Description

Want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the Anchorage community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to place pets with families. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are surrendered to rescue organizations each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. On a search for a lovable new four-legged friend? Consider beginning at a local adoption center like Alaska Cat Adoption Team, where Raziel the cat is waiting patiently. 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 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.
