Two of our shelter dogs took the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen test on Sunday February 12! Thanks to all the hard work and training put in by volunteers to accomplish this unusual feat (though it is becoming less and less unusual at our shelter--again, thanks to the wonderful volunteers!). Congratulations to Bounder and Brittany (the canines) and to volunteer trainers Karen and Peter!
AACCC
wishes to thank the following veterinary clinics for providing free spay and
neuter surgeries for our adoptable dogs. Each clinic usually performs one
surgery a week, 52 weeks a year, for our canines, reducing each adoption fee by
$80 to the public. This not only makes the dogs more adoptable, it has a
significant impact on pet overpopulation in Anchorage. Thank you for performing
this invaluable task!

Friends of Anchorage Animal Shelter
In
the heart of a city with a population of over 275,000, the Anchorage Animal
Care & Control Center (AACCC) is as unique as the town in which it
lies. The dogs can enjoy a walk along a trail system unlike any other in the
United States. Surrounded by woods and water, this trail makes a nice outing
for both humans and their canine companions. AACCC has an active
shelter dog training and enrichment program, and is one of the few shelters
in
the country to have dogs pass the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good
Citizen test. If you have the time,
and would like to become a part of the volunteer team at AACCC, stop by
and pick up an application. They are
located at 4711 Elmore Road, just
behind the Anchorage Police Department.
Below are just a few of the wonderful dogs you will find at the Anchorage Animal Shelter. They have some "characters"!
