🎾 This goofy girl is Layla. She is one of our senior dogs at 10 years old, and still has the energy of a much younger pup. She is so excited to meet everyone, and says hello to each new person that goes by on our walks. Spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated she is good to go. She knows “sit” and “paw” and will try to anticipate your commands for a treat. She does well on a leash and responds to directions. Layla is a playful gal that is looking for the right forever buddy. 💚💙

🪁 Meet Binx, at 8 years old he is full of curiosity and loves to explore. One of my favorite things about him is that every time he explores somewhere new he lets out a “wow!” meow, like he is fascinated by all he sees. Watching him warms my heart and brings me joy, and after all his discoveries, he gently wandered back to me and curled up in my lap. Binx loves being held, getting pet, and gives you the feeling that you belong with him. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated, all he needs now is a home of his own. 💚💙

🫶 As a community we have been through a lot together. With the winter months rolling in, holidays and rising cost, we are ever grateful to all of the amazing people around Alaska that have come together to help their fellow Alaskans. Here at Anchorage Animal Care & Control we have a Pet Food Bank for anyone who needs it. Built by the donations from our community for the beloved pets we hold dear.

🐾If you are in need of pet food, please visit our shelter off of Elmore and Tudor. We are open 7 days a week: Monday through Friday from 12PM to 7PM, and Saturday/Sunday from 11AM to 5PM. When you arrive, please visit customer service, tell them how many pets you personally have, if they have any allergies, and what size they are (we want to make sure they have the appropriate sized food for swallow safety). We are here to help, we understand, we've been there.

💞 If you are in a position where you can donate to the food bank we are in need of cat food. Dog food goes fast due to their size, but cat food is the most requested food for our Pet Food Bank. All donated food can be dropped off in the lobby, for larger loads we would be happy to grab a cart to help you get it inside. For pallets of food please meet us at the garage so that we can make sure it is brought in safely. Again, thank you to everyone though out the year, who have assisted us with keeping our Pet Food Bank going strong. Your kind hearts will always be appreciated here. 💚💙

🤩Curly was so happy to be reunited with her family after being separated from Typhoon Halong. It had been weeks of being away from anyone she knew but thanks to the efforts by Bethel Friends of Canines she was able to get on a flight last night, flown into Anchorage, and delivered straight to her family the very next day.💚

🐶We also want to thank everyone in our amazing community that made so many donations, as it allowed us to send Curly home with a care package of food, toys, blankets, collars, treats and pretty much anything a dog could ever need.💙

🎪 Smart, talented, and knows how to pose like a model, meet Strawberry! This amazing dog is easy to walk on a leash, loves meeting new people and takes treats gently. She is 9 years old, spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Don’t let her age fool you, she is very playful while still being a very good listener. An excellent choice for November’s Adopt a Senior Pet month. 💚💙

🧶 Looking for a cuddle cat, than look no further! Buffy is calm, quiet and loves to be held. At 2 years old she will follow you around a room so she can make sure that she has a prime snuggle spot at all times. She is so happy to be in your arms she starts purring if she even thinks you are going to pick her up. Spayed, microchipped and vaccinated she is a delight to have and would make a wonderful pet for anyone that loves being adored by their pet. 💚💙

🍑 While we are known most often for dogs and cats, we also have little fuzzy buddies to adopt as well. This itty bitty is Hamtaro, timid at first but warms up to anyone who wants to snuggle. Their favorite past time is being curled up in their paper bedding snoozing, poking their head out to people watch, and exploring hamster tunnels with gusto and main character energy. 💚💙

🐾Pawsitive Vibes, Hensley's Volunteer Time:

I have been enjoying walking Hensley. She is a a large, energetic lab, who listens and responds to appropriate leash corrections. She does seem to be housebroken and does her business outside when given the chance. I brushed her out and she seemed to enjoy being brushed. I had her in the play yards today and she loved playing with balls and a squeaky toy. She would retrieve the ball and drop it if you threw a new one. I think that would be easy to teach her to bring it back. She is cautious walking on linoleum floors, it may be because they are shiny and slippery. She will need some gentle coaching to give her more confidence on those types of floors. She takes treats very gently and is overall a sweet dog. 💚💙

Interested in Hensley? Come fill out an application and meet her in person. All of our available pets can be found at https://24petconnect.com/AACCAdoptablePets

Updated Information 11/6

👑Dear reader, it has come to this author's attention the scandal of Princess Laya who at the Queen's egg ball displayed such fanciful feathers that they could have blended in with any eligible hens in Birdgerton. To our surprise it was this foul was actually Jabba the Cluck, a suiter, so interested in the glitter and glam of the iridescent gowns worn by the tan that with practice and some ruffled feathers was able to outshine all the other biddies in town, causing the mistaken impression they were indeed worthy of the title Mother... hen. Our humblest apologies Jabba, you wear that crown proudly.💚💙
