Description

Looking to add to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Facilities in Anchorage and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered to animal rescue organizations each year 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, ASPCA data shows. 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 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.
