Anchorage Animal Care and Control

Anchorage Animal Care and Control We are the open-admission animal shelter for domestic animals and the enforcement agency for Title 17 Animals for the Municipality of Anchorage.

Our shelter provides a temporary home to stray animals waiting to be claimed by their owners or homeless animals waiting to be adopted. We have an active volunteer force that helps exercise and socialize shelter animals. Animal control officers respond to requests for assistance regarding animals in need and to concerns about animals that might be a threat to public safety.

🥜🎃It’s always so much fun when we have a Girl Scout Troop come in to do some volunteer work. We made cat toys and dogs treats, met some kittens, pet a bunny, and even gave them a full run down of how our shelter works with a tour included. With all the extra hands we were able to provide a lot of kennel enrichment for the pets in our shelter and we could not be more grateful. Thank you to every one in Troop 740, who also have officially set the cookie sandwich tower record, with a total of 40 cookies held together with peanut butter and pumpkin.💙💚

✈️ Always on the move to find new sights and floor snacks this is Karina. At 2 years old, she is microchipped and vaccinated and is a very independent lady, she will strut around her new space and rub on everything letting you know she approves of your decor. She doesn’t mind being held and enjoys head pets and will flop over for back scratches. Karina is great for anyone the wants a cat that is both good for petting but is also content to roam the house on her own. 💚💙

🎉 Meet our first kitty of the new year! This sweet baby is Corrie. She is 2 years old and adores full body pets and purrs when held. She is very curious and takes her time exploring and will provide you with detailed feed back on her discoveries. When she wants more pets she will gently rub against you or headbutt your hand and the make biscuits while she waits for love. She adores meeting new people, but not other kitties, so we recommend her for as single cat household. If you want to start the new year off with this pretty love bug, then come meet Corrie and see if she is the kitty for you! 💚💙

🦌Vixen is the last pup in her litter so we found it fitting to make her this weeks ‘Pet of Week’. Help this little angel find her forever home before the new year. Vixen can be a little reserved with new people, but she is t scared, she just needs a bit of love to truly open up. We do hope she goes to a home that already has a dog, as her true personality really shows when she is around other playful companions. We are open until 3pm today, so come fill out that adoption application as soon as we open.💙💚

This happy boy is just 2 years old, and is on the lookout for a place he can call home, a place where he can have a family to love and be loved by.

💙Bunnies do make wonderful pets, and we always have some looking for their forever home here at the shelter. Take a look at a few of the adorable hoppers we currently have available for adoption and consider making your family a little bit bigger.

💚If you have been thinking about potentially adopting a rabbit, we do highly suggest doing your research first as every pet has different requirements, however the link below is a great place to start.
