screening and deworming, appropriate diagnostic testing (ie., parvo-virus screening or feline leukemia screening), age-appropriate vaccinations, a dental health check. They also make sure new pet-parents are fully informed of any ongoing health concerns that they are aware of.

All of Alaska Dog and Puppy Rescue's adult dogs have been rescued from a shelter or villages from around the state. Each dog stays with a foster family, where they are integrated into family life and are treated like one of the family. Their dogs are not housed in a kennel or shelter, and they receive one-on-one attention and training. Available dogs are spayed or neutered, are current on their age-appropriate shots, microchipped, and receive a health vet check when necessary.
