These bottle baby puppies had the best possible outcome thanks to one of our many rescue partners, Best Friends Animal Rescue! These babies came to us after their mother passed away after giving birth. Without the quick action from their humans and our rescue partner, these puppies more than likely would have had a different outcome.

With the help of our rescue partners taking animals out of the shelter, it allows us the availability to better care for the animals in our care. Our rescue partners truly make a big impact in our shelter and in the lives of so many animals. Thank you Best Friends Animal Rescue and to all our other rescue partners!

T'was the weekend before Christmas, when all through the Shelter all the creatures were stirring, even the chinchillas. The dogs were singing carols on high, as the cats and rabbits let outa soft sigh. The animals were nestled in their beds, while visions of family danced in their heads. A Shepherd and a Pittie talked into the night, hoping for a future so bright.

We are open today and tomorrow for Walk-Ins from 12p - 4p. They hope to see you all!

We had an amazing visit at Maple Springs of Wasilla! These visits wouldn't be possible without our amazing volunteers & shelter pets. Thank you volunteers for all you do for our community & for the shelter!

1 year old Bucky (Labrador/retriever mix) came with us and is still available for adoption as of 12/16. He's got a couple of cues in him and could use an adventurous buddy ready to positively lead him mentally & physically.🐾
You can read more about Bucky at: https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PP19961/57161374
