Alaska Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

THANKS TO THE MANY PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES WHO MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE... Community support has been crucial in helping us to rehabilitate many animals over the years – including "Deuce" and "Big Red" (see their stories below). • Thank you to the student council and teachers Heather Short and Katie Weidemaier at Ocean View Elementary School in Anchorage for their generous fundraising and donation of $402 to the Alaska SPCA at the end of the 08/09 school year. The animals at the Adoption Center are very grateful to these terrific young people for their hard work, thoughtfulness, and generosity! • Thank you to the ETSY Artisans who donate either their artwork or a portion of the proceeds from is sale to the Alaska SPCA. Please support the following businesses to thank them for their continued generosity to the Alaska SPCA (click on each logo to be taken to its respective website): Alaska Pet-ography - David Jensen provides professional studio photographs of some of our adoptable animals.

The Anchorage Press - Generously donates two classified ads each week – one for our Spay Clinic and one for our Adoption Center.

Alaska Mill Feed - Located in Downtown Anchorage, they have a wide selection of products and have hosted many SPCA events. Anchorage Animal Care & Controls - Several rescue organizations like us try to rescue as many homeless animals from Anchorage Animal Care and Control as we can. Best Buy of Anchorage - Generously donated an Acer laptop computer for us to use in our office. Petfinder.com - Our adoptable animals are featured on petfinder.com (and petfinder.org) – an online database of homeless pets in the U.S. and beyond. The site has facilitated ten million adoptions in its first ten years. Users can search by kind of animal, breed, gender, size and/or age. Deuce – We rescued this highly-spirited 8-month-old kitten from Mat-Su Animal Control. He had been "thrown away" in a trash can with a badly disfigured right front paw. Thanks to our very generous community (and a healthy dose of his own spite), Deuce has successfully overcome the full amputation of his leg, and has found his way into a wonderful and loving home. Big Red – This sweet St. Bernard mix was found wandering the streets of Anchorage and slowly starving to death. When he arrived at our Adoption Center (top two photos), he weighed only 60 pounds and could hardly lift his back end. Through your donations we were able to properly examine him, attend to his medical and nutritional needs, and bring this lovable spirit back to a healthy weight. Now, nearly 40 pounds later, Big Red has happily found his forever home.
Make a donation and save a life! The Alaska SPCA is a private, non-profit organization funded by donations and proceeds from our thrift shop. We do not receive any funding from government sources, nor are we affiliated with any national organization. All proceeds from our services benefit our shelter animals and programs. Thank you on behalf of all the animals!
