🌤️Warmer weather comes with animals of all kinds looking for a snack. This majestic moose is visiting the AACC grounds, and much like Mia the Moose enjoyed taking her time, this stray is in no hurry to move. As always, when visiting Anchorage Animal Care and Control, keep an eye out for our wonderful winter friends and provide them a respectful distance. We want everyone to have a safe day visiting the shelter. Our new friend has a relaxed attitude, adorable little antlers, and a shiny coat: what do you think should we name this one? 💚💙

🐾Volunteer time with Goldie!

Today I walked Goldie. She is one year old and a little shy at first, but once she feels safe she opens up and is an absolute sweetheart. She was awesome on leash and did not pull at all. She liked to go find treats i threw in front of her and watch people nearby. After our walk we went into one of the playrooms where she happily played with toys and came to you for more pets and treats. She is a wonderful girl, and ready for her forever family. 💚💙
