Description

Do you want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelters are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. About 6.5 million companion animals are taken in each year by shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Yennifer, a Miniature Pinscher up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder.
