Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, shelters in and around Anchorage have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Across Alaska, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for an adorable new fur child is at Alaska Animal Rescue Friends Aarf, where Harvey the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Buster, a Labrador Retriever mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
