Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to place pets with families. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by animal pounds nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. 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. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder.
