Our Goal
We are dedicated to the successful and lifetime placement of our animals with loving homes. A new pet is a lifelong commitment. We take that commitment seriously, and we expect our adoption families to take it seriously too. We make every effort to find the right home for each animal, so when you apply for one of our animals, please be prepared to complete a thorough application, personal interview, and provide references.
We implement a thorough application-screening process with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period. If approved, you start a 10-day trial adoption. If the trial period goes well, and you decide to adopt your new family member, you will return to the Adoption Center to finalize the process.
Adopting a Shelter Animal
These are sheltered, homeless animals that are not always perfect in every way. They may need extra time to adjust or have unforeseen behavioral or medical problems. While we strive for successful placement by providing as healthy, well socialized animals as possible, we can only provide any history we have received, collected, or observed from staff or volunteers during their stay.
Why is There an Adoption Fee?
We must be able to cover the costs involved in caring for the animals we house. These costs include feeding, exams, vaccinations, medications, licensing, spaying or neutering, processing, and regular shelter maintenance. We depend on these adoption fees and donations to cover these costs. If a relatively small adoption fee causes the prospective pet owner concern, then he or she very well may not be prepared to make the financial commitment required of responsible pet owners.
Foster families needed:
We
are initiating a foster home program for dogs and cats. If you would like
information about becoming a foster home, please contact our adoption
center/shelter or our business office. Foster homes must be located in the Anchorage
