From Privilege to Partnership: A Humane Future, Built Together

As we look ahead, we also see the path in which was laid behind us by those with the same thoughts, intentions, and ideas. We’re grateful for the support of people like you throughout our journey and these changing years. Our path forward continues to be one guided by the same principles we were founded with, and a goal to reach even more of our animal loving community. 

2025 and Beyond: A Humane Future, Built Together 

Now having celebrated our 70th anniversary, Alaska SPCA is preparing to build a new Alaska SPCA Animal Center—a consolidated campus designed for the next century of care. The facility will include: 

• A high-volume spay/neuter and pet health clinic, capable of serving dozens of animals each day. 

  
  

• An expanded shelter and adoption space with environments that reduce stress and improve welfare. 

  
  

• A community education and training hub, where pet owners, volunteers, and veterinary professionals can gather to learn, collaborate, and advocate for humane solutions statewide. 

  
  

The Center represents more than a building—it’s a promise to carry forward the lessons of seven decades: that compassion is most powerful when it’s shared, and that access to care is the foundation of prevention. 

From Judgment to Justice 

The evolution of Alaska SPCA mirrors the evolution of the humane movement itself. What began as a call to control has become a call to connect. The organization has rejected the false moral hierarchy that equates income with responsibility. Instead, it has embraced a truth long understood in Alaskan communities: every person who loves an animal is part of the solution. 

This inclusive vision reframes animal welfare as a form of community wellness. When we help people care for their pets, we prevent neglect, reduce surrender, and strengthen the bonds that make neighborhoods safer, kinder, and more resilient. 

A Legacy of Care, Compassion, and Community 

From its modest 1955 beginnings to its modern statewide programs, Alaska SPCA has embodied a quiet revolution in animal welfare—one that replaces privilege with partnership, and judgment with justice. 

For seventy years, it has proven that love for animals is universal, and that our most humane future lies not in separating people from their pets, but in standing beside them. 

As Alaska SPCA steps into its next chapter, it carries forward a message that resonates far beyond state lines: 

Every act of care strengthens the bond. Every bond strengthens the community. And every community that cares for its animals becomes more humane—for all who live there. 

Our goals are within reach, but we need your help to turn them into reality. Your donation today means expanded programs and services for the pets and pet families of Alaska.
