Description

Do you want to add to your family and have a positive impact on the Anchorage community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Animal shelters in Anchorage and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by adoption facilities nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for your new four-legged companion is at Alaska Animal Rescue Friends Aarf, where Scarlett the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 appropriate 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.
